Tomatoes are my favorite food fresh from the garden. I can't eat hydroponic tomatoes that look like tomatoes but taste like cardboard. Sugar snap peas are tasty right from the garden without cooking.
Yes I grew up in the country. We canned food and slaughtered hogs, chickens and rabbits.
I've never eaten poke salad or ovaries. We used to pick dandelion greens and others for salad. I also grew up eating squirrel brains and deer heart.
