Any time okra comes up in conversation, it seems that half the crowd will scrunch their nose, the other half will jump up in excitement. I’m not sure if I’m the only one who doesn’t fall into either boat, but I eat it when it’s there and I could easily do without it. I understand those that dislike it though, because prepared incorrectly, it can get pretty slimy. I’m no expert in okra, but armed with a few tips, you can keep the slime down to a minimum.
