I don't know either. I wonder how they taste like.

These are pictures of them cooked. I guess you can cook them like regular green beans.

Okra is best this way. Egg wash, flour, again in egg wash, then bread crumbs...

Sounds great! I'm going to buy them the next time I see them too. I'll cook them and see if I like 'em. :)

Post by: nooneever on January 17, 2017, 02:21:04 PM: Wow, looks great. Can you get one of the first ladies or former first ladies, preferably Michelle Obama or Melania Trump, to serve this at one of their fancy dinners? Like kale, I don't consume something unless it has been blessed or promoted by people in the white house.
