1. Yes. Yes it is.

So is fried, stewed, gumbo-ed...

I loves me some pickled okra!

[Shell Beau]

8. I love okra almost any which way! Mmmm.

Fried is my fave and then pickled. But all of it, even boiled.

[WeRQ4U]

2. Make me.

You're not the boss of me. :P

[Shell Beau]

11. You responded!!

[Hugin]

3. Boiled Okra... Not good.

Slimy mess.

[ET Awful]

4. Pickled okra is good, breaded/fried okra is good,

boiled okra is as nasty as pig snot.

[Kilroy003]

6. Mmmm.

Deep fried breaded okra!

Toss in some collard greens and you're good to go.

[ET Awful]

7. You forgot black-eyed peas with a hamhock

:)

[Kilroy003]

5. Okra is pretty good.

I just ate some raw carrots and celery direct from the garden.

Didn't even wash the dirt off first. Now that's good eats.

9. I like breaded and fried okra. nt

[Shell Beau]

10. That is a biggie in the South! Mmmmm!

[Lilyhoney]

12. I had never had it until I lived in Charleston, SC.

I also like collard and turnip greens.
I surprised myself by liking theese foods, since I am a potatoe eatting irish girl.

13. did you try boiled peanuts...

I just paid over $44 to get 5 lbs of ready to boil peanuts and 2 jars of green tomato relish sent to me from lee brothers peanuts (boiledpeanuts.com).

As a transplanted Floridian here in the wilds of Massachusetts, I need a southern food fix from time to time!

[Shell Beau]

15. Boiled peanuts are so good. They are addictive.

[trof]

35. Cajun Boiled. Make your own:

Add a few cups of Zatarain's Crab Boil to the water.

[IntravenousDemilo]

40. What do you do?

Do you just take some boiling water and throw peanuts into it? Shells on or off? And what exactly do boiled peanuts taste like, what's their consistency, etc?

[trof]

43. Use raw peanuts.

You can probably google for some recipes.
Fresh boiled peanuts are a little al dente.
They get mushy as they age.
Shells on.
Boiled in brine if you want salted.
Crab boil if you want spicy Cajun.

[Lilyhoney]

17. I know all about a food fix.

But, no on the peanuts. I don't do peanuts. But I did see people with their carts yelling out "boiled Peanuts".

I am in CA and rite now I am trying to get pizza from chicago. Wish me luck.

Enjoy your p-nuts.:hi:

[Shell Beau]

19. I hate all nuts just about. I don't like peanuts at all. That

is unless they are boiled. They don't even taste like peanuts. They are so good. Other than that, you will never catch me eating peanuts.

[Lilyhoney]

22. My husband likes pnuts

and so does my dog. I have to ask them both not to kiss me while eatting peanuts. I don't like the way they smell. I like them on my banana split and that is the only time I eat them.

[Shell Beau]

24. You should at least try one boiled peanut.

Peanuts do stink. I definitely agree with that.

[Lilyhoney]

41. I will try almost anything once.

So I would try a boiled peanut. Will you bring me some? :popcorn:

[Zhade]

44. Wow, that site rocks!

Thanks for the link - I've been thinking about southern food all day! (Floridian transplanted to SoCal.)

[GumboYaYa]

18. I made fried okra and fried green tomatoes with remoulade

last night for dinner. That's good stuff!!!

[Shell Beau]

27. Fried green tomatoes. Mmmmm! I think I

may have to make a trip to the store so I can make me some. I am craving them now! :9

[GumboYaYa]

39. They were really good.......

Mmmmm!

[enigmatic]

14. Okra is good eatin'..

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. All okra is good...

Mmmmmmmm...

The flowers are real purty too!

[khashka]

20. Pickled okra is not only good it is great!

Love it.

Khash.

[Shell Beau]

21. You are right. My word choice was not strong enough!!

:silly:

[trof]

23. You MUST be from Alabama.

Gotta be.
:hi:

[Shell Beau]

26. Close.....

Mississippi! :hi:

[trof]

29. Close enough. Hi, neighbor. A chunk of pickled okra in a Martini

is excellent!

[Shell Beau]

31. Good idea!

[Taverner]

25. Would I be guilty of blasphemy?

I usually mix okra in Jambalaya or steam it....

[Shell Beau]

30. No. Okra is good in many many things!

[Taverner]

33. It thickens up jambalaya reall good

And I'm going to try making Aligator Jambalaya next month...

[Shell Beau]

34. I would pass on the alligator kind, but good luck cooking it.

I hope it tastes good.

[Taverner]

36. Well I never had aligator before

And I have this recipe for Aligator and Crawfish Jambalaya...sounds good...

[Shell Beau]

37. Now crawfish jambalaya is yummy. But add in some gator

and I won't eat it. But a lot of Cajun's love it. It reminds me of "Waterboy" when his girlfriend goes to his house to eat.

[Zhade]

45. Alligator is kinda chewy, but not too bad.

Man, now I'm dreaming of all kinds of, er, "vittles". :D

[BikeWriter]

28. I love pickled okra with a good plate of beans and cornbread.

[Shell Beau]

32. This is making me super hungry. Mmmm!

[BikeWriter]

38. LOL! Yes'm, me too. :-)

[FLSurfer]

42. I have a grandma from North Texas

Cooks okra all the time. Pickles it too.
I've never eaten the pickled stuff.
At this minute I have some of her pickled peaches in the pantry.
Afraid to try them.
Anybody ever eaten them?
