Okra is essentially a squid that grows in the ground instead of swimming in the ocean.
In the book "Heat Lightning" by John Sandford, the author presents a unique and playful description of okra, comparing it to a squid that has adapted to life on land rather than in water. This imaginative analogy highlights the unusual appearance and texture of okra, making it easier to visualize for readers unfamiliar with the vegetable.
This comparison not only captures the essence of okra's distinct characteristics but also invites readers to think about food in creative ways. Sandford's illustrative language contributes to a deeper appreciation of culinary elements and encourages exploration of ingredients that may seem unfamiliar or uncommon.
