1. The band, I like, elleng

To avoid creating any political animus (big grin here), you can find the Black Eyed Peas on youtube, without the ham or collards.

9. I quit putting meat in my collards years ago

when I discovered braising in coconut milk.

chopped ginger
chopped garlic
(sauted)
Add Coconut milk
Chopped fresh tomato (1 large or several plum)
Splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire

Simmer for a good while.

Put chopped collards in a big pot and pour this over them. Cook until done.

Better than with meat and I'm southerner.
