# Having no idea what 'Okra' was...

Okra was suggested by Ecclesia.
Obsessed? No. Not I.

Of which I am most proud.
Thank you!

# An alternative name
for okra is 'lady fingers'

# Your question was muttered many times as I made the picture.
I did a bit of research though, and it's some kind of veg in African origin related to an eggplant.
Thanks for the congrats!

# It's a vegetable
You cut it open, it looks like someone spit on the inside of it
You slice it into about 1 inch pieces, batter it, and fry it and it tastes like tater-tots

# actually
i just really like saying the word "rutabaga". ;D

# it does have a certain je ne c'est quoi
the translation was because most brits have no idea what a rutabaga is
