May and June is a good time of year for San Franciscans to enjoy okra because the local crops are in season. The problem is a lot of people just don't like okra. In an article on the history of the much-abused vegetable, the San Francisco Chronicle offers a recipe for okra and shrimp curry as well as instructions on how to prepare okra so it is less-- well, frankly, less slimy.
