Have you had okra or lady finger?

Yep I have. But I would have to say my favorite is fried okra.

I know ladies finger. I am not a fan of it. My mom makes a dish of it in coconut milk and I like it. My favorite ladies finger dish is stuffed ladies finger. I had it once from a resturant and it was very good. I downloaded the recipe of it from internet, got all the ingredients including corn flour, and tried making it, but it was a big flop. One of my colleagues wife makes it very well.

Really, I didn't know that. Thanks for the information. I do have digestion problems, sometimes I go to the CR once every 3 days. I will buy okra later and sure thing it will be my supper.

Yes I have, but I don't buy or eat okra often because my Husband don't like it! I like it steamed or cooked in tomato sauce with beef, actually, I've got this recipe from a friend here in Egypt and it's yummy.

I live in the southern part of the United States and okra is a very popular vegetable here. There are even a few festivals for the okra. it is often deep fried after coating with corn meal. I have made pickles with them in the past. They are also often added to a dish called gumbo.

Yes, of course, i do and i love okra. I love it steamed and just like you, we usually eat it dipped in soy sauce with kalamansi. But i like to share something i learned about okra from my step-daughter. There was a time in her high school days that they were asked to do or cook something as their project. They sliced okra into two, then remove the seeds in it. Then they put some corned beef on and they fried it. Yummy. And that's another way to cook and eat okra. You can then dip it in catsup or gravvy.

HI sandymay16 oh I love okra, in soup or just as a veggies,
and love it breaded and fried too. They are very nutritious
and good for you too. I used to buy the frozen ones when
I still had my own apartment. They were definitely a
favorite of mine.

You're right, Sandymay, it is pretty yucky and slimy, but when cooked properly, the slimyness (spelling?) can be hidden and the taste enjoyed.
My favorite recipe is to fry okra along with coconut grating.
My mom also used to prepare an okra curry - I still haven't figured out how it was made, but I do know it was quite delicious.
I guess in this case, appearances can literally be deceptive, huh?

On it's own, no.

But in fried form... HELL YEAH!!!

Fried okra was one of my favorite Sunday foods that I always looked forward to eating. I even eat that at all-you-can-eat restaurants like Ryan's or Golden Corral. Because of the crunchy crispiness and saltiness on the outside, flavorness and juiciness and on the inside, I can't get enough of the stuff on Sunday! I just gobble it all up while savoring every crunch of it!

To be frank, One of my hate ful vegetable is ladies fingers..

I have no idea. I don't get any taste out of it..

And the mucus like nature of it makes me ever more hateful

My favorite vegetable is Biter gourd or u say bitter melon..
