I'd like some pickles.

I like pickled beets. The OP canNOT eat chili without a sweet pickle on the side, bless his heart, and I vote for all the pickles you can pile onto my Chick Filet. Just thought you'd all be fascinated to know all that.
Love, Ima

I love fried okra and rather strongly dislike it in all other forms...too slimy/snotty.

Have you given the pickled variety a chance? It's been my experience that they're crisp and cruncy, far from slimy/snotty. I like okra in soups and stews too, but it can go awry. Wonder what the secret to slimeless okra is?

Yeah, I don't much care for pickled okra either...it's a fairly common "fancy" garnish in Bloody Mary's, but it's just not my thing.

It is? That's nasty...I'll stick with my celery, thanks.

Me too. But truth be told, I'm not wild about celery either.

When I first started eating meals at my girlfriend's house back when we were dating (yes, I'm talking about Mrs. Ozzie) and they ate okra, or okro if you prefer ;) ), I couldn't believe anyone ate that crap. My future MIL even hid it in her vegetable soup. That's still the only way it passes through my lips.

Celery works, but it's nothing to write home about.
Give me a skewer loaded with jalapeno slices, olives, pickles...

Would you prefer the jalapeno slices, olives, pickles, etc. in a ramekin on the side?

Hmm, I can't say I've ever heard of this but I'd be willing to try! ;)

I love it fried and breaded. Seems like it gets a lil slimy when not breaded but I like that also!

That's a good tip on the crunchy aspect, I like it like that and can't wait to taste! You guys are making me hungry! I really love okra in soups and stews, CathyCA makes the best shrimp jambalaya and gumbo! I wonder if the secret to slimeless okra is the breading? Betcha TNT knows if I can't find it on the internet before he replies! ;)

Y'know, 90+ posts about pickles is a pretty clear illustration of why I flippin' love this place.

Man, that was before my Brunchgate time (slightly), but maybe a small sampling for ME in the future? !!!! YOU ARE TALKING my language!!!! I love HOT and garlic and .... YUMM, YUMMM, YUMMMMMM!!!!!
Hopefully, we will have a good garden this year and will grow lots of okro. I will pickle them again and will bring you a jar.

VDB - that sounds wonderful! I hope you do also and I would love to know how you do it, can I also get a tour of the factory some time? I'll be happy to provide cheap hard working labor as well! ;)

What's the deal with deep-fried pickles? Are they worth it?

Yup. Next time you're in town, we should all hit up Tyler's Tap Room for a few beers and some deep-fried pickles.
