    Can someone google the recipe? No way this isn't taken from epicurious or some other cooking website.

      The entire saffron line is from here https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1994-12-08-9412040167-story.html but it doesn’t seem to match with anything else

      Actually some of the other lines have parts that correlate, like the first sentence in steps 4

      It’s so weird, it’s like he hired someone to make a chicken with rice recipe he could pass off as his grandma’s, and that person took a shrimp with rice recipe and modified it to use chicken instead, then hired someone else to cook it with beef

        It very well might actually be "authentic" then. A lot of "secret" family recipes can be traced back to mail catalogues and life-style magazines in the 60s. Taking ideas from here and there and making it your own is pretty normal.

        What isn't is owning billions of dollars , like WTF, fly into the sun asshole!

          If nothing else, at least it probably isn’t stolen if that’s the case. If a white person in the south has an “authentic” recipe that isn’t trash it was probably “family” in a way that’s actually a gross as fuck euphemism.

              Yeah, its at the point where the only “authentic” southern stuff I buy is at a farmers market. Too many local brands ended up needing a boycott that I just preemptively do it now. rip the only good pimento cheese brand . On the plus side, the soil here makes vegetables so tasty I would probably go to war for my local okra farmers.

                What's a good way to cook okra? We use it as pickles here, which I love, as well as in some stews though it tends to get snotty and I've no idea how to get around that.

                  A lot of it has to do with prepping it in ways that reduce the slime. I almost always fry it where it’s less of an issue, but cutting it while frozen and/or letting it soak in vinegar before washing off the vinegar can help.
