After years of wondering what they taste like i finally made them according to this recipe= http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/frie...matoes-1/print
While they came out looking good with a nice crispy crust no one in the family liked them, i'm guessing its an acquired taste that i wont be making again to acquire that taste.
I've heard that about fgt before. A regional traditional food that doesn't actually taste all that great.
I'm wondering if it was a Depression-era food that came out of not being able to wait for a tomato to ripen? I'm not sure. Tomatoes have too much water to fry anyways.
The recipe you linked definitely looks bland. If you try it again, season that breading up! And be sure to have a good homemade dressing to serve with them.
They don't really stand alone--you need something with them. They're good on a sandwich, too.
A local restaurant fries them and serves them on a freshly roasted tomato sauce, then tops them with fresh lump crab meat. I keep meaning to make some like that.
I've had fried green tomatoes all over the south. Sometimes they're bland and boring, sometimes they're absolutely wonderful. Some of the best have been served with a remoulade. We make them on occasion, but we blanch them before frying.

I agree; that recipe does look bland. And this thread reminds me that I haven't made fried green tomatoes this year! I love that tangy flavor.
