Fried okra
VERIFIED evidence grade — master store (canonical CSV)
Combined Graph record U-01018 · provenance: canonical master store (CSV), record CTL-W-0618. Master record source: CTL seed 2026-10-16 — UNVERIFIED, verify before public citation.
Southern Living's fried okra recipe page defines the dish by its cornmeal coating and frying, which 'makes each piece crispy on the outside and tender on the inside'; the companion Southern Living feature (Anne Byrn) documents the preparation — okra dredged in cornmeal and fried in a skillet (both pages read in the wave-21 live-browser dossier; this session's direct fetch could not resolve the recipe-page reference, so the stamp rests on the dossier read). The stored key ingredients (okra, cornmeal) match. Stamp covers the DEFINITION only.
