It did really well in the garden last year but this northerner doesn't know what to do with this stuff besides pickling them. So if I want to go out to the garden and pick some Okra what do I do with it? Just fry it up? |

Fried. It is also good with potatoes and onion. Fried cut thin with cornmeal coating. The onions and potatoes just make it better. Cutting thin takes all the slimyness out of it. Down here in the south they pickle it. Although personally I don't care for that. |

What is okra good for?
You either fry it (not for me except rarely, heart healthy diet and all,) or you sauté it, or you use it to thicken soups or stews, and then you shove it right not that big hole in the middle of your face, that's what you do with it. Mind you, it is rare to encounter it in restaurants here, as okra was never part of traditional NOLA cuisine, but you can get it at some grocery stores. |

Best shit out there. Does ok in gumbo if you like it stewed which I was born and raised in Texas so that is out and only fried is in. Although if you eat to much then you find out that it is pretty much pure fiber real quick. |

It's a nice thickening agent for soups, if you have a need for such things.
Fried is about the only way I like it. |

If you boil it down into a sludge, it can probably be used as a temporary fix if you need some wheel bearing grease.

I did have a certain ambivalence to okra growing up, partially fueled by visits to my great-grandfather's farm during the years when the only crop that did well enough to provide enough surplus above sales was........okra. (And his pecan trees.) So I've been through menus which included a breakfast of fried okra, with a side of pickled okra and a side of sautéed okra, with pecans for dessert, a lunch of pecans with a side of pickled okra, and a supper of sautéed okra, with a side of fried okra, a side of pecans, and a dessert of pickled okra. |

Shrimp and okra gumbo is one of my favorites.
However it's pretty difficult to make well; even most of the restaurants around here can't even master it so I just leave it up to my grandmother |

But here, for reasons I cannot explain, tons of people make gumbo without a share of okra in it. It's weird. And I mean, the phenomenon is weird, not the gumbo----I'm talking about folks that make good gumbo, just without okra in it. |

I add the diced onion 3 minutes before the end. They get salt and paper towels when the come out of the pan. |
