Fried okra is probably my favorite veg.
Not sure it's edible any other way.At least not like Zuccini/Yellow Squash/Egg Plant,IMHO

It's OK pickled, IMO.

I think God created okra to be fed to pigs.

Most southern food types reflect lack of refrigeration back in the day.  I just read a book called "Salt".  It goes on too long in parts, but it was interesting.

I love okra however it is prepared, and in soup.  An Indian place near us serves it thinly sliced and flash fried, it's amazing.

Apparently Connecticut is moving to the Big East. I don't see how it makes sense for anyone, especially since they'll probably have to go independent in football.... Maybe this prompts Wichita State to seriously consider restarting their football program?

Similar to the reason most spicy foods originate in hot climates.  Not so much for preservation as for covering up the taste of meat going bad.
The Taste of Conquest by Michael Krondl is an interesting book

Well, there you are.

I like a lot of southern food.  Fried chicken and beans w/ cornbread top the list.

But I draw the line at fried okra.  When I was growing up, everyone in my family liked 'em except for me.  Every family get-together, there they'd be, stinking up the kitchen and the dining room.

I don't like collared greens either.  Whatever you season 'em with, however much bacon you add, you still taste the bitterness.

Grits are actually OK, I suppose.  Inoffensive nothingness, however prepared.  They taste like whatever you put on 'em.  How they are still considered a regional delicacy is beyond me, though.

None of these foods got started because they were good.  They got started because better food either wasn't available or wasn't affordable.

The best type of cornbread is fried, of course.Image result for fried cornbread 
You take a dollop of batter and press it in just a tiny bit of oil.  Looking it up online, it's called "lattice"  or "hot water" cornbread, which I had never heard of.  If you do this in a big pot of oil, you've got yourself a hush puppy.
BUT.....even the internet gets this wrong, as all the images I could find look like mini-pancakes, which would just be bland as hell (see above).
What it SHOULD look like, how my granny made it, is it should be the size above, but the cornbready part should only be the size of a quarter or golf ball (flat), with the rest being ulta-thin, lattice-like wiry, crispy structure, a la a fried egg.  So the yolk would be the cornbready part, and the white would be the crispy surrounding part.  It's addictive!!!!
