For years I could not buy okra in S Africa. Now I can.

Then, this year, the greengrocer told me I can have it all year round from now onwards. Tried them, but after chewing, I have to spit out the strings, so I'll stick to the crop from the correct season.

I was wondering wouldn't your okra do well in a cypriot salad?

I'll be making some, if I find some small and tender enough, or else, next year.
