OKRA AND CORN

The Blue Grass Cook Book
Compiled by Minnie C. Fox (1904)
 

OKRA AND CORN
E. D. P.

1 pint of sliced okra,

1 pint of cut corn,

1/2 cup of milk,

1 teaspoon of flour,

1 slice of pickled pork,

Salt and pepper to the taste.
 

Fry the pork and remove, leaving the grease in the pan. Fry the okra 10 minutes; then add corn and fry thoroughly.

Mix the flour and milk and pour over okra and corn, and fry for 5 minutes.

Season and serve.

A teacup of chopped fried tomatoes with the above, instead of the milk, is an improvement.
