Back in the mess hall on MCRD San Diego the cook had a way with battered fried okra, it was a favorite.
Somehow he was able to fry away most of the sliminess or something. Never have found an edible batch since,
wife calls it boogers. BTW I taught her to make a killer Jambalaya, at least I like it.

Turning the slim into a sweet brownish tar like substance. Battered or not. That is the ultimate way to prep okra. Baking it will do the same thing. Dehydrate the snot. I am thinking the the dehydrated caramelized snot would appeal to Pat ? Pat ? Boiled okra does have slim on it resembling the slim in Ghost Busters. Maybe it could be used in warfare. Like dropped from airplanes. Anyway, okra slime is a popular conversation piece in these parts as Ed may attest. The conversation seems to keep New Yorkers away. LOL Perhaps okra is obnoxious, notice the deer eat everything in the garden and often leave the okra alone. And they will eat saw briars. a hint |

[/quote] What a delightful description to see first thing in the morning! Yuck! jamesp you have to do something about what you call it. Does not appeal! No matter what you do with snot, it is still snot and not for me. Try again!

you can take the small ones, really tender, and cut off both ends then batter them in egg/flour/whateverish and pan fry them with a little bit of oil MELIKEYMOARVIRGIN and it turns out really well and not slimy at all. I don't like the slime either, but there are ways to get around it.
By the way...I have it on good authority that 10 out of 10 fire ants prefer okra!!!
Not sure why the accent is so bad on the recording. I'm actually afraid that it is not modified in any way and is just that &#%@ countrified... *sighs mightily*

Microphones twist/magnify the accent ?? Not all of us have a Michael Buffer accent. |

Thinking it has to have eyes or gizzards Lol, although tecnically hamburgers started out as part of an animal with eyes and hot dogs are lips and butt hole parts, or so my dad always told me. I'm surprised @shotgunner hasn't commented about his eating habits. |

Down here on the swamps of south Louisiana, we eat roadkill.
Okra slime is a delicacy and it makes a great facial mask.
Nothing goes to waste at a Bouterie-cajun pig roast. All parts of the pig are prepared in some manner down to blood sausage.
Food is the center of all social-family-gathering events. There are Festivals practically every weekend-most named after food.

I've always been told that if they, insertnamehere, were ever able to figure out how to put the squeal in a bottle they, again insertnamehere, would sell that as well. Processing hogs from the rooter to the tooter, waste not want not...just sayin.

A hundred years ago me and the wife along with a small group were eating dinner in a communal village in France, just north of Monte Carlo (just happen to work out where we were blessed to be able to take this trip). The entire village worked at the restaurant...from young kids busing tables to grannies cooking in the back. As we're eating this older, rather happy guy (they made their own wine) was walking among the diners with a long stick of meat and an equally long knife. He would start at his side with the knife, swing it into the stick of meat and deliver a paper thin slice of meat on the knife to the waiting diner. He came through several times with different meats (never knowing what was what). The last time (the homemade wine was loosening everyone up by then) we asked what type of meat it was...he hung his head down towards the table and stuck out his tongue at us!!!! What the hey...it was pretty good.  The salad that they served simply was whole vegetables in a big bowl in the center of the table and we would tear/cut off whatever we wanted. At the end of the meal (young homemade wine)we were all yacking away when someone tilted the big bowl over and looked in the bottom....all kinds of bugs crawling around in there....I guess they served organic vegetables.<grin> FWIW. |
