Now see, I am a big tomato eater, but I didn't know there were as many ways to prepare one of those suckers as there are to prepare shrimp!

He won't let me in the kitchen again while preparing these- I accidently threw out his tomato/sugar juice last time and he wasn't a happy cook.:(

There used to be a small restaurant in Vicksburg (just at the entrance of the Battlefield) that made the best fried green tomatoes.

Sometimes, when we were visiting family in Jackson, we'd drive over on a Saturday to get tomatoes for lunch! Mighty good eatin'!!

I think it's Mary Mahoney's or it may have been Chappy's on the Coast that had fried green tomatoes with lump crabmeat and crawfish on top. . . now that was some good stuff! :smt118

the first time i tried fried green tomatoes was this past year. my boss had treated me to lunch at crescent city grill, and she ordered some of them. not something i would have tried on my own, but she shared them with me, and they were AWESOME! they had some sort of cream sauce on top that was wonderful!

i always like to go eat w/her since she always orders things i've never tried and has me try them. i've learned that i like some things i never thought i would!

I had some fried maters tonight too. They are sooooo good. I will have to try adding milk to my recipe. I just use salt, pepper, and cornmeal. I always want them the first thing in summer.

There ain't nothing better in the summer. What did you have with them? Or did you just eat a platter of green tomatoes by themselves? LOL

When I have green fried tomatoes all I want is the tomatoes, sliced bread and a big glass of cold milk! Had some today and it was delicious! mmmmm goood! :)

Here's another Green tomato recipe thatI love- and it's healthy. I can gather most of the ingredients quickly out of my kitchen garden.

Dice and mix:

2 large Squash
1 Medium Zucchini
2 Medium Firm Green Tomatoes
I large Vidalia Onion
I Teaspoon minced Garlic
2 small banana peppers
Salt and Pepper to taste

In large cast iron skillet, cover bottom of pan with olive oil ( or bacon drippings). Heat skillet until it is VERY hot. Quickly add all ingredients and stir frequently.

Don't overcook, I like for my veggies to still have the slightest bit of crunch.

Yum!

oh I am craving fried green tomatoes for breakfast now!! haha

I do have a question... and I know, this may sound dumb- so please just humor me and let me know the answer...

okay, green tomatoes- are these just regular red tomatoes that have not ripened? or.... is there actually a seperate type of tomatoe that is a "green tomatoe" and will never turn red? you know, like green and red bell peppers.... do green and red tomatoes exist?

I've gotten several different answers from people.... I figured one of you smart folk could set me straight.

Walnut Circle Grill has great fried green tomatoes.. My batter always ends up falling off when I try making them. Any idea how to make it stay on?

I'm so proud the harvest is turning you into a group of raging vegetarians, if only for one meal.

I'm going to try to do some green tomatoes, but mess with the recipe a bit to make it a bit more healthful and vegan. I'll post my results and recipe here later on.

Hawkeye, which takes more work, growing a good garden or killing a deer?
