@farmerman,
Once, about 50 years ago, I chanced to be working in Slidell, LA. I was intrigued by the gumbo on a menu and ordered some, unaware it had okra in it. That is the only time in my life I enjoyed okra. Because the blend of flavors made it indistinguishable. This stuff was so good I had seconds. If the servings weren't so generous I would have had thirds. But one dish does not an edible make.
