Backstory:
Dixie Kitchen is my Squills column about food.
I was talking to someone who didn't know what fried okra was.
Here we are to talk about it.

There are five choices up on the board, of 3 common Southern dishes and 3 alternates for whatever way you might lean.

As usual, leave a comment and justification for your point. Or just swear at me and tell me to stop asking about regional food things. (Would rather have the first thing happen more than the second.)

Ummm just fried potatoes & fried onions for me. Maybe some fried pickle slices if we want to go crazy. Sorry I can't say I enjoy the other fried choices on the list. :)

EDIT:
I feel like I should clarify that by potatoes and onions I don't just mean french fries and onion rings but the magic that is

BLOOMING ONIONS
and
SPIRAL OR TORNADO FRIED POTATO

All other fried vegetables are just jealous.

@alliyah (and @wolfical)

Oh, I was thinking for a second that you were talking about like home fries or something.
Fried Potatoes and Onions
The blog that links to is one I've never read before but I might have to based on the title alone.

All other fried vegetables are just jealous.

And maybe/maybe not.

Yum that blog recipe looks good. How can you really go wrong with potatoes and onions though?

The blooming onion is a pretty popular "fair food" around here and the spiral fried potato is a similar delicacy. To be honest, I don't think I've ever had "fried squash"?
And I don't dislike fried tomatoes or okra but I would never willingly choose to purchase them if there were any other choices. XD
