Oh man was it deliciousness.
Nothing like regular slimy okra.
I mean I like regular okra okay..
But it is nothing like that stuff was.

Have you ever ate Chinese okra?

You know the answer to that, without even asking. The times I tried okra though, to be totally honest, I did not ask it about it’s ancestors country of origin.

Yes I go ice fishing but lutefisk, don't think so. never tried it never will. Just like blood sausage, no way, no how!

I've been trying to figure out the variety of okra my family always used to grow.
It wasn't normal okra. I think it was this?
It sure does look and sound like the same thing.
But I wouldn't think this would grow in Missourah.
If it's not this it's another variety just like it.
It's actually a type of gourd.
They used to always let some of them get big and then they would dry them out and use the seeds to replant the next year.
I tried to grow it some years back when my grandpa went to the nursing home, but it rained all year like this year and they flooded out.
No one has seeds anymore that I know of.

If you are going to claim okra is good and never tried lutefisk, I am afraid we are going to have to ask you to a Southie stronghold, like Iowa.
