I thought everyone knew that to have tasty greens you MUST have some sort
of 'pork' seasoning. That would be either bacon grease, a strip or two
of bacon, or a smoked ham hock. Without that addition to the cooking water
all you have cooked is a bunch of greens that will taste akin to cooked
lawn clippings.
