Sophie says... NO!

Since stuffing the ballot box with the dearly departed seems to be accepted...

The incomparable Sophie the basset wouldn't touch okra. It was one of the few vegetables that she would absolutely reject. A little bowl of my mother's gumbo would be licked clean with the okra slices (also licked clean) left in the bottom of the bowl.

Okra is Delicious. I've always loved it.

Try putting a pocket-slit length wise, stuffed with fish paste (I think it's finely blended fish, salt and a little starch). Then you Boil it in stock.

DELICIOUS

Do not expect INTJs to actually care about how you view them. They already know that they are arrogant bastards with a morbid sense of humor. Telling them the obvious accomplishes nothing.

Most expubidantly (that's yes).

A perfect meal:

Okay, I gotta know... What's on the sandwich?

Cole slaw and hot sauce, of course. What else do you put on a barbecue sandwich? :raz:

Only because he's right and you're wrong. :laugh: I'm not sure I would apply "mucilaginalicious" to natto, though. :huh:

At least you and bergerka agree. :wub:

Have the ferrets ever tried okra? I'll be they'd look adorable holding it in their little paws, turning it around and trying to figure out what to do with it.

Pickled = :wub:

Raw = :wub:

Stewed/Gumbo = :wub::wub:

Fried = :wub::wub::wub:

Have I left anything out?

:laugh:

P.S. Wazzup with all these people downing offal at every opportunity but who won't eat okra? :blink:

P.P.S. Saute sliced okra in a bit of oil and all the mucilage disappears magically. Okra and tomatoes prepared this way is delicious and mucilage-free :smile:

Judging from the ferrets' taste, I'd think they'd look at us like we were crazy and then roll it around with their noses for a while and then dump it in the litter box. :biggrin:

Ok, I'm sorry, I know de gustibus non disputandem est, but the idea of okra AND fish paste makes me want to hurl. Slimy PLUS fishy? :blink:

Yes, indeed. Steamed and served with butter and salt.

Thanks for the suggestion! I shall have it this weekend and report back on its wubbiness.
