Tauketula, you CANNOT have greens without smoked something or greasy meat LOL!!! I told my mom that we have to stop cooking them that way because we are getting older and eating healthy is the way to go and she looked like she wanted to SLAP me into next week!! It took me forever to get her to stop using fatback/jowl bacon. She drew the line at smoked turkey wings LOL!! Her greens are to die for, literally-
Lol. I'm from the south so that is how my mom always made them. I've switched to smoke turkey but my mom still uses fatback!!!! 😀
