Love this video. My mama taught me to cube the green tomatoes, cube a Vidalia onion, but to slice a yellow squash. Toss in a bowl firstly with salt and pepper and then with about 1/4 cup cornmeal. You can add a Tablesppon of flour, if desired. This is a WINNING combination. Fry it just as you did. We have this all summer long. Hope y'all try it!

[@davidbetsey2437]

You should season the tomatoes &/or the coating, but not the oil. You will kill somebody w/all that salt😵

[@TheSheltiegirl]

Oh my goodness love love love it lolol

[@SalLeeHolland]

I have lived in the North all my life. Love fried green tomatoes and bread tomatoes.

[@dianalester1351]

Love that you and Melissa converse during cooking.

[@joymitchell1991]

Fry sopme okra along sidevtge squash and green tomatoes. MMMMMM. Veggie meal.

[@KenG557]

I prefer fried green tomatoes that have just begun to turn red. They have a richer, more tangy flavor. Fried Green tomatoes are my very favorite fresh garden food.

[@susanb.1856]

As a Southern lady, If you mix corn meal in the flour, equal parts, the tomatoes will be nice & crispy. Yummy.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Thank you so much for watching and for your comment. We appreciate it

[@lindaruckman677]

Yes! Indeed Southerners Love Fried and Fresh Green Tomatoes and We also Love a Tomato , Mayo S&P SANDWICHES!! THAT SANDWICH IS ALL I NEED AT TIMES YUMMY😊

[@chrishoward450]

I love fried green tomatoes. I could eat 3 or 4 by myself.

[@MaryLWilks]

I just stumbled onto your videos and I just love your recipes and the cooking.❤

[@cjcj6945]

Them are some good lookin' Fried Green Mater's!👍🤠

[@kristawhitaker3162]

Loved this video. I have always fried mine in corn meal and often bacon grease. I have green tomatoes sitting on my counter now and will give this method a try!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Thanks, Krista. Hope you like them this way. We really appreciate that you've watched our videos. Hope you're enjoying the summer.

[@meatyhotpockets]

Exactly.

[@pamelaking9715]

I love a good fried green tomato! Yours look amazing! My Memaw and Mama made (not sure what it is called, we just referred to it as a fried vegetable medley. You cube potatoes, diced onion, green tomatoes, zucchini or yellow squash, as close to same size as possible. Start with potatoes first then add other veggies in. Fry slow until vegetables are tender but not mushy. Season with salt & pepper and just before we it finishes frying sprinkle with cornmeal. It is fresh and delicious! Ive read that it was just named "all" ? Anyway, of course best fried in bacon grease 😊

[@pamelaking9715]

😅 I forgot okra is added as well!! ( in the fried vegetable medley)

[@rogergoodland3140]

Bacon grease made EVERYTHING better!! Yum!

[@elaineb3215]

The first time I tried frying green tomatoes the flour wouldn't stick to them. I was wondering what I did wrong and now I realized that I missed a step which was dipping them in the beaten eggs first. Thank you again for this recipe. You're always cooking something I like.

[@sutownsend-kasmiskie3091]

My mom was born and raised in southern Arkansas. I loved my mom's cooking. I loved Fried Green Tomatoes! But I don't garden. Both my folks did😊. I watch your videos and have picked up some great tips and recipes. Thank you. Take care of each other.

[@ElizabethDeVore-bk8mh]

Hello Arkansas.. I'm from North Little Rock. My PawPaw had a huge garden and we did a lot of canning and freezing. MawMaw made really good tomatoes..she also used flour.

[@lightinside1968]

I am out west and tried my first fried green tomatoe about 5 yrs ago. I did not know what i had been missing! I now search out green tomatoes and do it just like you are ❤

[@KathyHardin-y1m]

I love fried green tomatoes my favorite thing to eat love them😁

[@Linda-eb3kn]

I put onion powder and sometimes garlic powder on mine. Every body loves them. Also, add a tablespoon of corn meal in mine. Love your show.

[@elizabethbaldwin8488]

Cornmeal n flour for me and cut in wedges. This is how a restaurant did it. Loved it. With a dipping dressing that was creamy/spicey. Yum

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We love fried green tomatoes! So glad to hear about your experience with them that you enjoyed so much. Hope you're having a great night. Thanks so much for watching our channel.

[@sueperry6776]

Tom if you will slice your tomatoes and pIace them on a cookie sheet... salt them and let them sit for a while it pulls some of the liquid from the tomatoes. Then do your breading They fry much better. And the salt soaks in the tomatoe instead of outside the tomatoe.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Interesting tip! Thanks so much for sharing that with us all. We really appreciate that you've watched our video.

