Yes....I have had both and the one that is like snot is not good at all. Since I was a kid I might not remember it as well but I want to say the slimy okra was when someone cooked it a different way (not breaded/fried).

Typically, that's stewed or a boiled-type okra.

That can be avoided by cutting the okra into 1/2"-1" pieces, salting it, then putting it in a colander for 30-45 mins, then rinsing under gently running cold water for a few secs.

The salt leaches out the slim/water.

Not a fan of squash, but that looks pretty good. Makes me wanna go veg out on my next meal.

Exactly my thought. Everything but the squash looks yummy. Not a fan of squash either.

You and me both. Fried okra is da bomb, especially homemade, with only cornmeal! There's 2 bbq joints right around me that do it really well. I'll stop there from time-to-time just to get an order to snack on on the go.

And thanks, it is worth a lot.

No one in Tucson does fried okra worth a flip. I go to Church's chicken and get nothing else sometimes just because you can't find it anywhere.

My Aunt (a Texas lady) made the best I have ever had.
