"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Interesting. I like stuffed bell peppers. I guess it's sort of the same principle, only not cooked.I like to use green peppers but red or yellow peppers could be used. Then you cut the thing into four slices, like bread and fill it with ham, cheese, or nuts. It makes a pretty good snack!
So, is it not slimy if it is fried?It's delicious fried, but fried foods aren't good for me, so I seldom have fried okra.

What I wanna know is how many of the okra-hating people are Southerners. Gumbo, stewed okra with shrimp, fried okra, and yes even boiled okra, are some of my absolute favorite dishes. I'm shocked to see it's got a 48% hate-rate. I was sure that would be asparagus!

I am not a Southerner. My daughter and I were shopping once and she wanted to know what okra was, so I bought some so she could try it. She took ONE bite. For some reason she lost interest after that.
So, did I cook it wrong? (I boiled it) Is there a way to cook it where it isn't slimy?

I'll give you a pass. Even my aunt is just starting to like okra after 58 years. Strange that she nevertheless cooks some of the best stewed okra on the planet.I am not a Southerner.

I'm not much of a cook. Stewed okra is stir fried on the stovetop in a cast iron skillet until the diced okra, spicy tomatoes, shrimp, ham, onions, etc. sweats down into a dry stew. It's still a little slimy.
Fried okra is battered and deep fried. It's not so slimy at all but it's only good hot and fresh.
OK, here is my BAD list:
Peas, Lima Beans, Squash, and radishes. I'll eat pretty much everything else, but I do demand that an animal die for my every meal.
Thx Mr Mannn, now I'm gonna have a guilt trip every time I look at a cheeseburger!

Okay CLJ--thanks for explaining

You forgots spinach! I hates spinach.

I didn't even have to think about this one. Brussels sprouts are the worse in my book.

Yes, I DID forget spinach! Popeye would be sorely disappointed in us both!
