>how do you prepare and eat it?

>>16626002
you can tempura fry okra

>>16626002
It's used in the vietnamese sour soup.

>>16626002
It's based when pickled, I like them with barbecue

>>16626002
shitty taste, shitty texture. all shit, everything.

you cut it up, bread em, and fry em
or dont cut em up, stuff it with cheese, then fry it.

or put some in a soup you are making from scratch. thats about it.

>>16626126
The only answer.

>>16626126
That's true. If I don't eat them all out of the jar I slice them on a sharp bias and put them on anything I'd use regular pickles for.

I was outside eating fried okra
With who, you might ask?
With Oprah.

>>16627120
this isnt reddit buddy

Either: >>16626126
Or put them in soups as a thickener

>>16626002
I have several jars of pickled okra and I absolutely LOVE fried okra.

Its good in gumbo.

>>16626126
This is the jar I have in my pantry.

Is that the ingredient that smells like feet when cooked and tastes like snot when eaten?

>>16626002
it's a weed left for the slaves to harvest for themselves

Fried obviously. With a side of ranch to dip in.

>>16626002
I think it's pretty good raw, fresh off the plant. But I doubt most people would agree. It's also great battered and fried, or pickled, or stewed, though if you don't like sliminess you probably won't like it stewed.

>>16626002
my grandad's a hardass southerner who served in the war, and he loves this shit
I pickled like 3 jars of it for him. he loves eating it right outta there

>>16626002
Sliced and mixed with natto and mentsuyu

>>16626024
Its slimey when u stir fry em tho, still delicious

>>16626002
I like it grilled with some salt

>>16627670
Had me until ranch. Good fried okra stands alone.

>>16627681
Even jerkied okra is slimy. I suppose it's inseparable part of the okra experience.

>eating little hairy stringy slimy dicks
no, thanks.
everyone in my extended family loves it so it's guaranteed to be made a few times a month.
everyone but myself and my dad.

This snot bowl does not appeal to 99% of us.
You are the 1%

>>16626002
The best okra I have had was made by pajeets. The worst Okra I have had was fried okra at Lambert's Cafe in Springfield MO I was dragged to by some friends.

>>16626002
Daily reminder:
>okra is not food
>broccoli is not food
>cauliflower is not food
>kale is not food
>bok choy is not food
These are LAWN WEEDS and unfit for human consumption.

>>16627709
That looks absolutely putrid.

>>16627709
I was in this thread thinking about how great okra is and how I like every preparation of it I can think of and yet here you are disgusting me

>>16627709
should’ve thrown in a raw egg to really get people going on here. thanks for reminding me to eat a pack of natto

>>16626002
You need SOUL to cook okra, cracker.

>>16626002
Get baby okra, not the large commonly sold type, look around and you'll find the smaller type. Think of baking chunks of different chicken parts in a tomato onion type sauce and baby okra, again don't do it with the big shit type okra commonly sold in US supermarkets, find the little small type.

>>16626002
it's got a slimy muselage which is good for thickening sauces, goes good on cajun food and vegetable stews.

>>16627709
i love eating my own snot and i really want to try this.

>>16629951
>>broccoli is not food
>>cauliflower is not food
>>kale is not food
They're genetically identical to cabbage.

>>16629951
what is food in your opinion then?

>>16630239
Manga meat

>>16626002
They are tasty when tempura fried, but at their peak when used in gumbo.

>>16630239
Cabbage

Many anons have correctly said fried, but honestly, they are great wrapped in tin foil with butter salt and pepper on the grill while you're cooking other stuff.

i don't normally like tabasco sauce that much, but it's so fucking incredible on fried okra it's unreal

>>16626041
horrible soup do not attempt

cut in circles, dry them out over night and just fry in oil for some great fried okro(indo-caribbean)
also really good as a provision in soups, the little seeds make the soup feel thicker without drying it out.

>>16626031
Chop it up, bread it in corn meal and fry it.

>>16626126
I'm saving this for later. I already love pickles but I've never tried okra. I hope my mind will be blown.

Imagine not liking Okra. Plebs.

>>16627709
I love okra but that looks vile.
