It gets really slimey in liquid - as in soups. Sounds like those southern folk like it deep fried a lot. Or, as I like it (since I don't have much choice) is chopped fresh and sauted in a pan with butter and maybe a spice or two sprinkled on it. Or you can get it pickled. To me, they tasted just like regular pickles.

Seems like people either hate it or love it.

Mmmm...sounds nasty.
