Okra is a vegetable. It is very high in iron, so it's inclusion in a diet is beneficial.
One way to prepare okra is fried. The okra is sliced into pieces, and dipped in flour or corn meal, then fried in oil. One uses a fork for this method.
When okra is boiled, one still uses a fork, but the appearance is somewhat less pleasing. Most often, the okra is boiled with tomatoes and is similar in appearance to gumbo. Okra is used in gumbos also.
It is served as a side dish for most fried meats when served fried.
Boiled okra is sometimes an acquired taste. It is very mild in flavor, but has a tendency to be "slimy", meaning that it develops a "sauce" of it's own.
To make boiled okra, select small pods because they will be more tender. Wash the pods and put into salted boiling water. Cook about three minutes, then pour the water off and put in fresh water to avoid the slimy effect. Boil about 6 minutes more until tender. Plate quickly, and top with butter.
You can use butter in the second water if you prefer.
Fresh okra can be sauteed in a pan, boiled, thrown in soup or stew, or steamed. Trim the stem end before cooking.

They say that raccoons will eat anything. However, even raccoons have certain standards and would not be attracted to eat okra leaves.
Although raccoons will eat almost anything, they still have standards. I doubt that a raccoon would eat okra unless it was on the verge of starvation and there was nothing else to eat.
good to eat ;)
There are several animals/insects that will eat on okra. Some of the animals/insects are stinkbugs, cabbage worms, caterpillars, Japanese beetles, and aphids.

Okra that has black spots should not be eaten. Okra pods will be green and firm when they are fresh.
If you do use okra, I'm guessing that you will be more itchy then lubricated. i wouldn't advise it. just have the person eat you out, of just get lubricant from the store.
Only if it is served with red wine.

Don't feed your horse okra until you check with your vet. Okra is in the spinach family and I know spinach has certain toxins in it. Just to be safe ask your vet, and if he gives the 'go-ahead' only feed in small amounts.
