Thank you very very much. I think lYnda is really picking on me about the Okra. It is incredible. Boiled it just slides and slithers down your throat, fried it is a crunchy delight, boiled with tomatoes and a bit of tobasco it is a spicy delight, and my new personal favorite -- raw - it is an explosion of flavor that tantalizes the taste buds.

I LOVE OKRA!!!!!

I can pick fast but a slow sheller.
I was married into a family of farmers and we did a lot of picking and shelling. Not sorry that I divorced him but sure miss those good times.

OK - stop it!! You guys are making my mouth water.

I am so hungry for an okra fix. I love it sauteed. I have never had it deep fried but I am sure I would like that.

Cindy - if you want to get folks to try it, you simply cannot use the description of it sliding and slithering around. That makes it sound like a worm!

Yorkie Luv... I am so jealous that you get to grow so much of it that I'm turning green as the stuff itself. Shelling peas? Don't know how fast I'd be at that but I know I can be pretty fast eating them.

LOL. Basically, yes.

Some wonderful okra fairy heard our cries of despair and flew in and opened it up.

Now if she could only drop a huge box of it in my yard...

I had fried okra and home grown tomatoes tonight for dinner. MMMMMMM

I also had fresh cream peas, squash and watermelon - but the OKRA was the BEST!!!

erickajm · 06-16-2008, 10:22 PM

ok....I just skipped through..I don't know 20 some pages..so couldn't tell you if half the questions were answered but just to let you yankees..ahem, northerners know..you can find pickled okra at the super Wal marts...can't seem to find them in too many other places..

And just to confirm....Okra is still YUMMY!!

omega · 06-17-2008, 07:56 PM

Is it any good from Wal-Mart? I would think if it was frozen it would be kind of squishy inside, wouldn't it?

I have to go there soon - I will look for it. I suppose frozen is better than none????

I would really like some fresh still.

What a FEAST! and a healthy one to boot!

Love it pickled also, with a slice of deli ham spread with cream cheese and roll the okra up in it and eat, it is so good.
