Pass The Vittles

Fried Okra is a Southern staple. I happen to have a son-in-law that is from Ohio and he absolutely loves my okra. I usually use fresh okra, or frozen that I have put up, but I have been using the frozen cut up okra that you can buy at the grocery store, and it works out just fine. Southern or not, give this a try.
