I grew up eating okra...boiled and added to my Mom's codfish stew. Yes, it was slimy...and I still have memories of it sliding off of my fork...but I grew to appreciate it.

As I have gotten older, I have tried it fried...and enjoyed it. (Frying makes almost anything taste good).

I served some to my family over the weekend (boiled), and they started to gag. In fact, both spouse and child have threatened to leave if it ever appears again.

So okra....love it or hate it?
