Meal # 42 Fried Green Tomatoes


This is a great movie as well as a great healthy snack (snicker snicker). A good friend of ours, who has a super green thumb; brought me a sack full of green tomatoes. I have always loved the scene in the movie where the two main characters are in the kitchen and the one blond is trying to make friend green tomatoes and they end up having a food fight. It looked like so much fun! Unfortunately, I did not have a partner for this food venture but I did cook them up for a bunch of our youth from church. They were all eaten and many people tried them for the first time. That shows you that these people are not from the south or they would have long since sank their teeth into this salty, sour, warm goodness. I tried a couple of different batters but like just the plain flour with a little seasoning the best. I but some Parmesan in a couple but the flavor floated away in the oil. I am not sure if I had the batter really down but they tasted good. I think you should dip them in something like ranch to enhance the flavor but these were eaten naked! I think I need to use tomatoes 30 more times. Yikes!
