Mt. Olive Mild Okra Pickles

I first heard about okra pickles while watching Alton Brown on the Food Network. Now, I LOVE pickles. Any kind except sweet - dill, garlic, cornichons, half sours. Mmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmmmmmm. I loves me some pickles!

But I was a bit hesitant about okra pickles. Don't get me wrong - a plate of fried okra or a nice okra gumbo is just the ticket. But pickles? Aren't okra a bit... well... slimy for pickles? But I heard Alton say it and I believed it: Okra pickles are NOT ONE BIT SLIMY.

So I tried them. And they were positively delicious! And now I'm hooked. And you will be too. Try 'em, you'll see!

I rate Mt. Olive Mild Okra Pickles 5 sparkly mushrooms!
