Yup.  I'm a midwesterner too, but I lived in the south for 10 years (I'm
just a yankee, because I moved back north - If I'd stayed in the south
then I'd have been a "damn yankee").

The fun part about the collard greens is that the way they're prepared
in the south (steamed/boiled with bacon or fatback until they're soggy)
is about right for Medieval Europe too.
