Grub, I usually buy okra bagged and frozen. When adding to gumbo, I make sure it's still frozen when I chop it.
Never noticed the 'slime factor' until I grew that one measley pod and blanched it. Couldn't pick the bloody thing out of the ice bath!
If there's ever a successful crop in my yard, it'll be frozen before use.
Note to self: Next kids party: Bobbing for Okra.
