Okra is amazing. You never really know the greatest of it, unless you're in the south and grow up with it.

Fried okra alone with some ranch? Amazing

Okra with your fried steak and mash potatoes? Amazing

Okra with a side of hush puppies and cottage cheese? Amazing

So many options really. Throw it in the oven for a great snack. Healthy all around. Believe in Okra. It's here to save the planet and I'm here for it.

Counterpoint: one piece of slimy okra from someone who didn’t know how to cook it will turn you off to it forever (in my case at least)

You can't. It's always disgusting.

It's a staple vegetable in Asia. Not its fault you never tried it cooked correctly.
