You need some flour to hold the corn meal together, seasonings, and some young okra. I grew up with this, picking it meant if it was longer than my fingers I had to stick my thumb nail in it near the bottom. If it didn't dent easily, it was too big and went to the pigs.
Fried in bacon grease or sausage grease, mounded in a plate with slices of fresh, red tomatoes around it and a dusting of salt and pepper...a glass of cold buttermilk and that was dinner in the middle of the day. Maybe a left over piece of pie, if such a thing existed.
Supper we could have the same if we wanted (which meant if we had an over abundance of it coming ripe at that time).
