About 30 years ago, I had an opportunity to stay in a small town in Alabama, US. If I had been more open for unfamiliar food, I could have enjoyed my stay better. I discovered many delicious food during my stay, and one of them is ‘Fried Okra’ that I tasted for the first time at a school cafeteria. I asked a kitchen lady how to cook them, but she said she just fried the already seasoned & coated frozen Okra. My ‘Fried Okra’ is almost as good as the school cafeteria’s ‘Fried Okra’, I believe.
