Have you ever eaten red-eye gravy? How about poke salad?

Answer 1

Guilty of both.

Answer 2

Poke Salet can kill you. It contains a toxic alkaloid. Eat it raw and we might see you on tonights news with the comments "local man eats poison, dies."

In order to be rendered edible it must be boiled for a long time, the water frequently changed and boiled some more.

Still, enough of the toxin will remain in the leaves as to make a pretty kicking laxative effect. You'll clean the old colon out like you'd never believe, but the cramping and other symptoms make it a little less desreable than just taking ex-lax.

In Oklahoma, where I am from, Poke Salet grows in damp and shady areas near lakes and reservoirs. My old Grandmother once took me out to pick Poke Salet when I was little. Pretty sure she used it as a home remedy for constipation.
