My laptop is out for repair :( so I haven't been able to post as much without being able to upload photos, but I found this old shot of fried green tomatoes that I never got around to posting. I've never actually had green tomatoes - fried or unfried - nor have I seen the movie but I decided to give it a shot. These crispy disks of tart green tomatoes were great with lemon squeezed on top, or even dipped in marinara sauce. I guess I need to go see the movie now! Any recommendations?
Thrifty note
This small rectangular plate is from a local thrift store and I believe is hand painted. It's so blue and pretty, isn't it?

yum!! I've been thinking a lot about fried green tomatoes lately... I'm impatient and don't want to wait for the ones in my garden to turn red! (plus with all this talk about blight I'm better off picking them now while there's still unaffected, right?)
total summer favorite - make napoleans with mozzarella, basil and marinara - mmmmmmmmmmm
I've been planning to try fried green tomatoes myself because my friend said they usually have it at home as a side dish to fried chicken.
A delicious dish! I have to try that one day...
A pretty plate!
Cheers,

fried green tomato parmesean? would be a great dish...
I've never had fried green tomatoes, though, I'd love too. The movie is super, watch it!
I too have never tried fried green tomatoes, hmm drizzled with lime sounds delicious!
i'm not sure how these came to be considered such a magical creation, but indeed they are. i could eat my weight in them without regret. :)
Ive always wanted to try these - yours look amazing :)
Oh, they look delicious. I love fried green tomatoes...and yes, definitely rent the movie, it's a good one! Or read the book...I think it's called something else, though...WhistleStop Cafe or something along those lines. :D
I have never had fried green tomatoes either. I love that plate. I frequent thrift stores for treasure hunts:-), like this ..
These are gorgeous, I love fried green tomatoes! The movie is good too, I would definitely recommend it.
I love fried green tomatoes but for some reason I've never made them at home. The last time I've had fried green tomatoes was in Savannah and that was a while ago. I must have some soon!
I have never had fried green tomatoes...though I have watched the movie :) Now I must try them...yours look so tempting!
Oh.My.
Yummy!
Looks every inch a delicious bite.
Wouldn't have thought it was just tomatoes. I must admit my imagination ran wild and I was thinking it was a tomato/cheese fried sandwich.
Grin.
Yes, I'm a tad hungry...
Never seen the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes"....my oh my! You need too, it's great:) Now my favorite way to eat green tomatoes is pickled. Yummy!
They look really great! Makes me wanna go look for green tomatoes in my area :D
I've never had fried green tomatoes. But it sure looks good. Love the plate.
Very pretty plate indeed :)
I've never had these tomatoes myself... butthey're deep-fried, how bad can they be?! The movie... ehhh, not a huge fan... toooooo looooong!!!!
I just found your beautiful blog, and am loving it! You're amazing in a thrift store, so if you're ever in NYC, let me know and I'll let you take me around to our famous second hand shops ;-)
Let's see now --- I am 67 years old, and I have been eating corn-meal breaded, fried green tomatoes for about 60 of those years.
And, they just keep getting better.
But in Texas, we have a hankerin' for good food.
Loved your post.
These look amazing! Gosh, you make food look good!!!
Those look SOOO good! I've never had them with lemon - have to try that. The Whistlestop Cafe, which actually does exits, has a blog if you are interested.
I've never made fried green tomatoes before, but I need to, yours look so good!
This dish is summer on a (very pretty, very thrifty) plate.
Hey there,
This looks great. I absolutely fried green tomatoes. They taste amazing on a fried egg sandwich. YUM!!
Yes, that plate is very pretty.
i guess i've never been that tempted to make or try these before, but you gorgeous photo just changed my mind
I have also never tried them, but when I saw green tomatoes at the farmer's market recently I was tempted to try to fry them. Maybe if there are green tomatoes this week I'll have to give in. Dipping them in marinara sauce sounds yummy!
I'll add my name to the growing list of folks who have not tried these. Your post has inspired me to give them a go.
The movie is cute, I'd recommend it. And I'd definitely eat those fried green tomatoes!!!
I remember the movie...but never had fried green tomatoes...sounds and looks yummie.

have a nice weekend!
cheers!!
