Okra / lady's fingers

[ElegantAura]

A vegetable most people either love or hate, with a reputation of been slimy .
How do you feel about this like it or hate it?

I have only had okra a couple times but quite liked it. My friend made a nice spicy stew one time with okra and some hot sauce he bought on a trip to New Orleans.

I love okra!!
Only fresh, or in soups or gumbos.
Have tried to grow okra, and had limited success. That was how I discovered that the short-lived bloom looks exactly like a hibiscus.
Our temps in the spring & early summer here have such widespread swings; okra loves a consistently hot, humid climate.

......Just happens that my son sent this pic last month: said it was the biggest okra he's ever seen.

I have enjoyed it in gumbo, but it scares me off menus because of the bad rep

I like it breaded and fried dipped in ranch!
