Just couldn't resist starting a 6th thread on the same subject. : D

For me, it's going to be the Buell OKRA. Color selection is limited however.

I might even start yet another thread in wich we can speculate some more!

2 weeks to Laguna Seca and it looks like a long, hot ride up the backroads this year!

All references to the Hairy Beast from the East are not supported or implied by the management, Badweb maintains no endorsement for said vegetable, any relation to green sliced and deep fried item is purely coincidental.

Explain the okra joke? You might ask DaveS to do that. Something about him being staunchly, unwaveringly averse to the wonderful little southern vegetable, especially if it turns up on his fork. : )


Coincidence?

Not my artwork. : )

duc and sword

do a "search" and type in the word
okra

it is a monumental listing...but it looks like it all started with Daves (formerly of Appleton Buell, and the Badwebber's best friend in time of need) and his dislike of the stuff from what i have read so far...
anyone else? Daves ?

Abelmoschus esculentus, Okara, is cultivated throughout the tropical and warm temperate regions of the world for its fibrous fruits or pods containing round, white seeds. The fruits are harvested when immature and eaten as a vegetable.

In Iran, Egypt, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Iraq, Greece, Turkey and other parts of the eastern Mediterranean, okra is widely used in a thick stew made with vegetables and meat. In Indian cooking, it is sauteed or added to gravy-based preparations and is very popular in South India. It became a popular vegetable in Japanese cuisine towards the end of the 20th century, served with soy sauce and katsuobushi or as tempura. It is used as a thickening agent in Charleston gumbo. Breaded, deep fried okra is served in the southern United States. The immature pods may also be pickled.

Okra leaves may be cooked in a similar manner as the greens of beets or dandelions.The leaves are also eaten raw in salads. Okra seeds may be roasted and ground to form a non-caffeinated substitute for coffee. As imports were disrupted by the American Civil War in 1861, the Austin State Gazette noted, "An acre of okra will produce seed enough to furnish a plantation of fifty negroes with coffee in every way equal to that imported from Rio."

Okra forms part of several regional 'signature' dishes. Frango com quiabo (chicken with okra) is a Brazilian dish that is especially famous in the region of Minas Gerais. Gumbo, a hearty stew whose key ingredient is okra, is found throughout the Gulf Coast of the United States. The word "gumbo" is based on the Central Bantu word for okra, "kigombo", via the Caribbean Spanish "guingambó" or "qimbombó". It is also an expected ingredient in callaloo, a Caribbean dish and the national dish of Trinidad & Tobago.

Okra oil is a pressed seed oil, extracted from the seeds of the okra. The greenish yellow edible oil has a pleasant taste and odor, and is high in unsaturated fats such as oleic acid and linoleic acid. The oil content of the seed is quite high at about 40%. Oil yields from okra crops are also high. At 794 kg/ha, the yield was exceeded only by that of sunflower oil in one trial.

Unspecified parts of the plant reportedly possess diuretic properties.


I like it sliced into little bit-sized pieces, dipped in a cornmeal batter and deep fried.

In Miss-ery we don't keep crackers in barrels, we keep them in the boxes they come in. We thought everyone did?

"Cracker Barrel" is mostly a southern restaurant we don't have 'round here.Just like all of those goofy "Waffle Houses" you guys have.What's up with that?

Anybody know of Buell's work into synthetic deep frying oil?

Does it do any better than corn oil? Peanut oil?

Syn veggie oil.

olestra3 will replace syn3

Olean is rumored to be the vendor for HD

works just like syn3, but it gives you the runs.

Steve-

Synthetic fry oil is nothing new. It's been around for quite some time and is a proven technology. It produces some truly dramatic results when deep frying - most of the time.

Unfortunately, synth used with okra isn't a good idea. The synth is too slippery causing the okra to slide instead of roll and you'll get flat spots on your okra.

Of course, the Okra Growers of America have recently developed a synthetic fry oil specifically for use with okra. This will prevent previously observed problems from cropping up when frying okra.

I've been bored today. I should have just gone for a ride.

Did some searching, and this looks to be the beginning of the whole "okra infestation".(or it's the earliest instance I could find)

DaveS really doesn't like okra.

I couldn't keep silent no mo. My bike's up on the lift, I've been thinking... I have some ideas about heat shields for the inner frame members. Also want to move the battery to the pillion area to open up a shoot for the hot air to vent past the seat. It was 108f yesterday, I rode the sporty. Come to think about it the flyrod design does look a lot like O K R A!

Your flyrod is a hexagon. The okra is a pentagon. Close, though. But then close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades...

Say, there should be a new XB dash face plate that has okra as a background... I think we know somebody that could fix that up. I would buy one just to have it ;)

All I have to say is if you do decide to eat the okra, be close to a bathroom the next day.





P.S. don't mix okra and the buell-aid. It could be a deadly combination.
