A question always comes to mind for us west coast people, and that
is, other than gumbo, how do you cook okra?
Slice, batter, and fry,
stir fry, boil, grill, steamed (baby okras)...

Instead of boiling in a pot on the stove, my wife now puts it in a
dish of water in the microware and just brings to a rolling boil. It
is not near as "slippery" cooked this way and more people like that!!
To me, I was raise on it boiled on a wood stove until it was almost
falling apart, so either way is good to me. I also like it sliced
across in 3/4" or so pieces, battered in corn meal and fried crispy!
