Well, it will almost surely never happen that I cook for you -- okra
or anything else. So there's not much chance we will ever settle this.
But I can make it very good, and there's no stench, just the aroma of
caramelizing plant sugars and hot soy sauce.

One thing I like about okra is that it takes hot Texas weather well,
producing in abundance after most other crops in the garden have faded
away.
