You can pull the okra out of my dead clasping hands!!!!

[lunabee34]

It will slide right out in one slimy wad. LOL

Srsly though, I do like okra fried and pickled but not really any other way. It just gets so gelatinous to me.

[cathexys]

I make it sauteed and it doesn't get slimy (you've gotta have fairly hot oil and it needs to be dry).

But really, I love it in gumbo, so the slimy doesn't seem to bother me. We LOVE okra (though the boys had to pick it last summer at their grandparents, and they complained so much :) I love them having to work for their supper!!!

And fried okra is the best!!! (As are fried pickles. And pickled okra. And... :)

I love okra too -- doesn't matter if it's a little slimy; it does need to be cooked all the way through, though.

[cathexys]

Yes, it's like long beans to me that way. Must be cooked, shouldn't be overcooked. (OK, I'll take mushy slimy okra over mushy beans :)

Look at the Germans overwhelming the Southerner's okra dislike :)

hahahhahhahhahahha!

I am a shame to my people.

OMG yes. My dad always grows okra, and it stings like hell to pick it.

I love the way my dad fries okra. He doesn't make a batter, he just dusts it lightly in cornmeal and pan fries it in a small amount of oil. It's really good and mostly tastes like okra instead of the thick batter you get at restaurants.
