SC - Okra

[Cathy Harding]

Good Evening all,
A qustion came up after dinner tonight.  Where does okra originate?   Would
it have been available or used in the area which is now armenia or other
parts of the middle east prior to 1600?  Does anyone have references to it
in period recipes?

We have looked in the Andalusian  recipes in the Miscellany, and did not
find it.
