Love FRIED okra. The slimy stuff not so much.
Don't care for zucchini...it squeaks when you chew it. :shock:
Me, too, and yet I love pickles.
Which brings us around to all of us (and I know I'm not alone, even in this crowd) who love tomato-based stuff but not tomatoes. The only tomatoes I like are roasted cherry tomatoes.
I used to eat fried okra until I realized I was only eating the fried, and not the okra. Same with fried chicken livers.

That stuff is G to the R to the O to the double S.
20-odd years ago when I was a fresh-faced Yankee just moved down to Atlanta, my co-workers got wind of all the Southern food I had never even heard of, much less eaten.
Okra with stewed tomatoes was on the cafeteria menu and they all made me order it and sat around the table gawking at me as a I took my first bite.
You never heard so much laughing. They couldn't stop. They told me it was delicious and sweet and I'd love it. NOT! (Talk about being set up.)
What's up with the coconut bashing?
I love a mounds candy bar and during the Holidays I make coconut butter cookies and ambrosia. I can eat coconut by itself, but it is much better mixed with something else. Y'all don't know what you're missing.![]()
