Reminds me of another description that I've heard regarding okra and its
sliminess. It had to do with whether one "swallows" something of similar
consistency. This other item is not in one of the regular food groups! ;-)

I do like okra and the sliminess doesn't bother me. The one form of okra
that shouldn't bother anyone with sliminess is pickled okra. I love pickled
okra as an addition to a bloody mary, as well as just snacking on them.
