Tammie, try rubbing okra with olive oil and grill it. It is nothing like any way you've had it before. The offensive slimy nature disappears when its grilled. Woohoo ... I DO like asparagus! But it hast to be sautéed with a little olive oil, sprinkled parmesan-Romano cheese AND almond flakes. I never had okra ... must be a south of the border dish since the only people I know that talk about it ... live deep deep deep South. How about fried green tomatoes? I never tried them but I wouldn’t mind trying them. Eek so Okra is offensive and slimy?? Okay ... never mind I’m scratching that off my bucket list. :negative: I should have known ... anyone who likes gator and snake meat doesn’t mind slimy Okra. 🙁 Tammie, the corn bread and ham sounds great! :good: Ooh ... correction ... I googled what Okra taste like and it said “Okra has a mild, almost grassy flavor that is uniquely okra. While it's sometimes compared to the taste of eggplant or green beans ...” I LOVE eggplant but it hast to be fried ... dipped in flour and egg mixture first. So I think I might like Okra if I do the same and just add tomato sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. Yum! Heavenly fare will be far beyond what our human pallets enjoy....it will be tops over any of these suggestions....beyond our wildest dreams and memories of food. Horray! Bring it on!
