No, actually the bulk of the pots are made specifically for Jambalaya, Cracklins, and Chili. The sugar mill pots are huge and if you found one now you couldn't afford it. Makes you cry the rich folks want their antebellum flower pots and actually drill holes in them and once drilled can never be fixed. Loads of stores in the area actually have pots they rent/lease to the cooks. In the olden days the pots that cracked from use were set out for all to see. Like a dead anchor being dragged around your neck. Usually either one of plantation owners home would claim it or the mill would. Either way if there was no pots in the yard you knew the mill manager knew what he was doing.
Where we are, there is no syrup production is nearly all sugar, now in Washington parrish they grow a cane specifically for syrup called Blue Ribbon Cane, that is where Steen's is made. The Sugar mills now are nothing like they were when I was a kid, its all electronic digital computerized instrumentation. Heck they don't even cut the cane the same, don't get me wrong its an improvement. But where there used to be 15 small sugar mills, today there is only one. Less trucks on the highway, less road damage, less people needed to harvest transport and refine.
There are some really beautiful old pots around, nearly all full of plants.
I need to reset my babble switch this afternoon.
