What kinds of food don't you like?

DistantCelt, here's a recipe I found online at Google for fried okra that is somewhat similar to what I made once or twice for my ex-husband, and he just loved it.


Fried Okra

1 pound okra
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 cups self-rising cornmeal
vegetable oil

Wash okra and drain well. Remove tip and stem end; cut okra into 1/2 inch slices. Sprinkle okra with salt; add buttermilk, stirring until well coated. Let stand at least 15 minutes; then drain okra well. Dredge in corn meal. Deep fry okra in hot oil at 375F until golden brown; drain on paper towels.

Serves 4 to 6.

Erm. Whoops, i misread your post and thought Okra was something you liked...my apologies.
And thankyou very much for providing an Okra recipe.


Well i have travelled a lot and i always had a bit of a culinary adventurer inside of me.... i have always tried exotic foods when they are not from the abovementioned categories( apart from fishbrains....have tried it a few times in a bengali preparation)...so far, when it comes to the 'non-conventional meat groups' like apart from Chicken/Mutton/Beef/Pork/Fish/Shellfish, i've tried rabbit, grasshopper, beetle, locust, snake, Ostrich Eggs, Snail and octopus.

My folks used to fix rabbit from time to time when I was growing up. It's all right, I guess, but never has topped my list of favorites. And, one time, when we lived out in the hill country above Naches, I think it was Daddy who'd killed a rattlesnake (the place was loaded with them), skinned, sliced the "meat" (ugh!), breaded it, and fried it one Sunday afternoon. I was gagging when my mom passed the plate around and she demanded I try one. Took the smallest piece I could find and found it tasted like chicken, although really bony. Still, given what snakes eat, gag me with an entire place setting! Oh, BTW, did I fail to mention that I'm a rather picky eater???

[DistantCelt]

I find it useful not to dwell on what animals eat or else the only course of action left would be to turn into a vegitarian.
I dont think that pork would sound very appealing once we realise that pigs and snakes arnt very picky eaters....what about goats ? they'll eat anything....one actually ate my rubber slipper!

PS: I am a picky eater sometimes.....but most of the time, i aint.

[suzy_homemaker]

Probably not a bad idea. Have never tried goat before, but was mainly an ovo-lacto vegetarian for nearly twenty years and have found my daughter and I are actually healthier for eating meat. Have never regretted going back to meat-eating, with the exception that I never really learned how to cook it in the first place (except for hot dogs, hamburgers, meat loaf, things like that). The really neat thing is that we have the best of both worlds now..... I'm not wondering what to do when I want a meatless meal. So, that's really cool.

I will not eat anything that comes from McDonalds, Burger King or KFC's chicken fried slug legs, hot dogs, bananas, liver, brains, eggs killed by my hubby, (he cooks them absolutely to death) salt and pepper on my food, (ruins the actual flavor of the food) and I believe I draw the line at octopus testicles altho I have had octopus and found it not terrible. Pepperoni doesn't like me any more and I really don't miss it!

I am pretty picky about what I eat so it must be good or I don't want it.

I have to bring the salad to the next "family duty dinner" and I plan to sprinkle feta on it! All the more for me as all the In Laws will be grossed out! (heh heh hehhhh *wicked chuckle*)

I don't eat meat at all, I also don't touch anything that
has meat substances either as it makes me ill, I go
numb and then lose all feelings in my body !!

I have been this way for a good few years now and
carefully look at labels to see what is in most foods!!

Did you know that many jelly sweets have either pork
or beef gelatine in them...not fair as I love Jelly Babies !!
