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?
I've actually a very late taste in my life of Okra. Seems like a very nice vegetable addition to my cuisine. Don't know why someone would find it disgusting in anyway. I enjoy it very much, in whatever condition it is served. Although I would prefer it to be served at intervals, so it doesn't get old. The only vegetables that I can consume daily are cucumbers and tomatoes
