Niche food, looking for a source
I have a very specific craving for proper, spicy, pickled okra. Like Cajun-style. (Yes, I know what I'm getting into lol.)
Unfortunately, I have no place to get such a thing where I am these days, which makes me sad.
Anyone know of a supplier for such a thing that will ship in the continental US? Major preference to Black businesses.
(I refuse to use major exploitative stores on principle for this, so no Amazon/Walmart/Target/etc. recs, please.)
Boosts welcome.

@mordremoth I wonder how hard it is to make on your own? We've heard a lot about home pickling lately (one of the things that got somewhat popular during the first years of the covid pandemic), and it may be easier to get the right spices than to get the prepared pickles. The okra itself you may be able to find at an Indian grocery store, if you have any of those around you--it's used fairly commonly in Indian cuisine. And I figure you're more likely to have one of those than a Caribbean grocery (though that would also probably have it if you have one!)

@mordremoth That's fair! I hope you can find it, I know how it is wanting comfort food from your hometown and being unable to find it.

@Felthry It's very easy to make, but even so it requires far more spoons than I have at this point in my life, sadly.
