My Latest Obsession: Pickled Okra

June 18, 2007 by Nicole 22 Comments

Well, it’s not really an obsession. But last time I was home, my Dad had a jar of pickled okra at his house and as we sat out on his front porch eating it, I fell in love with the stuff! I’ve never really eaten much okra but the few times I’ve tried it, either deep-fried or in gumbo, I thought it was okay. It seems that most people either love it or hate it. I just never had strong feelings one way or another. That was until I had it pickled! Ok, I admit that I love just about anything pickled. But there’s just something about pickled okra.

Ok, so the reason I’m writing about this is because I happened to see a jar of pickled okra at our grocery store on the military base the other day. Of course I bought it! I haven’t stopped thinking about it since last fall when I ate it at my Dad’s house. So now I’ve already eaten half the jar. The thing is, this stuff isn’t nearly as good as what I had before. So, I’ve been online this morning searching for jars of pickled okra that can be shipped to an overseas military address. I think I’ve decided on this Hot Pickled Okra. Has anyone tried this brand? Any other suggestions? Anyone else out there love pickled okra?

    Actually, the "Old South" brand is better than the Talk of Texas because the Old South okra in the 16 oz jars are much crispier than the Texas which is a little mushy if you compare the 2. Walmart carries both brands but the Texas brand is over $l more than the Old South in l6 oz. Don't get the Old South in the fat jars. Not the same- mushy and does not have the same spices that you can see in the bottom of the l6 oz. jar. Old South is $2.27 for l6 oz. jar.
