A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Cindy Faye - to fry or not to fry

Do you EVEN have to ASK that question??????

Silly girl--of course you fry---and soon so that it will not be kinda green.

if you were closer I would insist you 'share' .--lucky for you that you are too far away to do that.

I would share of course. There's plenty more where that came from.

I can 'see' right now, I am going to have to 'raid' my dad's garden.

I can taste the 'fried green tomatoes' now---Yum !!!

fry, of course! carol has it right

That's what I'm sayin'..!!!!

me too, me too!


Fry one for me too!


Merme *drooling*

I've never had a fried green tomato before...:lala:

I haven't either Kenny!

They are wonderful, Kenny. Sliced, seasaoned, beaded and fried---just wonderful!

1 I think that may be my lunch tomorrow---but now to find some green tomatoes----

I had fried green tomatoes last nite Mmmmmmm so dang good,
best eating there is,

(has anyone caught on that I LOVE fried green Tomatoes????)

No, but we'll try ........................

Holy

I've never beaded mine - maybe next season.

What does beaded mean??

OK ladies---so I cannot type---hey---I have not ever claimed I was perfect.

the word is BREADED--ok???

I really thought I was missing out on something because I had not heard for beaded! Didn't even think of it being breaded!

What does breaded mean , mean?/
Or are we playing a game?????

I'm polish.no compish

well Dodge, with tomatoes, First I make a bowl of either milk, or milk and an egg blended together. then in another bowl I put some flower and I either season the flower OR I seasone the tomatoes slices later.

then after the bowls of 'stuff' are ready, I dip each slice in whatever liquid I have prepared. then I dredge the 'wet' tomato slices in the flour--now I fry them in either hot oil, melted shortening, or lard.
That is what I mean by breaded.

(if I do not season the flour I salt & pepper the tomato slices after I dip them in the milk or milk egg wash.


when they are done, I have a brown bag covered with paper towel ready and I drain them on that. This is the time I put additional seasoning on them......but then I love my salt.

others may use 'batters' to bread, before frying but that is what I do.

gee I am hungry for them---

we use half flour and half cornmeal (or cornbread mix)...instead of straight flour. oh, and I've found using plastic baggies for the wet and dry mixtures is less messy than using bowls. just a preference/opinion.

I do something of that nature.......Only i dip in milk, and put wax paper across my bowl with flour..

I understood breaded, but I didnt understand MEAN BREADED.

THOUGHT it mean beads/

Call the little brown truck.

Quacking up.. Thats what the duck said when it tripped and fell.

My Aunt (originally from West Virginia) used to make the best fried okra with that mix. I can still taste i t----I wish she were alive to make me some.

and yes, I agree it would make it less messy to use bags.--thanks for the tip

Carol convinced me try them last year. I didn't care for them...but I don't like raw tomatoes. I think I didn't cook them enough.

Tamara, you probably cut them too thick and tehn didn;t like the mushy taste of the tomato. cut very thin they are like a chip cut less than 1/4 but a very bit more than 1/8 they cook up but are not so mushy when done. thye are like eating a tangy french fry.

Yup, raw tomatoe texture grosses me out.

Oh, I guess I'll have to retry them. I'm sure I cut them a half inch thick when I done them

We dont like them green.

Were having fun eating Zucchini slice thin, with onions, and fresh peppers.
We just love them.. No breading.
Butter the pan and brown a little and put the lid on top and let them steam till soft......wow.

Now I must go and Pickle my Beets..
Picked yesterday........
Tamara your season amazes me......You have less summer, but your doing the same things I am canning time???????Strange huh?

I knocked oiff a green one picking a red one, so I'll be frying that baby up with some okra yummy

Yuk

When I fry chicken I bread it with egg, milk and flour too. I don't bread okra though. I get the olive oil hot and just dump in the slices. It's good plain.

I made fried green tomatoes for my youngest DD and her Dh and my oldest DD's husband. Val does not eat veggies as a rule--

((A few of them 'fell' into my mouth as well ))

i really enjoyed that last sentence......

I aim to please, Dodge.
