    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.
