I have a  friend who used to invite friends in each spring to try his  boiled
pokeweed. There are those who say it's as good as asparagus. 


The site I read said it needed to be boiled twice before it can be safely  
eaten. 
Jim's remarks about his childhood and pokeweed reminded me that we used to  
gather the berries in a jar and let them make "ink" too.  I always have  some 
pokeweed coming up here someplace or another. It can be a rather handsome  
plant.
