4. Broccoli 'cause Poppy Bush can't stand it!
It must contain some essential vitmain or mineral, a deficiency of which causes one to be an evil, conniving, manipulative megalomaniac, and results in offspring with severe genetic abnormalities.

8. Okra!!!
I'm a Southern girl, after all..... I like it fried, poached, sauteed, or in combination with any other logical vegetable. Tomatoes, corn, etc etc.

18. Corn, lettuce, and potatoes
Those other veggies can go to hell, as far as I'm concerned. Especially broccoli! (That's the ONLY thing I have in common with Bu$$$h Sr.)

22. Well, it's tubular, small, green,
and it has seeds inside. It tases really good fried, but it has kind of a slimy texture (at least I think so). The Seaboat restaurant here in Champaign has the best fried okra I have ever had.

34. If you have ever had REAL Gumbo
then you had Okra. It was the little green wheels?

If you ever want to prepare your own okra, just don't. It's really hard. You have to drain the goo out of it (takes a whole roll of Brawny paper towells), then cook the ever living hell out of it.

Try it frozen or canned, or just go to an authentic southern restaurant and try it fried or in gumbo.

Dat’s Good Eatin’, Dat! ... ...
