Take some collards. A lot. Wash 'em. Tear out the thick stems. (Keep those though for stock and stuff.) Shred the greens into pieces. Set 'em aside. In a dutch oven, render some good bacon. Not that sliced crap, but a BIG hunk of cured bacon cut into like 1/2 inch pieces. (I don't really do recipes.) After the fat is all melty and the bits left are a little crispy, huck your greens in there. Mix em around and get 'em all coated in fat. Fat is tasty. (This non-recipe is not vegan.) Pour some stock in there (just a little) so you can deglaze the pan and get the yummy bits off the bottom. (Scrape these with a wooden spoon.) Then add some vinegar and a little cayenne. I add maple syrup for sweetness, but am unsure of the legitimacy of said syrup. I don't care, it tastes good. Mix it all up and put the lid on it. Cook on low for a long time until the greens are tender. Eat them.
I usually eat them with fried fish or chicken and hushpuppies. Mashers are good too, to soak up the juice.

Ok this passes the sniff test. If you wanted to change one thing to make it more "authentic" try molassess instead of maple syrup next time but whatever. Safeway does carry Salt Pork in large chunks.

To my knowledge, Japan does not. But I know where to get really good cured bacon. No idea if I can get molasses. But I'm origially from New England and spent a lot of time on my cousins sugar farm. Glad I pass the sniff test though. I love greens.

My fam is from New Orleans and we aren't big on sweet so no syrup or molasses when we do ours but I have had them prepared with that in New Orleans when I've visited.

IMO if you want to make it more "authentic" use a hamhock instead of bacon. Parbroil it just like you do your bacon then throw it in a pot with your collards. Cook your collards. After your collards are done remove the fatty excess from the hamhock, shred the meat from the bone and leave that with your collards. That's how my Gma does it but your method is pretty close poopkitty.

One time on the ship on southern food day we had some TERRIBLE greens. I tasted them first, and when Boats came in (a not-skinny old grizzled black guy from Georgia) I told him not to bother. He didn't listen. So he tasted them, and then got up, went tearing into the galley yelling for whomever made the greens.

It was a poor little scared black girl about 20 years old and he asked her if her momma would be proud. She said she didn't know her momma and then he asked if her granny would be proud. She didn't know her grannies either and Boats yelled "so who the hell taught you how to cook?" She just cried that her daddy raised her the best he knew how and then Boats cried and took her into the galley again for greens lessons and I went too, because I felt bad for her because Boats is a little scary. (And also I wanted to learn and I had nothing else to do.) She makes amazing food now and she and Boats have a great relationship and I let her borrow my phone to call her dad and tell him she learned how to cook greens and now I'm crying at my desk.

She's young and it's normal. I just feel bad when I have to correct her because I secretly want her to continue to growl/speak because it's so goddamn cute.

I want to like cooked greens more than I do, but without the ability to add bacon they're just greens with no fat and that is sad.

That is sad. :( There has got to be a good recipe out there. Can you use coconut oil? I love kale in coco oil for breakfast. ( I went vegan for a few weeks for a diet and loved it but it wasn't a sustainable lifestyle for me.)

Olive oil, thinly sliced onions, crushed red pepper, and plenty of garlic are delicious with greens. Mushrooms make a great addition if you need something meat-ish. Top with salt, cracked pepper and maybe a little parmesan

I have sauteed greens for dinner like three nights a week

I will try this! Traditionally I have eschewed onions but I am slowly getting to be ok with them. I just have to make them super cooked and never ever raw or crunchy.

Some kind of scruffy terrier mix. She's just dumb looking but in a horribly cute way. Almost looks like a homeless dog or something.

Cook the onions first, only add the other stuff once they're really tender. They get slightly sweet that way, and it goes really well with the other flavors and adds nice texture
