      Wow!! Thank you for your awesome support and kind words. Do you know that you’re the first person that came to my channel that knows about old school cooking nobody believes that you could just put water in your greens and get the best broth ever.!! I was taught how to cook by my grandmother, but sometimes I don’t like to do her recipes because the bigger RUclipsrs take my recipes and go viral and I get very little views but I know that I’m going to be able to show all my subscribers how to put love in food very soon thank you again. I truly appreciate your comment and I’m going to pin this comment on my channel🙏🏽🥰

    I grew up with salt pork or ham hocks but later I learned to use bacon ends, chicken broth, a pinch of baking soda (makes the greens so tender!)

    My first introduction to real " Soul " food was while serving
    in the Military and stationed in Gulf Port Mississippi. On my
    off duty time I would often go into town to basically relax.
    During my time in Mississippi I made friends with a Black
    Family who's Father was a Barber on our base. I was invited
    to have dinner with them and I've never tasted better 👍❤
    I'm 77 and obviously retired these days but I'll never forget
    the kindness and generosity that family showed to me.

Hopefully you have an easier way than mine. It's back breaking. My mom put salt in the water when washing. She said the bugs, ( if any) would slide off along with any sand. How do you do it? Thanks!

    Kick it up a notch and replace the hammocks with country ham!!
    Cut the country ham into silver dollar size pieces and fry it in some bacon grease. Then put that in the greens.
    Deglaze bottom of skillet where you fried country hams with a little water then pour that flavor into the greens too.

      You fry them to concentrate the flavour of the greens until they wilt down and watch you don’t use too much water. It’s a balance of whether you want a lot of pot liquor or to have more flavourful greens.

    sitting at the table with your grandma and family eating some of her greens and cornbread. I haven't cook greens in a long time. When my late husband was living he was on a salt free diet. I know not very tasty at all. He was on it so long before he passed I've adapted to his diet. Even today I barely and salt to my diet. I don't care to eat out much because most prepare foods are extremely salty to me. I don't do much cooking at all anymore. I will be cooking those greens in a small amount.

      @@dawnmatthew7933 I hae given it some thought and watching the other shows has given me a good frame work for doing it in a manner that is less annoying. I'm thinking about it. Why do you ask that question?

      Another thing I think about when cooking greens, is to learn to not necessarily use meat, because I would like to enjoy the natural taste of the greens, by using jalapeno pepper, vinegar, one or two chicken bullion cubes, two tablespoons of sugar to take the bitterness away from the greens, and butter. It magnifies the natural and wonderful taste of the greens themselves.

      If you don't overload them with bacon fat, greens are very healthy for you, mustard greens, kale, collard greens, beet greens. My grandmother used to chop up some bacon, fry it and cook her greens in with the bacon and bacon fat.
