Default Re: Only a Southener.........

Blanchard, Louisiana, a small town just north of Shreveport, has a Poke Salad festival every year. It's the only one I know of. Poke salad grows wild, so it's gathered by a lot of folks in the south. Saw some growing, and all berried out, at the GA BBQ.

Lamentations Chapter 5:
1. Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
2. Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
3. We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers [are] as widows.
5. Our necks [are] under persecution: we labour, [and] have no rest.
16. The crown is fallen [from] our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!
21. Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
