okra tip disliked foods

[Guest guest]

Let me give you a hint on the okra. If you wash the fresh okra.....then, and

this is very important....DO NOT CUT

INTO THE POD OR CUT THE CAP OFF.......then steam or cook in just a small

amount of water, you will have no slime at all. It is the cutting into the pod

or taking the cap off that releases that part of the okra that is so valued in a

good

Cajun gumbo. I love to take the fresh pods and steam them.....then dip them

in melted butter......they are not slimey at all.

Of course, our most favorite way to eat okra is to cut it into slices about

1/2 " thick, pour a beaten egg over the slices, then coat them with a mixture of

flour and yellow cornmeal.....then fry until crispy and brown. Yum.....better

than popcorn.

Mangos and papyas. Blech. Not totally wild about kiwi or star fruit. Boiled

okra YUK - kind of like eating slugs.

 

*shudder* Think I'll go get a glass of spicy gingerale.
