RE: SteemFoods Shopping List Event Begins | SEASON: -1- | 22nd November 2021 || My Weekly Shopping At Imtiaz Super Market || by@suboohi
Hi, @suboohi :) What a nice surprise to see okra among your vegetables. They're really popular in my father's hometown. I love them but rarely find them fresh in our local market. Nice post!
“okra” that's also what we call it in the Phillippines and Japan.
Hi, @juichi. So good to see you. Well, in Venezuela they are "quimbombó" (s.) Its plural form is "quimbombós" or "quimbomboes," but in my hometown (and also my father's), east of Venezuela, we also call them "chimbombó" (s.), "chimbombós" or "chimbomboes" (pl.). It sounds:
In the RAE, you will find it as "quingombó". I've never heard anyone say it like that, though.
Anyway, I find the vegetable similar to anything but "lady fingers" (which is another way to call it in English). Whatver this lady does for a living, lol, to have fingers like that, ha, ha, ha, ha. Cheers!
In pakistan we call it bhindi(ladyfingers)
It sounds like a beautiful word 😌
😊
Thanks dear for your good words. Actually my husband love to eat okra and I sometimes fry it and sometimes make it with meat. It's really tasty vegetable.
