How do you eat okra?
ANSWER:Either as fried okra or in a recipe called okra and tomatos.Take two 12 ounce cans or 3 cups skinned, crushed tomatos and about 2 cups of okra cut in slices about 3/8 inch long. Add this to a soup pot, add a little water if necessary and cook until the okra is no longer crunchy. Add salt and pepper to taste.

What is the quickest way to cook the slime out of okra?
The longer one cooks it the thicker the 'slime' will get. This is one reason okra is often used to thicken soups. However, if you pan-fry sliced okra in butter or oil on medium, and constantly stir it, the thick slime will completely dry out. The okra will shrivel somewhat, but there will be NO slime. This is a long process, but well worth it. Don't be alarmed if the okra and/or seeds turns dark or even somewhat green-black. That's gooood eatin'! It will be a little crunchy and provide that breaded and fried okra taste without the deep fry. This method does not work particularly well with frozen okra, which kind of turns to mush. Fresh is best.
