i eat okra braised in tomato sauce sometimes....pretty good stuff
Have you ever had pickled okra? I'd never heard of the thing until a colleague mentioned it. Apparently it's the worst thing evah, but I can't imagine okra tasting bad. It's so nummy. Mmmmm... with onions.

Ummm... by your standards, then prolly lol.
When I make it at home, I always spice it up. I grew up on spices. But it's just part of the masala, so you can always omit it.

That's good...but does it alter the taste in any significant ways?
I remember my ex-gf making curry...it was really spcy and I ate all of it because...well, hormones made me an idiot. Oh how my stomach paid. Stupid stomach.

nah i haven't...thankfully....i do enjoy some pickled foods but usually japanese ones....like pickled cucumbers with some wasabi, or this awesome pickled garlic they have at the local japanese market (Yakuzen Kyuri) Pickled garlic cloves with baby cucumbers (gherkins)....dayem and it's actually good for you too....because garlic has NUMEROUS heathful benefits.

LOL Well, I use red hot spice (I dunno the english translation) and it just adds a kick with only a minor change in the flavour. The obvious and outstanding flavours are really the onions and garlic. Okra has a mild taste on it's own. O, and I usually put in some curry powder, which isn't that spicy.

O! I've had pickled garlic before. SO NUMMY! I've never had picked cucumbers tho. I've had picked carrots. Delicious.

Just thought you should know...because Prilosec is a Proton pump inhibitor.

Proton pump inhibitors reduce the bioavailability of dietary vitamin C.

BACKGROUND: The gastric juice concentration of vitamin C is reduced in subjects with elevated intragastric pH. This is probably because of the fact that the vitamin is unstable at non-acidic pH and undergoes irreversible denaturation. AIM: To determine whether elevation of intragastric pH reduces the bioavailability of dietary vitamin C. METHODS: Plasma vitamin C was measured before and after a course of omeprazole 40 mg/day for 4 weeks in 14 Helicobacter pylori positive and 15 H. pylori negative subjects. Dietary intake of vitamin C was measured and intragastric pH monitored. RESULTS: Compared with the H. pylori negative subjects, H. pylori positive subjects had a lower mean daily vitamin C intake (141.7 mg vs. 41.5 mg, P < 0.01) and also lower plasma vitamin C concentration (25.1 microg/mL vs. 17.4 microg/mL, P < 0.0001). After 28 days of 40 mg/day of omeprazole the mean plasma vitamin C level had fallen by 12.3% (P = 0.04). This fall affected both the H. pylori positive and negative subjects. CONCLUSIONS: We have shown that a short course of omeprazole will cause a reduction in the plasma vitamin C level of healthy volunteers. This decrease in plasma vitamin C is independent of dietary intake of the vitamin and indicates reduced bioavailability. The clinical significance of this is unclear but any adverse effects will be most apparent in H. pylori infected subjects who have a low pre-treatment vitamin C status.
