Etymology
The word pussly is a regional form of the common plant name purslane, and it refers to a low, edible herb with bright yellow flowers often used in salads and soups. A helpful way to remember it is to think of purslane as the same 'edible plant' cooks in India, Greece and the Middle East add to food, so pussly simply means that edible green.
