Any other kind I thought slowy scratched down your throat. I will have to try the pop corn type. You can't find them at regular grocery stores here in the US I think(or atleast here in the North Eastern Shore,I could be wrong though). But I have seen them once or twice at the vegetable vendors.this little mainyachahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00732481903686107181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-50791688945563250172007-08-14T22:25:00.000-04:002007-08-14T22:25:00.000-04:00I made a dish with fried okras too... but seeing your pictures, I got a brilliant idea...
