She knows I can't abide okra, but thought this write up might encourage me to try it again. My very first post on my blog is about okra. I didn't make it look as good as you have.<BR/><BR/>You make it look almost palatable!<BR/><BR/>Almost. LOL<BR/><BR/>I tried okra for the first time (and last, I'm afraid) when I visited Oklahoma when I was 18. It was boiled. And that's all.<BR/><BR/>Now my choice of threat is, "If you continue in this line, I will serve boiled okra for dinner!"<BR/><BR/>My children and husband have never had okra, so they assume my threat must be a terrible one. What an interesting thing if one of my children were to marry someone from the south. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-1157315046207904552006-09-03T15:24:00.000-05:002006-09-03T15:24:00.000-05:00Yum indeed!

I stared at it awhile and then had to tell him it wasn't worth me buying it...my family won't eat it. <BR/><BR/>I guess my Southern genes were not strong enough to overcome their father's Nordic heritage so there is no appreciation for okra or catfish. They do like fried chicken.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the instructions, though. I may just have to buy some for me next week. :)Brenda@CoffeeTeaBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719695370857675146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-1157236553948705002006-09-02T17:35:00.000-05:002006-09-02T17:35:00.000-05:00I've only had fried okra once, but I loved it.

I tried and tried as a new wife to fix fried fresh okra, but I could never get the cornmeal to stick. (I always thought I didn't have the oil hot enough.) Never thought about trying the eggs on it! I'm going to try that soon.

And, I hated being sent out to cut the okra off the plant. It bit back. But, I sure do love fried okra, sliced tomatoes, green onions, and black eyed pea salad...and iced tea.

A family friend came to visit and asked if we had ever tried it. When she found out we hadn't, we proceeded to purchase, prepare, and fry some.
