"Pickled." The word describes pickles, or any food that is pickled. These might include onions, cucumbers, any root vegetables, or olives flavoured with chillis.
Melokhia is related to okra and a member of the mallow family. The young shoots are harvested and stripped from the stalks and can be slimy when cooked, unless they are soaked and carefully squeezed beforehand.
Melokhia is a soup made from a leaf of the same name. It may contain mutton or chicken and will have cayenne and garlic and probably coriander (US: cilantro).
