Okra

[gothwalk]

inannajones managed to find some okra in a supermarket here today. It's fresh. What do we do with it? I know it's usually eaten fried, but I suspect there's more to it than just throwing it on the pan, right?

Probably badly cooked - was it all slimy and sticky?

The sticky slime goes away after you boil it for a while longer, after which it's actually quite nice.

Dont really remember it has been a long long time, I just know I hated the taste.

Boiled okra tastes pretty much like asparagus, though some people don't like the texture. Neither okra nor asparagus are things that kids typically like...I did, but I'm weird.

I never liked brussel sprouts as a child but I do now with a bit of gravy, or buttered broccoli.. yummy!

Never had asparagus before.
