ckreef Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Good 1st attempt but next time go even greener. No red in the middle, will be even sweeter. (sort of opposite what you would expect) If I can score a few more boxes will send you another one next time I send something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Ora Posted December 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 I was amazed at the sweetness doubt I will be able to get any greener than these though lolSent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 I can see I'm going to have a new use for green tomatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fried green tomatoes are a southern traditional food. If you've never had them they are surprisingly sweet. The greener the better. In the spring they actually sell green tomatoes in the grocery stores where I live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 One of the best parts of tomato season!! FGTs with remoulade - doesn't get any better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckreef Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Look what I found in the grocery store today. Should go good with hamburgers tonight instead of French fries. As we were walking out of the store I mentioned to Susan, "Christmas is over, high 70's, green tomatoes in the grocery store, spring is just around the corner!" We went and got ice cream cones before heading home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckreef Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Let's just totally hijack this thread (sort of anyway - sorry Aussie - LOL). Here is what I'm talking about - sliced thin green tomatoes. Made some Australian All Star American Burgers - I have to source from Australia to get an American burger - just cracks me up - but they were some of the best burgers I've cooked in a while. The green tomatoes fried up - would rather have these than French fries. So tonight at the Bistro we had a fried green tomato debate - sweet or sour (like dill pickles). I was in the sweet camp. Mrs skreef and Hawke were in the sour camp. They ended up convincing me but sour like dill pickles except no vinegar twang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 FGTs look great, Charles! Wish that I had a plate full right now. Would give me a glimmer of hope that Spring really isn't 4 months away here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
