Fried Okra

That's how my grandmother made it--thin and crispy--all cornmeal. Oh my gosh, I'm gonna dream about it tonight. :wub:

yes, my mom and kurt's mom - both make it this way. very small, all cornmeal, bacon grease. fried very crunchy - not quite burnt. yum.

Wench lunch!

FBB and I forced Miss Kitty to go with us one day. She had business to attend to in pcb. So we "Drove Miss Kitty" and made her got to Mike's with us. I think she liked us. Score one for us. We have a personal goal to drag her to every dive we know. :floor:

yeah baybay! omg, there are too many places we gotta go and have some lunch. but we're not doing so good on the mexican places to go these days.:cry:

I drove through pier park yesterday and there are so many dam eateries in there you won't believe it. most don't really do anything for me. but a few we must try.

that place is missing one important element, imo. shade. it is going to be absolutely broiling hot this summer. it's all sidewalk and no overhang or trees or anything to protect from the sun. people were eating outside here and there at various restaurants, in the sunshine - fine for march. can't imagine what they are going to do after May. how about some awnings at least!??!!

Tootsie, Delta's is better than Mikes, on all accounts. However, I don't think Delta uses cornmeal in their breading, like grandma used to make it. Also, my grandma used to slice it thinner and over fry it slightly to get it crisp. I don't think a restaurant in NW FL makes it like that. Delta Kitchen's is definitely not grandma's, but it is freshly breaded and cooked.

I had an Kitty Special, tonight, at home! Delicious, but has nothing to do with Fried Okra.

fbb and gttbm turned me on to Mike's. I LOVED the okra there, so it looks like they will have to take me to Delta Kitchen now so we can compare!

:wub:...if you can recreate that salad and will share it with me, I might paint YOU a picture! Did you get your arugula in DFS?

Well, you will have to go on a Monday so that one of the best servers in town can wait on you, at Delta Kitchen (you'll know her when you see her ;-))

No, I didn't get the arugula in DFS, but it was grown in FL, and was damn tasty. I may be eating it for the next three meals -- yummy! but not the same as crunchy fried okra.

Abbays, 2345 N Germantown Pkwy in Cordova, very good homecooking and they do carry out. :wave:

And what made you think, I did not do the cooking. :floor: Actually I did not even go get it, my sweet hubbie did. :wub:

On my way!!!


Oh, I know you can cook and do it well. I also know that a wonderful person like you will have an adoring hubby that will do anything for you
