Plain boiled okra! If it's in a Gumbo its great. If it's in a Curry its excellent. If it is fried it is OK. If it is just boiled and served plain I could never deal with the taste or the texture. Most guys don't like boiled okra and then I found out why. Few years ago a bunch of us were sitting around the UC drinking coffee and discussing whatever came to mind. One of the girls commented that she really liked Okra and was raised on boiled okra when she was growing up in Alabama. Another girl said, ''you can't be serious, boiled okra tastes like a BJ''! The guys just stared and the first girl got this horrified look and said, ''Oh mah gawd, you are right. I never thought of that. Ah think I'm gonna lose my lunch''.
We just couldn't stop laughing. After that boiled okra just wasn't on the suggestion list at the UC cafeteria.
