FYI/PSA
POKE WEED (Phytolacca americana) greens are poisonous if not cooked correctly . Not to be eaten raw, confusing SALAD as the song wrongly implies with "POKE SALLET" the actual cooked dish. Tony Joe White was a song writer not a botanist nor a cook of southern foods. Countless people have become deathly ill due to the songs incorrect title.
