My Dad and Grandparents always said poke "salat" versus "salad." I wonder why. Probably some more Scottish Highlander speech. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

It's "Salet", just like the "Grand Ole Opry" is the "Grand Ole Opry". Once upon a time, I heard a lady call it "The Grand Old Opera". Obviously not from around these parts. You know, it just sounded kinda....... weird. Anyone recall a song from back in the 60s, called "Poke Salad Annie"? If not, here are the words.... http://www.geocities.com/merrystar3/allysongs/PolkSaladAnnie.htm Jess

Thanks, Jess! I didn't know this song, so I listened to bits of it on iTunes, and found not only the original by Tony Joe White, but covers by Elvis, Little Milton and Sleepy LaBeef. It doesn't get much better. - Heather http://hblair.uchicago.edu/ On Mon, 14 May 2007, Jess Lewis wrote: > It's "Salet", just like the "Grand Ole Opry" is the "Grand Ole Opry". > > Once upon a time, I heard a lady call it "The Grand Old Opera".
