Not here or not much but always a large display at the grocery. Are we missing something?

Rep Power: 2 | We have it here by the bushels, pound, fresh, frozen, breaded, in gumbo, and with tomatoes. I like it any way it is fixed, now the wife on the other hand likes it breaded and fried only. I think it is good, but if it is not cooked right it is slimey.

Rep Power: 1 | I couldn't bring myself to touch anything that had okra in it. Slimey.
Speaking of Indian cooking, I recently borrowed Padma Lakshmi's new cookbook "Tangy Tart Hot & Sweet" from the library. I didn't find one recipe in it that I liked. (Factoid: Did you know she's married to but estranged from Salman Rushdie? Talk about beauty and the beast.) I used to enjoy her show on the Food Network several years ago.

Rep Power: 10 | Think that must have been on before we got FN out here. I don't care for Indian food, or I should say some curry. Daughter had me try one curry that she use that was really good. It's not all the same.

Rep Power: 2 | My grandmother has always put okra in Brunswick Stew. I'll eat it, but it's not something that I particularly love. I can take it or leave it. | |

The episode of Good Eats "Okraphobia" so funny when Alton deals with the slime issue.  | |
