Author Message   Jaimec Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 - 07:43 pm:        Boy, when did BadWeb become such a political forum? I come here looking for discussion on important issues like riding my motorcycles and OKRA!! It's Lent, so like all good (cough, cough) Catholics I'm not eating meat on Fridays. I've been frequenting a WONDERFUL Indian Restaurant that opened in Deer Park (NY) several months ago. Today I tried their "Vegetable Thali," which is like an Indian version of a Japanese Bento Box. Lots of small portions of different dishes served on a special tray with individual compartments for each dish. One of the dishes was CURRIED OKRA!! Well of course... okra originated in India, so I should've KNOWN it would be used in Indian food. Not bad, and Cyrus (the proprietor) knew to "kick up" the heat for me as well. So now I have a different way of eating okra besides in gumbo, fried, or pickled!   Rotzaruck Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 - 08:07 pm:        Now you've done it! Let it out of the bag. Okra is just another import. Stirring things up again. I thought it came from Africa. Rotzaruck!   Jaimec Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 - 08:42 pm:        You're right... my mistake... West Africa. But it seems to be a universal vegetable these days. The local Indian supermarket had plenty of fresh okra last time I was in there.   Jumpinjewels Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 - 09:19 pm:        I must say guys, from reading this forum for a while I just had to try OKRA. Growing up in the East and living in Colorado for the past 30 years I never had the opportunity or knowledge of OKRA. My sweet hubby, however, is from the midwest and has eaten OKRA. So, I ventured out and tried it and actually like it. Thank you guys for OKRA. Oh, and it goes well with sweet tea.   Brumbear Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 - 09:35 pm:        GOD is watching you know and he doesn't like okra   Firemanjim Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 - 09:43 pm:        Oh thank goodness--I thought you were going to say" contact patch". And okra is just nasty!!   Rotzaruck Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 - 09:45 pm:        So, I ventured out and tried it and actually like it It's definitely one of the best fried or pickled fruits going.   Spiderman Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 - 09:50 pm:        I was thinkin about growing Okra in my garden this year but I didn;t want to waste the area on something no one eats   2008xb12scg Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 - 11:15 pm:        I just had fried Okra 2 days ago. Deelishus!   Ourdee Posted on Saturday, March 28, 2009 - 12:47 am:        I like my OKRA breaded and fried with some mashed potatoes and iced tea, no sugar.   Jaimec Posted on Saturday, March 28, 2009 - 08:08 am:        You can't make gumbo without okra and I LOVE Cajun cookin'!!   Skully Posted on Saturday, March 28, 2009 - 09:17 am:        Cajun food is awesome!   Bluzm2 Posted on Saturday, March 28, 2009 - 12:21 pm:        I had gumbo yesterday! It was AWESOME. Nice kickin hot sausage and lots of okra. Mmmm Mmmmm good!   Jaimec Posted on Saturday, March 28, 2009 - 02:55 pm:        Now I'm hungry again...   Ourdee Posted on Saturday, March 28, 2009 - 03:27 pm:        Spelling -> Crawfish et tu fe with a ben yay for dessert wash it all down with tea. Oh and some baked bread with a vinegarette dipping sauce.   Jaimec Posted on Sunday, March 29, 2009 - 10:41 am:        Etouffe and Beignet In case you happen to be scanning a menu in a Cajun restaurant...   Ourdee Posted on Sunday, March 29, 2009 - 07:21 pm:        Thanks   Crusty Posted on Sunday, March 29, 2009 - 08:18 pm:        If you were eating Gumbo in a town southwest of New Orleans, and all the ingredients were grown locally, could you call it Okra-Houma?   Jaimec Posted on Monday, March 30, 2009 - 02:46 pm:        So did they have any pickled okra at March Badness?? Where are the photos??   Slaughter Posted on Monday, March 30, 2009 - 03:43 pm:        God does not approve of OKRA eating ! Proof: In the last 100 years, over 90% of the okra-eaters have DIED!!! I have the statistics to prove it too!   Zane Posted on Monday, March 30, 2009 - 04:11 pm:        Okra if vile and disgusting. Clearly the work of the devil!   Jaimec Posted on Monday, March 30, 2009 - 06:47 pm:        God made okra so that we might feast! So sayeth the Lord. Amen.   Dbird29 Posted on Monday, March 30, 2009 - 10:47 pm:        How 'bout that teflon tape? I use it on my polished billet air intake bell. I wonder if it would work on my unequal length headers?   Rotzaruck Posted on Monday, March 30, 2009 - 11:07 pm:        How 'bout that teflon tape? Fried? Boiled? Don't think it'll pickle   Dynasport Posted on Monday, March 30, 2009 - 11:14 pm:        I like fried okra when I eat barbecue. Hence my need to participate in the "Let's get it on" thread. BTW, shouldn't it be the let's get it off thread? I'm guessing, knowing this board, that has come up already, but I am not reading 50 pages of posts to see.   Jaimec Posted on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 - 08:45 am:        Dave, I've heard that if you use Teflon tape, you can get an XB9 up to 200mph without any further modifications. Just the ticket for getting to the next okra stand before your buddies!   Fast1075 Posted on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 - 03:45 pm:        Okra!!!!! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!! Boiled, fried.....MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! I'm gonna fry some tonight!!! <<< Ole Fast was born in the delta.. (Message edited by fast1075 on March 31, 2009)
