Speaking of okra, anyone like pickled okra? I love it. A friend of my wife's gave her about 5 lbs and I made these. They are crunchy, not slimy and delicious.
Pickled okra is awesome when it's made right...crunchy and not slimy, just like you said. I know a guy whose brother grows okra and pickles it. It's the best I've ever had. He won't give me any, won't sell me any, and won't give me the recipe. Grrr.
I buy fresh okra at the local grocery store and I pickle my own from time to time. It's pretty good. The best value I found is the 5lb jar at Wal-Mart for like $6. I'll add garlic and red pepper flakes and whole peppercorns to it and it does affect the flavor even after one night in the fridge. I've been buying hot pickles also. That's a whole 'nother addiction...
