nita, whatever you do, DON'T fry the okra. It turns into snot in the skillet. It's all right in soup.
Gawd, I wish I could delete this thread.

Nita--Don't fry, boil, nuke, bar-b-que, saute, grill, grow or buy okra!!!
I'm sorry Ouch!--and I am from 'possum eatin' country--but okra has the consistancy of furry snot and the flavor of grasshopper guts no matter what you do to it! (Except maybe pickling it...then it's not so much furry snot as furry boogers.)
I almost choked to death on boiled okra as a child and have made it my mission in life to save the unsuspecting from that most evil of demon vegetables...
Seriously Nita--you just don't want to even go there!

It sounds like okra is the zucchini of the south - anyone can grow it, everyone gives it away, no one actually eats it except when heavily disguised by processing and other ingredients.
Now, what were we talking about again?

Okra properly fried in corn meal is not the least bit slimy. It is not the fault of the vegetable if the cook ain't up to snuff.
L, you must have got hold of some bad possum meat to make you so mad at poor okra.

You mean rotted monkey heads, don't you?

OMG, I got here just in time!
Okra is great fried, but it's REAL beauty is in gumbo, stew or soup.
Boiled okra, however, is the work of the devil.

hey there say, rokjox...
wow--just what i always wanted to see:
an okra and brussel sprouts thread! ... ;) :)
(love both veggies, by the way)
say---this is a supertopo-super thread here...
has so much going for it:
MikeL gave a great foundation...
L caught on how to use the "system list"
Ouch flowed with the flow...
had a mini-thread-hijack, confessed-off by leb/lois...
dirtineye, appeared with garden expertise...
russ got his writer's awards, ;)
(one that nearly got smothered in okra):
I believe that Russ has now won two writing contest's.
and tarbuster had some great assessments on the whole thing...
and thus:
i must confess... what a wonderful way to end thanksgiving day:
i am VERY thankful to have found and settled, into ol' supertopo...
three cheers to ol' chris...
and god bless you all for keeping this "quilt" going strong...
