I was talking about the alternate greens (as mentioned up thread --
those need to cook longer because they are a tougher leaf) If I had
only some nice salty, smoky bacon, I would render it a bit, add a bit
of chopped onion, sweat it a bit and then put in the torn greens. Add
a bit of water, cover and cook until tender. Maybe some salt at the
end, you need to check. That's a pot of greens. Others use different
seasonings and different kinds of fatty pork. It's all cook's choice
or the way that mama did it Oh, you don't throw out the juices in
the pot, over here the juices are called 'pot liquor.' and they are
served with the greens.

Ahh I understand now Thank you)

Most of those greens mentioned I have never seen. As for the ones I have, he
won't even eat curly kale lol

I guess I am stuck with kale dressed with butter))
