Ah, I’m a western MD boy. Sounds like you might be from around the Lancaster area. (I’d kill for a Seltzer’s double-smoked Lebanon bologna sandwich right about now, but I’m on a diet.) We have a country kitchen with a working wood stove and cast iron on the brickwork, and I have Amish signs and pictures hanging on the walls. It’s amazing what you can find in the antiques malls down here. I miss the farmer’s markets back home, and the Amish and German food. My wife actually container grew okra last year. Man, is it prolific. She was born and raised in Atlanta and here in east Alabama - she knows how to get those nasty little hairs off the pods that like to stick into your skin like fiberglass insulation. There’s a lot of canned Southern food down here in the stores, and one is a seasoned mix of tomatoes, okra, and corn. They season it with garlic, onion, and the like, and we have to heat two cans up as a dinner side, because it’s so good we could eat it alone as a meal.
When I say “central” PA I mean central. Centre County.There’s a lot of canned Southern food down here in the stores, and one is a seasoned mix of tomatoes, okra, and corn.

Went grocery shopping because I’ve been put on a low fiber diet temporarily, and lo and behold I found some cans of food on offer answering that exact description. I can’t eat them at the moment, but I bought two in case we like them the way you do when I can eat them. :-)
