Okra "Cajun Delight"

Sounds good, how you eaten it before?

What I love about you and your 'adventures' David is that you totally immerse yourself into them and draw not only your children but also all of us. You try anything and your enthusiasm holds no bounds. It's a real pleasure to watch as your theme grows and although I may not comment on everything, trust me, I am watching, looking and larning!

Keep it up mate as you're truly an inspiration:0))

I couldnt have put it better myself Oddbillie...You and your family are indeed an inspiration David...:>)

Ditto ... .. I'd love to come to supper when they are ready !!

ugh i hate ladys fingers with a passion, first tried them when we lived in Zambia so sorry David but you can keep em Cap'n!!

Oh, Many Many Thanks (embarassed now, Dan et al). Just doing some lateral thinking, again, as sometimes I have to with a theme. Hope we get a tropical summer (just the sun and heat, not the rain, lol), for some outdoor cooking (my other favourite pastime).

Michaella, I've only ever really made fritters from these before, along with courgette and aubergine ones, served with a dip. Love when I find an Indian restaurant serving Okra as a starter.

Glad you will let me keep 'em, Sk!!! :-)) They can be served as a rather soggy mush, too, can't they?

With these plants, however, I'd be really pleased just to see the flowers, which, in pics, really do look like mallow blooms (Bertiefox has a pic of them in his gallery).

Anyways, will keep "my fingers crossed" (sorry about the pun, none intended).

:-))

Will you be making Gumbo? I thought that they needed a hot climate to do well...how do you think they will do in Scotland? Good luck, David...the fritters sound good!

Will have a go, Lori, if I ever get pods. Will have to keep a couple of plants indoors, as no longer have a greenhouse. They certainly wouldn't thrive in the garden here.
