It was a bit bitter and bland. I would make with broth instead of water. I used a bit of ham instead of smoked pork chops, so that may have made a difference. I'd also increase the garlic and maybe add some celery and sweet peppers (just a tad--1/2 c). There are other greens recipes that are better.01/20/08

To previous reviewer, "Callaloo" is a local name used for a variety of leafy vegetables. This is a good mix of greens worthy of the name.11/04/07
