Heehee. When a plate lunch or dinner at a restaurant allows you to "pick X vegetables," it's our way of saying "pick X side items" ^_^ Mostly because the majority of the choices will actually be veggies, or at least contain some (e.g. mac n cheese w/Rotel diced tomatoes). And hey, mac n cheese includes flour! That...kinda counts, right?

At a local "Southern Buffet" the vegetables choices usually are:
Green beans
Corn casserole
Mashed potatoes and gravy
Mac & cheese
Rice
Fried okra
Turnip greens
Fried green tomatoes
3 out of 8 ain't bad.

At my local Mission BBQ, the green beans have bacon in them. I bet the beans do too. They do have a decent side salad, though.Quoth Ironclad Alibi View PostComment

The best fried okra isn't deep fried but pan fried. Either buy some small tender pods of okra (about 2 pounds) and wash it. dry it on a towel and then cut off the stem end followed by the bloom end. Now cut it up in 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch rounds. Now either using a bag or a bowl with a lid pour a little vegetable oil and toss to coat the okra. Now sprinkle some corn meal onto the okra and shake it to coat (how much meal is up to you, I don't use very much 1/4 to 1/3 cup at most.) Let it set for a few minutes for the meal to attach to the okra. Now in a cast-iron skillet either pour some oil or bacon grease in the pan and heat it up. Pour the okra in the pan. On a medium heat brown the okra. Don't stir it just keep flipping it and breaking up the chunks. This will take a while so keep an eye on it and don't burn it. The okra will become tender and the sliminess will go away, when it's browned to your liking remove it from the heat and server with a little salt and pepper.Quoth Racket_Man View PostYUP best I can find up here is in the frozen section.

Some people don't care for it but I also put onion and garlic in my okra. BTW I either use hog lard or bacon grease.Bow down before me for I am ROOT
