OKRA  | ||
| Jaimec |
Fried okra, to be exact. It was a LITTLE bit too salty for my taste, but not bad otherwise. | ||
| Etennuly |
It was either that or sheep testicles!  | ||

Congratulations!!!! Now all folks in cars and trucks will see you and run away Maidens will fall at your feet begging for your affections Gravity will surrender it's efforts to drag you to the ground When you speak people and small animals will listen in awe and wonder You'll inherit 2.3 million from that dead relative in Africa or maybe not, but at least you've found something fit to eat that will take years and years to kill you | ||

Okra will be the official food of the 25th. | ||

Where the heck did you find fried Okra in this area? I am there!  | ||
| Jaimec |
It's called "The Farmer's Bar BBQ" in Cutchogue. It is at 4805 Depot Lane. It's a good, long haul from the city:  | ||

Ahh, that's okra just the way I like it!! | ||
| Jaimec |
I think I'm partial to it in gumbo, myself. Guess the next thing is to try it pickled... | ||

I can smell the fryin grease from here and I am in Arizona! Do they go good with beer? | ||

I spent part of the weekend at an outpost of civilization call Smithtown . . . so I can maybe find the joint. That's like living in Western Kansas! | ||

Pickled okra is some good stuff.. Actually there is this great dish at one of the local indian restaurants that is basically okra in sauce, it is one of my wife and I favs. | ||
| Jaimec |
Court, give us a "Head's Up" when you're back in the area. I think we can find that place again... | ||

Having been born and raised in Western Kansas, I have actually seen people grow OKRA in their gardens for Human consumption.  OKRA is best deep fried and not the consistency of snot boiled method.  (Message edited by dbird29 on November 12, 2007) | ||

Just so I don't get on the wrong side of anyone . . . Mom's family is from Phillips County (Logan, KS) and I used to do tons of work all over Western Kansas. If you see a large overhead steel or wood electrical transmission line theres's about a 75% chance that my Grandfather, Father or I built it. Having traveled the entire country on Buells, I'm comfy saying there is no place like Western, KS. I laughed when Jim Nance called from his epic journey several weeks ago . . . he was "in the middle of nowhere" and I had to explain he wasn't even to Colby yet! Western Kansas plays second fiddle only to West Texas in defining BIG. I still recall my kids, when we were driving from San Diego to out place in Dallas. . . we hit El Paso and the kids call out "we're almost there". . . I had to explain . . . "uh . . . we've still got 647 miles to go!". I miss Western Kansas and am itching to ride my S2 back from Colorado . . my wife keeps saying "ship it like normal people". Talk about an insult. | ||

Am I the only one here puzzling over loose cannon's comment...?  ~SM | ||
| Etennuly |
Oh no, if I remember correctly there is a world record for that event. | ||

Do they go good with beer? Yes, they do. Doesn't everything? I was at my mom's house in the suburbs of Robert, Louisiana yesterday, and she cooked up a pot of chicken and okra gumbo like only she can do. I was gonna take a picture and post it up, but by the time I thought about getting my camera out of the truck (unlike Court, I don't take my camera everywhere I go!) it was all gone... rt | ||

I laughed when Jim Nance called from his epic journey several weeks ago . OMG, I'm the subject of a Court story. I have truly arrived.  | ||

I'm now OFFICIALLY one of the "Tribe!" Congrats! Now...what tribe is it that you now belong? | ||
| Jaimec |
Why, the "Buell Tribe," of course. Don't we ALL eat okra here?? | ||
| Glitch |
I'm sure that's still up for debate  | ||
| Cityxslicker |
mmmm okra fried and battered, only thing better is to top it with hot queso and japaleno slices, drizzled liberally with hot sauce, chased with a good cold beer or a shot of whiskey. I suggest you dont ride for a gooooood long while after a proper plate of them. | ||
| Jaimec |
CityX, I think it would be more important not to ride BEHIND someone who finished a plate like that!! | ||
| Cityxslicker |
its not the okra that gives you gas, its the weaker uninitiated stomach giving up that makes for a bad "tail wind" |
