My Grandma Ross used to cook (WV) Fried Green Tomatoes and here sister in law, my Great Aunt Pearl fixed (WV) Fried Green Tomatoes and I was engaged to a lovely young lady in Mississippi once whose mom used to cook (MS) Fried Green Tomatoes. Read more Funny thing is that these three dishes had just two things in common; tomatoes and a cast iron skillet. Truth be known, I like them all. My Great Aunt Pearl’s Chicken fried Green Tomatoes were pretty heavy and my least favorite so I’ll skip those. You know how to Chicken Fry anyway. See less
