Hi,all.
AFAIK-okra(sometimes,I believe known as gumbo)
came to the southern US by way of African slaves
way back when. I forgot about this odd vegetable
when I was mentioning local foods.
For my tastes-you can have it.
Here they eat it boiled or fried,with fried being
the only way palatable to me(dipped in cornmeal batter).
Cooked with stewed tomatoes is ok.
Most foods here came with whoever was on the boat
or due to their adaptability to make "home"style foods
from local ingredients.
I'm sure the Romans did too.
