What are Fried Green Tomatoes?
Fried green tomatoes are a traditional side dish in the American South. This dish is also eaten in some Northern households, and it has crept its way into other corners of the world as well. When prepared well, fried green tomatoes are crisp, slightly tangy, and full of flavor. Like other fried foods, they are best when served hot, as they can taste greasy, cloying, or heavy when they are cold.
