I was raised eating it and still love it. Grandma taught me to slice it, roll it in corn meal with just a hint of flour, salt and pepper, fry in bacon or sausage grease. Put on plate and surround it with fresh tomato slices!! Hot baking powder biscuits, peach or apple pie, cold butter milk and hot coffee for adults. That's mid day dinner or a later supper. And of course home made butter and jams or jellies for the biscuits.
I don't have any okra in the freezer, darnit!!
