Best fried okra in the world Lots of Okra ( like a buckeful)cut in the slice width of your choice S&P Flour Cornmeal oil or fat for frying(for you fat concerned people use canola) Put cut okra in large container salt and peppr it Toss it around Dust with the flour and shake off excess, let it set and it will get gooey When it gets gooey add the cornmeal, let it set , toss it around Make sure it is quite covered. Heat big pot with oil or fat. Shake off excess cornmeal. Put in enough for the okra to float and fry until brown. You do not want to crowd your fryer so do it in batches. Drain on paper. You want to cook a mass quanity of okra because while it is cooling and waiting for the table it will start disappearing. If you have any leftovers leave it on the counter it will disappear too. We eat it like popcorn. This makes a very good product and will stay crispy for a while. Enjoy! Since I am feeling quite well today think I will do more that one post.

The staples of every area in the south that kept us going for a couple of hundred years before big markets were just down the road. Even in my generation the garden was near the house, game was in the woods and fish in streams ponds and rivers. You just had to go get it. To think back then it was almost free food. During hard times I remember some families talking about a supper of fried salt meat, white sop and biscuits. Mostly this was in the dead of winter when supplies and money had dwindled. A Mother found a way to feed her hungry little group. For those of you that don't know what white sop is it's milk gravy and is very good. And I am still addicted to fried salt meat. Don't get me started on cathead biscuits! Great article D&D. The staples of every area in the south that kept us going for a couple of hundred years before big markets were just down the road.
