rofl rofl your hilarious!.!.!.and i agree with you !.!.wow never thought anyone thought about this lolzWww@FoodAQ@Com

LOL!!! LOL!! Okra IS just wrong!. I have tried so hard to like it but just like you find it to be slimy, vile and just plain yucky!!

I have been told though that when it is slimy it is because it wasn't prepared correctly so I have yet to have it prepared correctly is the problem!.

I like most foods and love veggies so if there is one or two that don't make the cut so be it! ;-)

thanks for the laugh!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Ok - if cooked properly okra should not be slimey! The proper (indian) way of cookeing it is to chop it up and soke it in water for half an hour!. While the okra is soaking, fry some onions, chilly, garlic, ginger and cumin in some olive oil!. Then add some chopped tomatoes and salt!. Once it has turned to a spicy paste add the okra and let it simmer in the paste!. Add water every now and then to prevent it from going too dry!.

The okra should NOT BE SLIMEY AT ALL - it should be a lovely favoursome vege curryWww@FoodAQ@Com

I've only had it in soups, and I don't mind it at all!. I bought some seed to plant okra in my garden this year, but with all of the flooding in Iowa, our garden is about 3 inches under water right now, so I'm pretty sure I won't be able to plant it this year!.

But I have to admit that ya'll have me a little nervous about it being slimey!Www@FoodAQ@Com

eWw ! i HATE okra!.
but every thanksgiving my grandmother makes it and my mom makes me eat it (so i don't hurt her feelings) buts i just find it repulsive!.

its like eating slime and it makes me want to throw up!. but i just spit it back out i my napkin and no one can even tell

not even the dogs will eat it!.=/Www@FoodAQ@Com

The first time it it was just plain old boiled ,Not to be impolite I swallow it whole!. I t is good fried with cornmeal!. That is fine if there is nothing else in the world to eat!. Eggplant falls into the same category as a useless vegetable unless you disguise it isn't worth eating!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Being raised in the south (South-East Arkansas) I love okra! Fried, pickled,and in vegetable soup!. As a matter of fact, at my school, I was the only one who eat my okra whole!. Everyone else just peeled the crunchy fried breading off the outside and eat it!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Have you tried them battered and fried,
Have in Gumbo, you have tried!?
Have you tried smothered in sauce
Eat you Okra, it's the BOSS!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I love eating raw okra just pick of the plant!. Its great!. I will not eat it boiled!. I grow orka, and eat it fresh, to prevent it from being slimey, you soak it in white viniger!. Its so good for the human body!. Its different fresh from the plant!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Okra is my family's favorite veggie!.
Besides stewed okra, or in soup, we love eating it raw with sour cream dip or hummus!.

Our Walmart has Fried Okra at the hot deli-$1!.50 a pound-now that's a great bargain!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Okra is one thing my family agrees on!. It is great!. The fresh is the best, but frozen will do!. If you don't like it stay away from it, but you asked!. And there are definitely people who LOVE it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it's very good in chicken gumbo and it is very good deep fried with corn meal breading i really love it and it can bring up the white blood cell count if ya need it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's yummy deep fried and in veggie soup, but gross steamed!. You need Okra to make
Vegan Gumbo :-P
