that tells you how good Okra is when it’s best use is as a thickening agent
To be fair, I made Gumbo once and was out of Okra so I substituted Nickelodeon Slime and it turned out just fine.

Touche mon frere, touche.
I can lend you a brigage in defense of Okra. We must unite against all food blasphemers. Cajuns <handshake emoji> Italian Americans.

now you’re just being mean and exposing the limits to your understanding of a good gumbo. The thickening really comes from the roux. Every gumbo begins with oil and flour cook slowly till it browns golden. To make it correctly one should have two nice cool drinks in the process of finishing the roux. Chef Prudom used to refer to it as a two Beer roux. True the okra helps thicken it up a little more, but the roux is where it begins. And the thickening doesn’t end until you add the ground sassafras root AKA File powder until you can almost stand a spoon in the bowl as per Leah Chase of Dookie Chase. But the okra gives it the color, the thickness, and natural sweetness, that helps balance the chili powder, Cajun powder, capricious use of hot sauce.that tells you how good Okra is when it’s best use is as a thickening agent

I love a good bowl of gumbo, we’ve served it as a special a few times at the restaurant. I don’t dislike okra enough to not enjoy gumbo, just don’t care for it as a stand alone ingredient
Enjoy both eggplant and okra.. The Lebanese eggplant is nice but the traditional oval eggplant is similar until it gets too big and seeds form. At that point i don’t like.
Okra, or bhindi as they call it in India and where I grew a taste for it, is not for everyone but ill happily sit down to a plate of fried okra or a good gumbo.

When the correct Indian spices are used, and the correct amount of Indian spices are used, bhindi can be extremely tasty. But, as you also said, I agree, the taste is not for everyone.

For the record I absolutely love okra especially fried okra with tabasco sauce. And I of course love gumbo. A good gumbo is dare I say, borderline Italian.
Speaking of gumbo type dishes. I'm sure many of you know and love Cioppino, a classic Italian dish. Correction. A classic California Italian dish. Born on the wharfs of San Francisco, it was created when a fisherman who didn't have a good catch that day walked up and down the wharf asking his fellow fisherman to "Chip in, eh?" Hence, Cioppino.
Anyway yeah DeRozan is a future hall of famer.
Have the Kings quietly assembled three potential future HOFers? Food for thought!!

issac jones heart stopped for a second lolMonk's dunk would be spectacular from different angles, as well.
Watch Keegan's reaction..., Kim Jong Un style..
Which is doubly funny when contrasted with Keegan's golf clap.
