Okra - Does anyone knows why this veggie is called lady-fingers - so curious - Alvi

[Guest guest]

I don't know either. I've never heard it called this and I thought mayby that

person meant to also send in a recipe for Lady Fingers, but forgot.. Alvi hasn't

responded yet.

I'm wondering the same thing. LOL

Do you or anyone knows why this veggie is given such a nickname ?

Please put me out of my misery.

Dear Judy,

 

I am grateful for the reply.

No worries, Christie found it now

 

You know what?

I like it steamed and I spoon soya sauce into the holes and eat it as it is.

Mind you! it is not everyone's favourite though

 

The trick is not to " oversteamed " it.

After steaming, It should remain dark green( not yellow or going into brownish

).

If it is off colour, it will not taste as good.

 

 

 

Best Wishes,

Wee

WEE,

What holes are you talking about that you put soy sauce into? I bet

this would be nice and crispy still, like pickled okra is. I love

that stuff.
