Okra, my favorite vegetable. Fried is fabulous, if not too much batter. Boiled is good also, but I'll admit that I'm the only one in my family who will eat boiled okra. Pickled okra is a great snack. Okra is also good in gumbos, etc. I've never had an okra I didn't like.
Cheese grits are the best. Grits are also good topped with bacon bits. You have to be very careful when seasoning grits, because just a little too much salt and you can't eat them. I've known people from other parts of the country who put sugar on their grits. I really don't understand that. Salt, butter and cheese is about it for me.
Boiled peanuts are too slimy ......
Alabama here..
