It’s polk sallet.

Tony Joe White:

“I spent the first 18 years of my life down there,” said White. “My folks raised cotton and corn. There were lotsa times when there weren’t too much to eat, and I ain’t ashamed to admit that we’ve often whipped up a mess of polk sallet. Tastes alright too.. a bit like spinach.”[3]

I’ve always heard/seen “poke” as well—actually, from looking it up just now—it’s both. Either is correct.
