More seriously, if you want to serve okra to someone who says they don’t like it, I’ve had success with giving them dry-fried okra. Wash the okras and dry very thoroughly, they have to be dry for this to work. Slice them (throw out the stems). Saute in hot pan with a little oil and any spices you want (berebere is good) but - this is important - NO SALT until they are done.

This cooks them without the slime, I personally like the okra slime but also like them dry fried, the flavor is really good.
