Well back to the pickles talk, I'm from eastern europe, we like everything pickled.
I took my mom shopping last week, went to a euro deli, man they had so much stuff! Among many things, I picked up pickled tomatoes. Oh so good!

Pickled okra is something my son got me to try and, surprisingly, it was pretty good.

I don't think I ever ate okra, let alone pickled okra, but yes I'm sure pickled okra is great. The only pickled thing I don't like is herring, pickled fish. Ughh, hate it!

I've eaten a ton of it. We used to raise it; Sharn Jean canned it. Love it; besides keeps you regular. Love it fried, and in my stew.

I can't find okra out here

is that a slice of onion at the bottom?

That is a generic picture I found on the internet; apparently it's a slice of lemon.

There are quite a few recipes on the internet. As I recall, Sharn Jean's pickled okra contained garlic, but no onion or lemon.

If you're serious about finding okra, if you have Walmart there, they can probably order it for you or you can get it through Amazon or other internet sources. My daughter, who lived in Michigan for a couple of years, said okra and raw peanuts were almost impossible to find that far North.
