Fried green tomato time.

[Ruth n Jersey]

At least once during tomato season I treat myself to fried green tomatoes. I wait until the end of the season and pick the small knobby ones that probably won't ripen anyway. I use egg and cornmeal for the coating. A little salt and pepper and they are ready to be fried. I use plain old corn oil with a bit of bacon fat added. Definitely not for the health conscious, but so delicious.

Yum! Brings back memories. I haven't had fried green tomatoes since I was a teenager, But I loved them.

Oh, yes!

Wonderful. They are a restaurant item almost year round in the south especially in small diner type places. I no longer make them myself but occasionally will order them in spite of how unhealthy they are. Yellow crook neck squash is good cooked the same way

Love them. That's the way I make them too.
