Okra is not going to taste like corn, or beans etc. It's Okra.
Boiled okra is not something most people would want. It does really make
a gumbo though.
Coated in corn meal and deep fried in Lard is good stuff.
In soups as gumbo it is good and contributes much flavor.
I don't care for the stuff in the frozen freezer section.
Fresh and at peak, not over ripe and tough is as always best.imo
