Very close to mine - these are such a favorite of mine - thanks for posting this one - I grow tomatoes, just for the chance to make fried green tomatoes! If more Northerns (like me) actually knew how great these were, we'd never eat red tomatoes - lol


Oh yes, love these even in California.


Great recipe - and I loooove fried green tomatoes. You get a high 5 from me...thanks so much!

I am a big fan of Fried green tomatoes. This is the reason why.
