"Mmmmm....okra...."


If you ever had Okra the way my dear departed Grandmother use it fix it, you wouldn't be saying that. Rolled in a little cornmeal, salt and pepper to taste, fried up in a some bacon grease. Um mm umm good

Don't know if you are in the south, but almost every restaurant here serves fried Okra as you describe it. Grew up eating Okra prepared in every way you can imagine, but fried is still my fav. In fact. planning to have fried Okra for lunch today.

Sounds good!

I meant my "mmmmmm....." to be "the yummy sound." We just cut it in cross sections, flour and fry in about a half inch of oil in an iron frying pan until it's golden brown. Or we'd make pickles....50:50 water to vinegar with some salt and a whole cayenne pepper just to give it a little kick.

My dad liked okra pods added to butter beans...I donl't really like 'em that slimey.

Okra cut up in vegetable soup is good too.
