"Just say 'no' to okra"

I used to like okra in chicken gumbo soup, but haven't had it for years. My wife hated the slimy consistency of it. Is that what makes the rest of you dislike it?

Grits is just one more type of cooked cereal, OK, but not a gourmet treat.

The only thing I had trouble with was "Philadelphia scrapple" I had to force myself to remember what my mother taught me about being polite when served that.
