Nancy - If I were to make it for you, you would not find it "slimy". I
know because the first time I had okra, it was *very* slimy, and left me
with an impression I'd never want to try it again.

But a good fry, or a dry style oven bake would likely change your mind.

It did change mine.

I love the flavor, hate the slime.
