Zem - The town of Ava, MO has a "Polk Festival" every
Spring and people come from all over to eat polk and
other Spring "greens"... click link below:

My husband is orginally from Maine, and every spring
he craves what he calls "breaks"...Break Greens. It's
like the fiddleheads of ferns, all curled up. He even
had his daughter send him some but it didn't taste as
good as fresh-picked.
