How about OKRA? My wife says it is a “super food”. It will grow when nothing else will and produce when everything else in the garden is shriveled to straw in the hottest, driest part of summer. You can bol it, bake it, fry it, pickle it or just eat it raw if you dare. Aside from all of these merits I read that it has almost no nutritional value as it has almost no calories. Great stuff, sort of like a false banana. I suppose you could also make porridge out of OKRA but I never tried that.

Yes. And that's called gumbo

If you aren't Canadian, you can go to Cracker Barrel and order fried okra. Good eatin'.

It’s called stewed Okra and I love it.
