Very good recipe. Tastes like the dish that Mamma Nell cooked for me as a child. I miss her and I miss her cooking. Asked her for her recipes and she just said "I don't write things down, I just cook what I got". Well I got a bumper crop of Okra in my back yard and people who put their feet under my table and going to get a lot of this one.
