You >might even be able to find this stuff at Fiesta...... You really don't understand southern food traditions if you think people would _buy_ poke salad. Finding and picking it is part of the experience. I think most grocery stores would be a little reluctant to stock produce which was known to be poisonous if eaten raw or improperly prepared. That might break a few people of the habit of grazing in the produce department. but killing ones customers is generally not good for business in the long run. Now there might be a market for the parboiled and then frozen poke salad. People might be willing to pay to avoid stinking up their own house. Maybe poke salad can be the next peasant food to become hip and trendy. Suzanne
