Fried Green Tomatoes--a hallowed gastronomic Southern delight!
I pick green, not pink, not slightly coloring, but GREEN tomatoes and hustle them in the house before a passing stranger sees what I have in my grubby paws and levels a 45 on me to steal my treasures. In the house--SAFE! Then I slice them very thin on my trusty mandolin slicer I got at Walmart for the bargain price of $12. As I slice them, I drop them in a bowl of ice cold water until all are sliced. I dredge them through stone ground whole corn, cornmeal. I place them on a plate until all the slices are covered in cornmeal. Then I fry them in an iron skillet in hot oil on HIGH. (true southerners only recognize 2 settings on a stove burner, OFF and HIGH) I fry them good and brown and crispy. We salt them and eat them all. Any other seasonings would get in the way.

I think FGT would be excellent in Chili,,and since we have had temps in the 30's here at night this week,,it's time for a big pot to be made.But for FGT to get that superb flavor they need to be fried.If already fried and put in chili they would turn to mush.I'm afriad if I cut them into 3/4" cubes they wouldn't taste good.Ever experiment and cook a slice of FGT on the weber gas or charcoal grill? Tatses NASSTY!!!
