Gumbo pod (4)
I believe the answer is:
okra
'gumbo pod' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for okra that I've seen before include "Long green tropical vegetable" , "old ladies' fingers" , "Green pods, in stews" , "Bhindi or lady's finger" , "Pod eaten in soups, stews etc" .)
