Everything you always suspected but could never
get confirmed by a reputable news source.

"The Shocking Truth About Okra!"

©1987, 2007 by Joe Hickman, editor and Doctor of Okra

It is a well-known fact that common garden
insects will NOT eat okra. Neither will uncommon
garden insects. That should tell you something.

Some say okra is a vegetable; others say it's a
fruit. Most people can't recall ever having said
anything at all about okra. Except possibly, "Are
those legless geckos sleeping near my mashed potatoes?"

Even people who don't eat okra may find it useful
-- for example, as a green plumb-bob for a vegetarian architect.

A pod of okra on a gold chain makes an excellent
conversation piece. You can tell everyone that's
it's an Elk's tooth -- with plaque.

Okra can be boiled, fried, steamed, or pickled.
But no matter what you do to it, it still tastes exactly like okra.
Remember, boiled okra is so slippery, you may
think you're swallowing little green oysters.

Consuming fried okra north of the Mason-Dixon
line is considered gastric perversion and may
lead close friends to refer to you as "magnolia breath."

You campers will be happy to hear that dried okra
makes great bio-degradable tent stakes.

Please beware of the Great Okra Swindle. Certain
unethical supermarkets are painting okra yellow
and attempting to sell it as miniature Peruvian
bananas. You can sure tell the difference in a banana pudding.

I think everyone should plant okra. :lol: You should plant it all the way around your corn just to keep the coons out. It is probably the only thing they didn't taste test. :wink:

You northerners just don't know what's good. Succulent, tender, okra is one of the sweeter pleasures in life. Enough to make a man shed a tear just thinking about it. It's pure as mothers milk and more desired than a mothers love.

I agree!!!!!!!!

My grandfather used to grow a huge garden and the only way he could get me to help is to plant okra. If I helped he would have grandma cook me some for supper. He doesn't plant a garden anymore but somehow always has a couple of wally world bags a week (during season) of okra waiting in the fridge at his house for me to take home. :D :D

Okra not only is one of the highest fiber foods, and tastes good too, the blooms make pretty flowers. :wink:

I like mine boiled with peas and/or butterbeans (Limas for the uneducated :lol: ) and extra slimey.

Cajuns (Coonasses) put okra and celery in most everything. One even told me he makes "Okra Jell-O". :???:

What about some good old fashioned Lutifisk with melted butter, or better yet some lefsa! :wink: Lutifisk can only be served when the wind is from the south. If you southerners got a good whiff of that stuff you would all want to move north. :lol: :lol: :lol:

You see this is the difference between the south and north. Ours are simple , easy to pronounce words. Okra, grits, corn, beans, but y'all come up with stuff like Lutifisk and Lefsa. I can't even say those words.

Okra is one of my favorites.
We always put plenty in with the peas. (Pink eyed purple hulls)
I seem to get accused of dipping out all the okra and others don't get any. Well they should but more okra in the peas.
White rice
Okra and peas
Thin cornbread dripping with buttermilk
A little hot pepper vinegar
And a big cold glass of tea.

As my mother would say, “It will knock you naked"

Buttermilk on cornbread....interesting

Not a big buttermilk fan but do love cornbread

No no no no no. You can put your corn bred in buttermilk and yes it is good but that is not what i ment.

When mixing the cornbred use buttermilk and lots of it.
