I agree... but if you want something truly disgusting, try Brussel Sprouts and Okra.

Interestingly enough, I love okra.

But Brussells sprouts are evil.

“... if you want something truly disgusting, try Brussel Sprouts and Okra.”

I can’t imagine. As a kid I’d puke on okra because of its sliminess.

Fried okra be very good stuff.

Ever had fried okra? Slice it in 1/2” sections, put a cup of corn meal and about three table spoons of flour in a bowl, coat the okra nicely with that mixture and fry in hot bacon grease with plenty of salt and pepper. I’ve never tried to mix it with brussels sprouts. I like the Indian way of making okra, too - whole okra pods, onions, curry, and diced tomatoes. MMMMMMM

Oooooh, and throw in some eggplant and beets!

Yuck!

Excellent when grilled, especially okra.

Okra is delicious when fried properly. Otherwise they are a slimy boogerfilled mess.

I make what I call “Popcorn Okra” and I cut it into small pieces, dredge the pieces a dry mix of 3/4 flour, 1/4 cornmeal, salt and pepper. Put in hot skillet (filled about 1/2 inch with grease) and fry till golden brown. Then drain on paper towel like usual with fried stuff.

Yummy and not slimy at all!
