The term poke [sallet] is an old Southern term for the cooked young leaves of [the poke] weed. [Sallet] comes from Middle English and refers to a mess (another Old or Middle English term) of greens cooked until tender. The term [Polk Salad] is a gentrified way of referring to poke sallet, and Im afraid it reflects our inferiority complex when it comes to standing up for our Southern terminology. We are not making a mush of Polk Salad; actually, we are being true to our English ancestors who settled here a long time ago.
