No we don’t fry okra for tailgates down here. It’s boudin balls, fried fish, hushpuppies, fried shrimp, onion rings, and fried gator

Not sure I've ever seen fried okra at a tailgate but that doesn't mean it can't be.

Not really my choice of tailgate food. I typically make jambalaya. Check with Ole Miss. I know Kroger has fried okra at their deli...and since that’s where they get all their other tailgate food you’ll probably have better luck with them.

I’m not sure how and or why this is relevant, but no, I haven’t.

Have I ever fried okra at a tailgate? No

Would I eat fried okra at a tailgate? Yes
