- Ice-T: My aunt used to try to make me eat this vegetable that was not made for human consumption. It's called "okra." It's slimy. It has a fur on it. And she wouldn't let me go out until I ate the okra. So I would throw it across the street into the sewer. I'm like, "I'm ready to go out." She'd say, "You eat that okra?" I'm like, "Um, I'm starting to like it."
