Guest guest Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Roxy, I really like Mean Mister Mustard Greens. I do what Chanda and Lawanna told us, I chop up an unpeeled apple and cook with the greens, it takes the bitterness out. I also add a lot of garlic and mustard seeds.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 --I add turnips and collard greens to my mustard greens along with a small onion chopped. my daughters' father adds a little bit of sugar to his green, and instead of making cornbread in the oven he would make it on top of the stove he calls it a hoe cake or johnny cake which ever one you want to call it. - In , Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower wrote: > > Roxy, I really like Mean Mister Mustard Greens.
