Do you like Okra?

OSD · Postby **OSD** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 2:44 pm

We use Okra in stew, soups, and a few other dishes. I like to cut it into 1/2" pinwheels, bread it and deep fry it when we are having a fish fry.

I was wondering because I hear people say all the time they wouldn't eat Okra. :dont:

They say it's too slimy. :roll:

I just figured they didn't know how to clean or cook it right.

I can take it or leave it. If it is fried right, the breading stays on, and is still hot, then it is OK. Pickled Okra is OK.

I don't miss it though if I haven't had any in a long time.

I like okra fried and in my gumbo. Can't say I have ever had it pickled, but I'd try it at least ONCE.

I like it pickled and fried, not boiled.
Real good fried with coarse cut red tators, onions and dusted with corn meal and seasoning.

Have to back up on the boiled part, I always put it in gumbo.

On the shelf in the pickle aisle, you will find it in a jar.

The only way I like okra is once in a blue moon I will eat it fried from Chicken Express.

Mom used to boil it when I was a kid. Reminded me of a slimey booger... :oops:

The only thing I don't like about okra is how it tears up your hands when you pick it.
I'll eat it anyway ya wanna fix it.
