I didn't see this until it was too late to upvote @notconvinced, but I'm reblogging it.
I grew up in S Ga USA, poke weed was everywhere.
I now live in Atlanta and it is here as well. Mama told me that it was poisonous, and from experience I learned the hard way about the berry stain.
Mama also said it could be cooked, more or less as you've described here, but we never ate any.

Telling the kids things are poisonous, so we keep our hands off is a tried and true method. Though, I wish they'd just take the time to actually teach us something useful.😀
I hope you now feel comfortable enough to eat it if the circumstances require it.
Well now, when I try to imagine such circumstances, it always seems to follow that I would also lack pots for boiling and possibly fire, but I'm an outdoors kinda guy (or I once was at any rate) I could probably figure something out.
Thanks @notconvinced
