Each region of the this great nation has their favorite food: Cajun, BBQ, Seafood, Chinese, Tex-Mex , etc.
Here in Oklahoma BBQ, Steaks, and New Year's Day special meal of black eyed peas, onions, cornbread, and mustard greens are considered foods of passage.
Oklahoma has the best fried catfish on the planet.Almost every garden has plants of OKRA. I can handle the deep fried and crisp pickled OKRA. I cannot stand boiled OKRA. It is slimy and nasty. Some say bread or tomatoes will make it better. No way Jose!!!
Somewhere in God's Word there must be a verse that warns a person not to put anything in their mouth they cannot control!!!!!
To illustrate the point:A woman threw a large uneaten pan of boiled OKRA into the air for two dogs to eat. All of it went down one dog's mouth and throat. The lucky dog turn to the other done and asked, "Has she tossed anything yet???????????"
I served 22 years at a church in OK and the good folks there thought I was a bit off center by not eating boiled Okra. We should immediately start a research project to extract oil from boiled Okra. I just know it can be down!!!!!!!!!!!!
