What are your opinions on okra/bamies?

[knicks_fan87]

I personally don't love okra, but when its cooked right it can be so tasty! For reference to those of you who haven't tried it, its a vegetable that has a slimy texture and is cooked in a red sauce, which is mainly the reason people don't like it.

I wouldn't touch them like that (I generally don't like okra), but my wife bakes them in a tomato sauce with chicken... It's pretty good!

Pickled okra is really good btw, and they have a crunch to them when you pickle them.

Very beneficial for intestinal clearance and detoxification, for sure.......mum used to make a lot in Nairobi, Kenya where I was born... Kalley Mera from Thailand.

Okra is really delicious when cooked Greek style, but it has to be done right. It can't be overcooked or else it gets really slimy.
