Fried okra is one of my favorites, too. I also like hot pickled okra. My mom cooked it just like this.

My early cookng mistake was when I was making oatmeal cookies. The recipe called for “rolled” oats. So I got out the rolling pin and proceeded to roll the oats on waxed paper. My mom asked me what I was doing, I said I was rolling the oats. It took about 5 minutes before she stopped laughing. She said if I had ever seen an oat in it’s original form, I’d know that the oats in the package were already “rolled”. I have never forgotten that one…..

That’s so weird, I just had a dream last night that I was making fried okra for my friends…….which is especially strange because I’ve never even had fried okra. Given this weird coincidence though, I think I will have to give it a shot!

my favorite is just sauteed in some bacon grease with salt and pepper till they are crispy/soggy little guys, no breading required.

It’s funny to read these comments about people who have never had fried okra. If you have had fried okra at restaurants or the frozen kind, use this recipe and you’re in for a treat. I use flour myself, but I’m sure cornmeal is just as good.

Blessings to all you fans of boiled okra and/or tomatoes and okra…I only like my okra fried. I will have to try this recipe sometime, but not tonight. Gonna have supper at Cracker Barrel (Woo-Hoo!) and I ALways order their fried okra as one of my sides! You know I love ya Christy, however, I don’t see myself EVER trying spagetti with corn and okra mixed in…just sayin! LOL

My mother used meal and flour also. She used it 2 to 1- meal to flour.

I love my fried okra with fresh cream style corn. I would have an extra helping instead of dessert.
