I am completely opposed to brussels sprouts. Okra can be redeemed only through frying. And not the pre-breaded frozen version, but really fried, cornmeal batter please. A friend from Kenya described stewed okra as "slimy," where "slimy" is pronounced "slim" (like the opposite of plump) "y." Yes, quite slimy indeed. Mr RM, you’re making me snort my glass of water!

It's the previously-frozen, margarine-soaked cafeteria mushballs I can't stand. Same thing for beets... no-go on the canned, but take a fresh beet from the farmer's market, grate it, toss with flour, salt and freshly-ground pepper, then pan-fry it as a patty... yum! Okra is an abomination in all forms. If I want to eat snot, I'll blow it out of my own nose, thank you! I actually do like brussel sprouts, if they’re fresh and prepared well.

Also on SDWM. Have you ever seen "One True Thing"? The Scientist has an amazingly high tolerance for chick flicks, but--that was one I saw by myself. I’m with you on the beets and okra. Also on SDWM.

Okra. Boiled, fried, or the jewel in the okra crown---spicy pickled. He just won't do it. R is now walking around the kitchen mumbling about okra, so I better add that. Okra.
