I love pickled okra, but I’m not a fan of slimy stewed okra.Okra, which I despise to this day. Mom was a teacher and Step Father a principal, so not much money for four kids and they had a garden. In that garden were giant high producing Okra plants, which I tried so hard to kill with paint thinner (didn't work). We had Okra, Rice and Sausage constantly that summer. I want to hurl just thinking about it.
