BBC, no one knows them as "collard" greens here and I can't find mustard greens to save my life. Being that no one in my family eats pork, we make it with smoked turkey neck, not ham hock.
I was describing chitterlings to the Brits at work, which was highly amusing consideringScottish "haggis" is damn near.
Good thing I have family all over the place... I get to hop countries and sample.
My favorite dish has to be jerk chicken with rice and peas hands down! After that, pumpkin soup...

I'd definitely have to go with lambi (aka conch to almost everyone else) boiled or bbq version, and curry goat.
Both go so well with dumplings....St. Lucian style (not same as Jamaican dumplings....these are small pieces of rolled dough boiled in a pot of sauce (peas, beans, seasonings), with some cut up potatoes to make the sauce thick....my stomach is rumbling and my mouth is watering at the thought). It tastes esp well with lambi, in my opinion, but you can pretty much add any kind of meat that you want.

My absolute favorite dishesare from Haiti:
Legume -- a thick stewof beef,lima beans, cabbage, and carrots ( stews were 'ho-hum' to me until I tasted this one)
Griot -- fried chunks of marinated pork
Tassot -- fried chunks of marinated beef
Riz Djon Djon (sp?) -- ricetinted and flavored with indigenous (dried) black mushrooms
I also love a good Jamaican jerk porkw/ rice & peas and sweet fried plantain, andGuyanese roti and phoulorie.
The only foods I still occasionally have a craving for from my own (southern US) heritage are fried chicken, BBQ spare ribs, baked macaroni & cheese (NOT the boxed stuff),andsweet potato pie.

Actually, there are different types of greens plants. Collards are simply one type of greens that grow. There are also kale, turnip, and mustard greens, all being their own distinct plant. Usually, African-Americans mix turnip & mustard greens to cook together from where I grew up, and kale and collards were usually prepared on their own. Oh yeah, you usually cook it in the brothof a smoked meat...it can be pork (smoked pork neckbones are best), but I also use smoked turkey drumsticks, wings and so forth. I try to minimize my pork intake, although when I go home my grandmother will curse me out if I don't eat hur greenz wit da' poke' in it.

[align=left]I love all kinds of fried fish, especially catfish. However, Ieat catfish very seldomly because it is one of the fattiest fish you can eat. I only eat fried fish on certain occasions, but I do love my fish baked in cajun seasoning.[/align]

When I read your post, I thought of this Yoruba proverb for some reason. I have only heard Nigerians talk about palmwine...never had any.

[align=left]That's great! niceone.gif I love all sorts of seafood, but my favorites are crab and shrimp, but because of high cholesterol, I don't want to eat too much of that. It's hard finding people that like seafood, where I'm living at right now. confused3[/align]
