Collossally Fail Okra


Not everything turns out the way you plan. I bought this okra at farmer's market last week, and I knew even when I was buying them they were too big-but they just looked so beautiful. I stewed the life right out of these pods and was still left with a fibrous inedible mess-truly like chewing on a log. Which is too bad, because the sauce was a delicious sweet and sour curry. I'll try it again and I will never buy such large okra again.

That's a bummer as okra is quite delicious. It is harvested once they are 2-4 inches long. If allowed to grow larger they become tough and fibrous. Cheers!
