P.S. If you’ve never tried fried green tomatoes, your missing a real treat. The first time I tried them, I thought I’d be venerating at the porcelain alter…NOT! I ate every one and then made more… The natural juices in the tomato produce a wonderful semi sweet coating… Try them…just once…then try with the batter !
