Never knew that okra could be dangerous........

Another "Ohh no, we're right on the verge of a police state!" story.

I don't know whether the cops were 100% correct on this one, but even if not, I'm pretty sure that they're not anything like this story portrays them.

LOL, the one's who go so far to try to find and destroy this plant are the ones I think need it the most.

^^^^Really? And you believe this?

I think you might need a prescription dose of reality! LOL!!!

Deep fried okra is my drug. That and good BBQ.

You're talking about the nectar of the gods right there. Of course I love okra pickled or stewed with tomatoes, too.

Stewed, picked raw or fried, I put okra right up there with egg plant...slimy, mushy, a "not good for much" vegetable. But, if that's what you like, then more power to ya!

Personally, I prefer beets! That's a vegetable you can't beat! Roasted, pickled, or in a soup, beets are mmm-mmm good!

By the way, does anyone know where okra comes from?

...(wait for it)....

"Okrahoma" of course!!!!

Have a great day!

okra is awesome when its sliced, battered, and deep fried.

But then, what isn't awesome when its battered and deep fried?

Okra is right up there with Chitterlings for fine cuisine.
