I think that like you, I have always been a fairly adventurous eater. I do credit my parents for that because they had a rule that I have carried on to my own son, who will now eat most anything without complaint. The rule was/is that you must eat at least one bite of something served at meal time, even if you thought you wouldn't like it. That way we learned to try things and learned to appreciate more things at a younger age. There are some things I learned to like MORE as an adult, but overall I've always pretty much been ok with trying and eating new things. I think one thing that really has grown on me over time is brussels sprouts. I love them now and when I had them as a child I remember thinking they really were horrible.
I've only had fried okra, no other kind. I can see how it could become pretty slimey if it wasn't cooked correctly.
