Or it may be from the bag that we take with us to hold it after we pick it. Warmest regards, Doc.

I have been quietly chortling over the name, 'cause in Australia, UK and here, a poke is, well, slang for intercourse. There was a vulgar joke doing the rounds a couple of years ago but it made me laugh nervously like a deranged teenager: What's the definition of a Jamaican gynecologist? The answer was, of course: poke her, mon. Stupid, I know, and I'll promise I won't write this on WFD? Now I know what you meant by poke!

Yes, another brand is Louisiana. I do not know if Crystal makes one or not. Look in the pickle aisle, not the condiment section. By the way, you can put more vinegar on them after you use it up a couple of times before all of the flavor is extracted. Warmest regards, Doc. Thanks! Yes, another brand is Louisiana.

That's it. But maybe there is another brand named Louisian--? Uh oh - looks like I have to go to Wal-Mart. Greens totally lack that certain umph without a little Trappey's. It's good on meat, too - and beans. Mmmm. Great diary, btw. Trappey’s! That’s it. But maybe there is another brand named Louisian–?
