Ick, ick, ick! Only veggie I REFUSE to eat. Grossest, slimiest stuff on earth!

No, it isn't. You just don't know how to prepare it properly. Use a very
sharp knife and SLICE so you don't crush it. Crushing causes the viscous
juice to flow. Slicing it (with a sharp knife) leaves it dry. If you
still manage to screw it up, coat in soymilk then seasoned cornmeal,
spread on a lightly oiled cookie sheet, and bake it (rather than fry)
till crisp. Cutting is paramount, but you can still cook it so it's not
too slimy.

Most of the times I've had it, it was in gumbo, etc., where it was
*slimy*. I once had it fried. It was still slimy/gooey on the
inside. Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not sure I ever want to
try it again. The texture and flavor was just too gross for me! My
DH doesn't like it either, so it isn't a problem. We live in the PNW,
so I don't think it is grown locally anyway.
