Sister Benincasa makes some good Gumbo, and her alligator sauce piquant taste like Jesus made it.
But BOILED okra and tomatoes is something I never had.
Brother Frank Harris told me a story once that turned me off so bad that when I went to preach at a church, and the pastor's wife cooked some. I didn't eat it. That for me was sacrilege, because number one rule I have is if a pastor's wife cooks it, I eat it. You go to preach for a church, and the pastor's wife is kind enough to cook for you, you eat it and smile with every bite. What saved me is that the pastor's wife cooked other things as well.
But I sure would like to try BOILED okra and tomatoes, and judge for myself

Boiling okra requires excellent timing. Not too long, not too quick. Not always easy.
Some people don't like boiled okra.
Personally, I don't care too much for fried okra. I can eat it but I'd never request it be made. And I don't eat boiled okra that often. BTW, my wife and kids like pickled okra.
Gumbo comes in two styles: gumbo, and GUMBO. gumbo is almost any kind of soupy beans, rice, meat, whatever, with some csjun/creole seasing. GUMBO is only made by experts, almost always natives of Louisiana or far southeast Texas, usually with thick southern Acadian-style accents....
