Yeah, we've had this discussion before.  You lost me at slimey -- I've never had that problem with okra, and it was a very complimentary texture and taste to stroganoff, and added some soluble fiber, which is always something I look to do when adulterating a recipe.

Not that I'm against everything that's slimey...

I should hope not!

Slime is the defining feature of okra, so I wonder if you know what okra is.

It's the stuff that comes in the can labelled 'okra'.  Maybe I don't know what slimey is.  I would suggest: if you struggle to get it from the plate to your mouth with a fork before it slides off -- like fajita onions and peppers, buttered spaghetti -- then it's slimey -- the okra I've had is more like green beans -- maybe I should try some by itself without adding it to a recipe?

No, you don't know what okra is.  Canned?  Heat denatures things, you know, and canned is cooked.

If you want to try okra, yes.  I would suggest cooking it*.
*this has no resemblance to canned.

Yeah, sorry, I meant fresh (as opposed to canned) okra, not raw (but then prepared/cooked).

or just go to a good southern restaurant.  No one needs to eat slimy gross okra.  It is fantastic, but not if it'd poorly prepared.

I need to find a good Southern restaurant anyway -- for biscuits and gravy.

It's OK. I'm sure there are a few thinks sprouting on you that Colin isn't that fond of. It's a wash.

That Brisket doesn't have Naaman's smoke ring, but still looks pretty tasty.
