I'm not sure what went wrong, but my collard greens turned out really slimy. I think I might have overcooked them.

This recipe was a disaster! The collard greens were burnt and the bacon was undercooked.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my collard greens turned out way too salty. I think I'll try it again with less bacon next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

These collard greens were a bit too bitter for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The recipe was easy to follow and the dish was still pretty good.

These collard greens were absolutely delicious! The bacon added a smoky flavor that complemented the collards perfectly. I also loved the addition of the vinegar, which gave the dish a nice tang. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
