Southerners really do eat fried green tomatoes; and they eat fried red tomatoes too. If you haven’t tried them, you’re in for a treat!
Native to Mexico and Central America, it’s not clear how tomatoes came to the United States. Thomas Jefferson grew them in the 1780s and credited one of his neighbors with the introduction, but Harriott Pinckney Horry recorded a recipe “To Keep Tomatoes For Winter Use” in 1770. There is a folk legend that they were introduced by African slaves who came to North America by way of the Caribbean, and some historians believe that the Portugese introduced tomatoes to the West Coast of Africa.
There are plenty of ways to coat and fry your tomatoes; use bread crumbs, cracker crumbs, cornmeal, or flour. Some people dip them in beaten eggs before dredging, while some just dredge then fry. Salt and pepper them first, and use a little bacon grease for flavor if you have it.
Choosing and Storing Ripe Tomatoes
Home-grown tomatoes are usually the best, but if you have to buy them, look for firm ones and pay attention to the fragrance. White specks mean they have been forced to ripen with gas. If you have an abundance of good fresh tomatoes, freeze them whole. Just wash, dry, and put them in freezer bags. They’ll retain their flavor, and once thawed the peel will slip off easily. Use them in any recipes calling for fresh tomatoes except salads.

If you don’t want to mix your own ingredients, we developed a batter mix that makes perfect fried green tomatoes every time. Find the batter mix at WhistleStop Cafe website We find that using a hot oil will actually make the tomatoes crispy, but not greasy. We also like to fry other things…try some dill pickle slices while you have the mess out!
Love fried green tomatoes, and we eat them almost daily as a snack and/or side dish every summer (with 12-14 varieties I plant each summer and a family of 5, we always have tons of green ones available). Here are a few recipes I use, and I do use a few to change-it-up a bit because we eat them so frequently. Craving a plate-full now!

I just mix equal parts corn meal and all purpose flour together in a shallow pan with a little salt, pepper and cayenne pepper (you can leave it out, but I like the kick). Then crack an egg or two into another shallow pan and add a little milk. Slice the tomatoes 1/4 inch thick and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess water. Dip the tomato slices into the egg, then into the corn meal/flour mixture to coat. Immediately place into a pan with hot oil in it and cook till they are golden on both sides. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the oil off.
I went to a restaurant a lttle while ago and they had a BLT with fried green tomatoes instead of the regular onesand it was delicious. You may want to try it if you like bacon.
