Gooey vegetable (4)
I believe the answer is:
okra
'gooey vegetable' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for okra that I've seen before include "Lady's fingers; gumbo; bhindi" , "Ladies' fingers with edible pods" , "Bhindi, gumbo or ladies' fingers" , "Edible seed pods" , "Long green tropical vegetable" .)
