We visited a local farm today to get some okra because they were sold out at the farmers market last Saturday. This Connecticut Yankee never heard of okra until moving to the southeast U.S. We love to have grilled veggies, including okra, for dinner. I first started liking okra when I got fried okra with BBQ. I just found out that it is really a fruit and not a vegetable but it seems like a veggie to me!
Never knew it was a fruit. I tried it but it was tasteless just cooked in a double boiler..have to try to BBQ it and hope it'll change my mind.
Looks like it has a beautiful flower.
