You used to hate the collards, and now you donāt.
Got it. Welcome ābackā.
I actually like this topic and will share some thoughts on it later if the thread is still up.
Itās all about how you make them.
Wow you actually spent time doing that. You must have been firedā¦or something else equally sad, either way yaā got time. 
āForeverā seems so short

I was never into greens (or veggies of any sort, for that matter) as a kid. But I really got into SWISS CHARD in college. Since I lived near a dormitory, I would buy a meal card for the cafeteria and spend a LOT of time there eating every day. They ALWAYS had Swiss Chard on the menu (Iām guessing they either got it super cheap from a local supplier, or it was grown on one of the campus farms) and while it kind of started as a joke with my friends and I, we became addicted and obsessed with the stuff.
Iāve never made greens or chard on my own, but definitely when looking for the good shit at restaurants and such, if there are chunks of fatty bacon or ham in it, thatās a good sign.
I think āforeverā lasted about 2 hours at its longest, but whoās counting? Iām just glad to talk about cooking and greens since itās something I actually have interest in. Iām fine with ignoring the elephant in the room for now.
Have you made them, Rev?
Im going to use this as my guide since it seems to follow what I enjoy when I have them made by others. I started cooking during 2020 and this āall recipesā group has always been a great reference. Iāll let yāall know if and when I follow through.
I have not, but Iāve been surprised to enjoy them when other people have made them properly.
Love me some greens. Thereās a bbq joint down the street from me that makes them great.
My better half knows how to make them. I put a request in.
I love greens. I have a vegetable garden and right now I have chard, collards, turnip leafs etcā¦ love to make them steamed and then had olive oil (we add olive oil to everything) and thatās it.
Also, love soup. Cabbage, zucchini, sweet potato, carrots, beans, spinach, peasā¦ Choose 3 or 4 of these, blend everything, delicious.
Love salads. Also simple. Just salt and olive oil. Lettuce, spinach, water cressā¦
Almost forgot broccoli! Love them.
This also was the most difficult post I ever wrote here. Had to search for half of the words. eheh

Yeah weāve got a bbq joint down about 35 min south of Miami called Shivers that makes the most killer collard greens Iāve ever hadā¦
And a greek joint that makes the best green beans ā¦I love greensā¦need to eat more of them this yearā¦
Are collards actually good for you? Like equivalent to eating vegetables or because the way they are prepared make them unhealthy?
I suspect the greens themselves are probably healthy as fuckā¦ when you pick 'em out of the ground. But after weāve cooked āem up with salt, butter, bacon fat, etc, theyāre probably about as healthy as eating a brick of lard and snorting a rail of MSG. We aināt eatinā soul food to make our doctors happy, though.

So you were āmockingā another thread?
Maybe give even the vaguest of reference or context for your supposed deep cut meta humor, since the only thing any of us with normal brains saw was the guy who shit the bed, made a big public āleaving foreverā post, and then lingered around forever, trying to slide back in like weād forgotten the last 18 months of your nonsense.
And honestly, while we hadnāt forgotten your infantile ducker, we were completely okay with moving past it and making the most of your āreturnā. Hell, the place has been a ghost town anyway, so I was pretty stoked to talk about greens.
Just drop the attitude and relax. Everything will be fine. I assure you no one takes this board or you as seriously as you do.

How would you do that when you only show up to erase all of your previous banal comments from the forum and never read anything else?
Funny that you and Peligro used to complain that I couldnāt handle any other opinions other than my own and both of you guys left because you couldnāt handle my opinions. You used to complain that all I do is insult people and yet thatās all the 2 of you ever didā¦ Showed back up to continue being a dickhead. Go get em tiger! you really showed me.
Tsk Tsk gone forever boy.
Dude claims to have been in the navy but is ass hurt about some words on a message board. Good thing for you and all of us you never saw combat.
HAHAHA!!! So your new thread on the board that you donāt follow and that you āleft foreverā 18 months ago was actually a failed attempt to clown Grumpy?
Way to move on with your life.
Can we go back to talking about greens now?

You do. well, at least you know youāre a nobody.
Pretty sure I didnāt mention your name or anything of the sort.
So, you just felt like coming on here and trying to start shit with a post that you spent more time reading and editing than you probably wished to admit?
Hope ya feel better, loser.
ANd just for shits and giggles, as of right now my Cornell thread has 72 views while your homecoming thread has 60. LOL
Loser! hahahahahahahahahahaha.
Sorry to see you havenāt changed at all in in the 18 months after you tantrumed your way out of hereā¦ ānever to returnā¦ā Thought maybe covid would give you time for some self reflection. Maybe learn something. but clearly no, you didnāt. Sucks for those around youā¦ if there are any left around youā¦ Hope you seek some help.
