Okay, so I know they are "bamje" in Albanian. But I often get asked by visitors what the name is in English and I have no idea.
In fact I have never seen them in the supermarkets in the U.K.
Anyone able to help me?
Thanks!

That horrid thing is also known as Okra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okra), bamje comes from Arabic.
Thanks,
Now I know - OKRA.
...and I have just found a web site dedicated to it.

Though for me, it is the only vegetable that I don't really like. It can be like eating cardboard!
I can't believe this....
a song for OKRA....by Roy Blount jnr.

"Okra's green,
Goes down with ease.
Forget cuisine
Say "Okra , please."
You can have strip pokra,
Give me a nice girl and a dish of okra. "
That song is actually worse than eating okra!
it's also called "lady fingers".
BAMJE
I hate bamje....bllak :s
