Fried Green Tomatoes

[Guest guest]

i've heard that you can pickle green tomatoes, the same way you can pickle

cucumbers... although i'm not sure if you'd *want* pickled green tomatoes...

--Bethany,

 

Can flour be used instead of cornmeal? I am not real fond of cornmeal

although I keep it in stock and eat it from time to time (just to make sure it's

not one of my favorites! <LOL>) Anyway, I have tried just dusting them in flour

and haven't been happy with the results - which usually seemed to come off into

the bottom of my pan!

 

Also, a note about any recipes that I submit - I rarely, if ever, add salt to

my cooking so it y'all like the taste of salt, please feel free to add it. This

is just a quirk of mine - and some people find my food too " bland " (which is

putting it " politely? " ))

 

By the way, I'm in KY, too! GO WILDCATS!!!
