Hi Linda...collards are great if you like Southern cooking or things cooked with smoked meats. Here is a link with lots of recipes...I would suggest you pick one that has things you like in it. In general a smoked meat of some sort is used for flavoring and often red pepper flakes are used for a bit of bite. Many in the south additionally season their greens at the table with pepper sauce or pepper vinegar.

Went to the web site just to check out collard greens. OMG they look nasty! They were free brat, send them to the trash, serious, it's okay really. Way worse than over cooked slimy spinach. No no no miss brat!!!

In my personal opinion I totally dislike collard greens.
For ME there is only 1 thing worse than collard greens, and that is
polk salad. My grandma used to make me go pick the polk salad.
It took forever to get the smell off my hands if I forgot to wear a
pair of gloves. She wash and soak the stuff in the sink for about
a day, than cook it.
When she cooked it I wouldn't go visit her for about 2-3 weeks
because of the horrible smell.
But I know there are many people who like stuff like that I am just
not one of those people.

Louise I didn't have a clue what it was, went and looked up polk salad. Think I would agree with you on that one too, and to top it off you have to know how to clean it and what leaves to take and when or it's poisoness. Mercy, can hardly wait to try that

Never heard of Polk Salad - I'll have to google that one - I love seaweed salad at the Japanese restaurant - that's the best I can do for a strange green - we had beet greens growing up but not collard greens.
I have friends that eat a funky fungus that grows on trees - he calls them sulfers - in my mind I call it YUCK.
I also have a naturalist friend that hunts and gathers wild stuff for the chef's in the Cities and one of them makes a dish using that nasty gross stuff that grows on corn - I call it corn smag - guess it's a case of too each his/her own.
I learned it's not nice to YUCK someone's YUM
