“The goosetongue greens were used in boiled dinner. First, we would cook the goosetongue greens. We would put them in a pot of water, let it come to a boil, and then drain the water, add new water, and bring it to a boil again. In total, the water was changed three times. We did this with both fresh and salted goosetongue greens. This way, they wouldn't taste as strong. My parents would add a bit of baking soda, perhaps to sweeten them or to help keep the green colour.”
