What you're describing as bad is experienced as many people as good. Pretty simple.

Black people, it’s a traditional African food you racist.

Its good roasted like how you would roast broccoli. The traditional southern way of eating it is to batter and fry it though. Both are delicious of course.

People have it breaded and deep fried at a country kitchen.

You ever seen what the fuck west Africans do to this shit? It's actually heinous. They mash the fuck out of it until you have a bowl of pure slime. Then they mix some screaming hot chilies and bizarre spices in it and serve it alongside whatever cow hoof or mud cake you're being served. Just a bowl of hot slime you eat with your hands. Pulling the plug on colonialism when it was only getting started is such an honest to God tragedy in the history of humanity. We could have helped so many.

you have to pick them pretty young so they're tender all the way through.

You have to do what indians do and braise it for a long time until tender. I never know how much I actually like okra until I had it indian dishes.

It goes in gumbo and is good fried. You can make a different kind of steel with them but I've never wanted to make anything other than gumbo with it.
