Well, Kiri won't be there this year, unless we get lucky, but she cooks it
the way I do, and if you remind me, I'll cook it for you. Or, alternatively,
since we live so close, I can come over and let you try some.

My favorite okra dish in with fried okra and green tomatoes- might try that
for you, once this white crap goes back where it belongs.

And, one of the problems with okra is that people don't cook it properly. It
should be thoroughly cooked, whether fried to dryness, or cooked until it
totally dissolves. One of the secrets of a good gumbo is letting the okra
dissolve, to provide the thickening.

But, I do understand- it's not a popular taste/texture.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
