The only time I ate them, they were cut very thick, and I was not a fan. I think I will try using your suggestion of cutting them thinner. I have all of the ingredients and certainly have some green tomatoes on the vine.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06857505237519700418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-68902565152664715902014-07-19T14:38:09.838-04:002014-07-19T14:38:09.838-04:00I adore fried green tomatoes!

I've also had them served with remoulade sauce in New Orleans. Yummy!Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113928043039917799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-29816374101752253082014-07-18T15:21:24.229-04:002014-07-18T15:21:24.229-04:00Thanks for posting this recipe!

I looked everywhere for green tomatoes, but you couldn't find them anywhere in that asphalt jungle! I even had my new boyfriend scouring the city for me. He ended up ordering green tomatoes from FL so she could get her birthday wish! She was super happy, and he ended up becoming my husband less than a year later. It's the little things. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321320225921107392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-91491553864879450792014-07-15T21:57:58.468-04:002014-07-15T21:57:58.468-04:00Since I am a Southern gal too, I understand the lo...Since I am a Southern gal too, I understand the love affair with FGT. A local restaurant features FGTBLT with both the fried green and the red ripe together. It is just about heaven on bread. I am with you with the side dish for a veggie plate. We are a squash and onions, lady peas, sliced tomatoes, fried green tomatoes, and okra family. And of course the cornbread is mandatory but it's not sweet!<br />Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-38426629347742796342014-07-15T20:11:00.719-04:002014-07-15T20:11:00.719-04:00Do you pick them dead green or when they have a te...Do you pick them dead green or when they have a teeny hint of pink in a few spots? I know that on the blossom end of tomatoes when they show a white star like design that means they will get red if you pick them and wait. Some say they like the teeny bit of pink and some like them dead green green and hard as rocks. Thanks for the hint on the different ways of cutting them for frying. I had never seen that mentioned. Oh am I hungry now! I usually pick them when they are just at that light green stage that is turning into pink soon. Excuse me while I go and search the garden!! :-) SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
