It took a surprising amount of doing, but the leafy, bitter and oft-tasty collard green is now all but the official state vegetable of South Carolina. You can see our previous coverage here.
Believe it or not the measure was contested in the House, passing just 86-14, however Gov. Haley has said she'll sign the bill into law soon.
