"I ate so much okra I slid out of bed!" (1930s? East Texas?)

[Dave Hause]

I can't resist quoting a friend, "There's only one thing I eat that's hairy
on the outside and slimy on the inside, and it isn't okra."

 It takes some getting used to, even if the eater is a
native of East texas whose been fed it since becoming old enough to
eat solid food, especially after the mucilaginous substance has ceased
to be unique in the eater's experience.
