Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 There is a restaurant called 'Folks Restaurant' (formerly called 'Po' Folks Restaurant) who sells a absolutely delicious serving of fried green tomatoes with a mildly spicy ranch dressing-like sauce. It is truly delicious. Check it out. I think that 'Folks Restaurants' are mostly in the southern United States. --- On Mon 09/20, GeminiDragon < thelilacflower > wrote: GeminiDragon [ thelilacflower] Mon, 20 Sep 2004 17:02:34 -0700 (PDT) Re: [recipe] Fried Tomatoes with Polenta Crust <html><body> <tt> That sounds delicious, I sure have a hard time finding under ripe hard firm tomatoes here though.<BR> Donna<BR> <BR> ~ PT ~ <patchouli_troll wrote:<BR> This recipe is so delicious.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 That's cool; i've never heard of those restaurants before, nor have i seen fried green tomatoes on any menu... but then i grew up in NY and now reside in Oregon. If i ever venture south i will look for them. ~ pt ~ The person who has no inner life is the slave of their surroundings. ~ Henri Frederic Amiel ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~> , " Bill Beckwith " <tinygnome@e...> wrote: > There is a restaurant called 'Folks Restaurant' (formerly called 'Po' Folks Restaurant) who sells a absolutely delicious serving of fried green tomatoes with a mildly spicy ranch dressing-like sauce.
