What should I do with a single lady's finger?

A strange enough title, and perhaps in a different context the answer might be, “Why, offer to place a ring on it forthwith.”
However, let me explain the situation.
In the spring I bought a packet of okra seeds (okra is also known as lady’s fingers or gumbo). Although I had heard of this plant, I had never grown or eaten it before.
I planted the seeds, and a few came up, only to die off a few weeks later due to a lack of proper attention. However, yesterday I did stumble across one survivor. It was a plant with a single stubby fruit about three inches long. What should I do with it?

Take a photo of it and send it to Sunak :joy:

I think it needs some friends…

Slice up a courgette and make some tempura batter and do them both

Or equally make fish and chips and do a beer battered okra as the side dish (but a bit hot for that!)

Or veg casserole
