Getting to know you - A Fun 'My Favourite Things' Quiz
Hi! Collards are kind of like cabbage. But larger darker leaves. They are boiled and shrink...a little like spinach. Generally, it is a 'Southern' food. I don't think they eat it in the North...maybe they don't have the climate for it - not sure....but they are missing out. :-)

LLB is a good drink. :)Something to consider is that the liquor licensing laws vary state to state. In Oz you'd probably get a bunch of different outcomes depending upon which state you're in.
Mod
Thought you'd say that, cos of your response to #1!!!! Haha!!
Mod
Thanks Michael ;)
