The Wisdom of Tommy Jon

Lew and I went out to lunch after church today with Tommy Jon and Julie.  (Why do we call him Tommy Jon?  Long story.  Not the topic of this post.)

We went to Cracker Barrel.  I got my yummy yellow-hued meal of chicken & dumplings, hashbrown casserole, macaroni & cheese, fried apples, and a cornbread muffin.

When Tommy Jon ordered his meal, he selected fried okra as one of his side dishes.

Lew asked him, "What's okra?"

Tommy Jon's response -- and I quote:
"Okra is a nasty-tasting vegetable that tastes good when it's fried!"
