I like pickled okra, fried okra, boled okra, okra in stews. I always hated pimento cheese until I tried it at a restaurant in Colombia SC about a block or two from the University , a locally owned family restaurant, I felt pressured into trying it and don't regret it. The home made peta chips are the bomb. I go there when I get the chance to.

I don't know why that made me think of it. Maybe it was the chips.

I love hummus. We been making s lot lately. How's that commercial go? Put Sabra on a leather shoe and I would eat it.

Yep. I've only had it sliced, breaded (cornmeal?) and fried in a skillet. The thinner the slices, the less chance of slime. Loved it.

My daughter in law was telling me something about not adding water but to cook it in oil? That water caused the slime. At this point okra isn't anything I want to add to my repertoire. I'll stick with steaks and blue cheese.

I was putting the southern twang on it. Poke sallet is poisonous. Not sure how actually eating it caught on.

polk has to be picked early, gotta get it before the stalk starts to turn dark. it can have white berries, maybe a few that have started to turn green, once they're over half green, too old. never pick polk leaves from a plant with a purple stem or berries.
then you have to cook it for about 3 hours, which breaks down most anything in it. i've eaten enough of it when i was a kid to kill me if it was going to.....and would again, if i wasn't too damn lazy to go pick it.

Boil it three times to remove toxins.

I then roll it like a cigarette and dip in cornmeal then fry.

This constant petulance does nothing to mask your crush on me. I'm still not coming back to LA though. Well maybe once for sushi.
