Same here...
I like fried okra, but I've worked with guys before that tried it, and apparently not suspecting the taste or texture, horked it immediately into their napkins... "wtf is that, man?" 🤮
I took an avocado sliced it like fries froze it then oven baked it with olive oil. Tasted like fries, was good with ketchup and salt. Inspired by this thread, I also tried to deep fry some cooked and chilled pasta it was a very greasy splattering experience but amazing with salt. Another tasty alternative deep fried balls of rice, I used sushi rice.
