Do you like Okra?

[Sloaf]

Wow, deja vu. I swear I've had this conversation before, but maybe I just didn't hit REPLY.

I do love okra, but I rarely cook with it myself. Fried okra is my #1 favorite BBQ side dish. Can't get enough! A diner down the street also serves stewed with tomatoes, that's pretty good. Gumbo's the only thing I cook with it myself, and haven't done that in a long while.

Anyone care to share or point me to your favorite fried okra recipe?

[OSD]

I put a recipe in the recipe section that I use for frying Okra.

Well I was raised on okry in all its various incarnations and am here to testify for fried okry the prebreaded and frozen Stillwell brand is very hard to surpass. We aint used no fresh okry in years.

I love okra anyway it's fixed. My DIL just bakes 'em whole with salt, pepper and butter very good.

[Big Mike]

I love okra.

A word of warning though. When frying okra, do not get "distracted" by your wife, or the kitchen may catch on fire.

[Papa Tom]

Experience talking?????????

[Big Mike]

Ummm yeah. Melted the range hood, turned all the walls black.
