Widder, SASS #59054 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 In the summer time, it don't get much better than fresh, fried Okra. Mmmmmmmmm good! ..........Widder
Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 What's an okra? Won't find that in a grocery store or a garden up here..... Or grits..... Or collard greens..... Or black-eyed peas.... But we do have rutabaga. LL
Jackson Rose, SASS #45478 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 That's about the only way I'll eat it. I like it fried, but it is good in gumbo too.

St. Louis Suomi SASS #31905 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Howdy: Fried Okra, Okra in Gumbo, Okra in soup, Okra Pickled - ALL are absolutely YUMM-OOO. AND rutabaga and turnips, two more delicious veggies (Taste kinda like a cabbage and with the consistency of a boiled or mashed potato) - a great combination of flavors. I think I will go to the kitchen and look for a snack - all this thinking of great food has made me hungry. :-) STL Suomi
Alpo Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Okra. Dat's some of the nastiest stuff on the face of the planet. I suppose that if I had been fed fried or pickled first, I might could stomach it. But when having been forced to eat that slimy boiled gunk, the fried and pickled have the same flavor, if not the texture, of the boiled, so it don't go in my mouth.
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 rutabagas rotten cabbage even the hogs won't eat that CB
Subdeacon Joe Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 rutabagas rotten cabbage even the hogs won't eat that CB Now wait a minute! That's either sauerkraut or kim-chee! And those are good eatin'!
Coyote Kincaid Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Funny story with okra. If I have fried okra on my plate, my dog will sit in my lap and oh so casually reach over and sneak a piece or two. I thought it was funny until one day she reached over and tried dragging my steak off while I wasn't looking. She is a shih tzu so she couldn't get far with it. Put some sugar in while you fry the okra is about the only way I eat it.
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 My mother used to fix fried okra covered in cornmeal. I could make a whole dinner out of just her fried okra. By the way. Who's this nefarious character from Mule Camp, 2007? I bet he'd steal the fried okra right off your plate!!

Hurricane Deck 100366 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 All the water Oklahoma has received in the last month has caused our Okra to go kaput. shame too, we usually get a bumper crop that feeds us through the fall and winter. We are planting again this weekend in the hopes of getting at least a few tasty morsels. Fried is the number one winner followed by pickled in our secret garlic brine. It's also fastastic in white fish gumbo. . . canned okra is like buying canned snot - there's no real reason to do it.
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 And fried up Channel Catfish! Some mustard/turnip greens! Real Hushpuppies!

I remember asking that feller what in the world he was doing, with such a serious look on his face. He said: "somebody down there amongst them camping trailers is fryin up some Okra and baked beans and I can smell it." Then he said: "ifn anyone starts lookin for Widder and Madd Mike, tell em we are socializing amongst the campers"....then he commenced to walk away with a smile on his face. True Story! ..........Widder

Cheatin Charlie Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I have eaten okra and grits once! I think they are illegal north of West Virginia
Clemsum Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Okra one of Gods blessings. It is great fried but love it boiled with Speckled Butter Beans and Fatback and with a piece of cornbread. Leftovers heat up good the next day also.

Moma used to fry fatback in a cast iron skillet, and serve it with pinto beans and other supper time goodies. I could eat that fried fatback as a snack, although it was alittle on the salty side, ifn ya know what I mean. ..........Widder

Panhandle Paladin Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Sow bosom, fried okry, pinto beans, and turnip or mustard greens, Now that there is some larrupin' good grazin'! Oops, cant forget the cornbread and jalepenos, never forget the cornbread!

Whenever someone raves about the glory of deep-fried vegetables, I have a sneaking suspicion that the glory lies in the breading and the fat, not the soft innards. LL

LL There could be some truth to that, but the secret is to use only fresh vegetables. Store bought or frozen doesn't have the same flavor. CBG
