    Love fried green tomatoes! Lots of variations to make them. My Momma would slice them and salt and pepper them, dip them in egg, flour and cornmeal mixed, fry them and very lightly sprinkle them with sugar while they were hot They were awesome! At the end of the gardening season, after canning the ripe ones, she prepared them to get, layered them between pieces of waxed paper, put them in air tight containers and froze them... We had them all winter long. ❤

    I cooked these today (all green because that’s how my mama did it). I dredged them in flour (even though I love corn meal). They were perfect and crunchy. Tasted like my mama’s used to. A great and easy way to fry them. Maybe next time I will use tomatoes that are beginning to turn and try the corn meal method. Thanks for showing us both ways.💝

    I'm new to your channel and after watching five or six of your videos I subscribed, I just love the way you make your videos it's down home warm friendly Southern hospitality and cooking what I like most is when you make a mistake you don't edit it out you leave it in there and it makes the video real the same mistakes I would make if I was cooking at my own house like dropping something on the floor that was funny. It's a real pleasure watching your videos. I like the recipe done two different ways side by side.
