I prefer my okra in a garbage can. I've never been able to develop a taste for it no matter how it's prepared. Roasted, fried, boiled, stewed, gumbo, whatever, I don't like it.
I am the same way, I used to get shipped off to Alabama every summer to give my parents a break and I had an Aunt there that would boil it until she had a bowl of this slimy green stuff. I don't think she even chewed the stuff, just let it slide down her gullet. Bob (still gives me the shivers!!)
It's not slimy at all when roasted. May want to try it that way. (I don't care for the slimy preparations, either.)Deep fried is very tasty too.