[@Rebeccawilliams-pb1us]

Thank you for writing the recipe at the end of your video Melissa, much appreciated.

[@MargaretHurdle-j2f]

I love. Fried. Green tomatoes

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We do, too. They are great as an appetizer, as a side dish or even on top of a burger. So good!

[@jenjoy3215]

I totally get your preference of tomatoes that have NOT begun to ripen even slightly. They taste difference to me too! I had a huge garden back in the day and canned. We never fixed friend green tomatoes until the end of season when the heat was gone but still had green tomatoes in the vine. Those were the very best for frying. We also had a great pickling recipe for green tomatoes.

[@samirjafri191]

Grew up loving pickled green tomatoes. Still do. 🎉😊

[@peggynance9438]

I love green tomatoes they are so yummy. I have eaten these for years. I pray you keep sharing to help family's get back into cooking at home, and stop wasting so much money on fast food.

Fried green tomatoes with bacon AND pimento cheese sandwich is so good! Of course the pimento cheese is homemade 😊

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We love that combination. And homemade pimento cheese was our second video ever so you know we love it! Thanks so much for watching.

Yum Yum, i love fried green tomatoes! 💚💛🧡

[@jeanenebatt1482]

I put some pepper on mine. When I was a child my uncle made fried green tomato sandwiches with fried egg and a bit of mustard on top!

[@SalLeeHolland]

Sometimes I would add pepper or Italian seasoning. Yes I have eaten them with a fried egg Great minds think alike ;-)

[@normapitts9921]

Look so good

I love fried green tomatoes, battered in corn meal and flour and the dipped in ranch dressing. Thanks for the great video. 💓💓

[@ilovstodance]

love fried green tomatoes

[@susanrobinson408]

Funny how everyone does green tomatoes differently. In our area, (Indiana), we just use self-rising flour, salt, and pepper...no egg, no cornmeal. And I agree with your friend. I have to have a little bit of red on mine. All green tastes too 'green' to me! These look perfect. Now you are making my mouth water. I've only had one mess so far this year. These look so good!! A restaurant in our area serves that fried green tomato BLT. It is so tasty! I like mine on white Wonder Bread with butter and salt!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Absolutely, it's a matter of personal preference about what type of tomatoes to use. I will say that I have enjoyed a fried green tomato BLT sandwich before. Those are fabulous!

[@dianalester1351]

Tom, I am so impressed that you are Meticulous with cooking your recipes. I just know you cook delicious food.

Hello. Recently discovered your channel. You have some nice looking dishes!! I love fried green tomatoes, but couldn't get green tomatoes after the end of summer. I have discovered tomatillos are carried in my local grocery chain year round and they are very, very tart. I think you will love them since you don't care for green tomatoes that have a little pink inside. I love them fried like we do green tomatoes. Please try them; I think you will enjoy!!

[@pammarshall5298]

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We do, too! They are a great comfort food. Thank you so much for watching our channel.

[@samanthaknudson3084]

Yeah, we southerners take credit for these originally. 😊 However, the first time I had them was at Tamarack, the Arts and Crafts Center in WV. Our favorite fried green tomato restaurant closed, so I'm looking forward to making mine! We like ours with a spicy mustard sauce (Just mustard, tabasco, sour cream, and mayo). I hope you try it and like it! Thanks!

[@pattimickelson9861]

I absolutely like Is green tomatoes. I make them every fall and we eat them eat them

[@garybarton7262]

I just made some yesterday my egg wash is eggs with milk , I use the flour but for every cup of flour I put in two tablespoons of cornstarch helps make them crispier, and then I have another dry mixture of cornmeal yellow or white with Italian bread crumbs. So the way I do it is, flour ,egg wash then the cornmeal with the bread crumbs mixed in then I fry them.

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

Thank You Tom and Melissa ❤❤

Love fried green tomatoes. I agree, they're much better before they've started to turn. Fried green tomato and bacon sandwich sounds yummy!

After looking at your video - I went out and purchase some green tomatoes and I cooked them exactly like you did and they were excellent! Thank you for the recipe! By the way, I ordered that special ingredient for my meatloaf. I found it on Amazon and I am making meatloaf for my Sunday dinner. I will let you know how it came out. Keep cooking!!!!!!!

Original cooked green tomatos are from judea where they used matzo coating and roasted them :)

Cornmeal with your flour is a very nice addition.... adds texture. Plus, slice 'em thin and get them crisp.

Love fried green tomatoes. I add a little garlic salt and pepper also to my flour

I just wet mine with water and dredge in flour so it's not so heavy with flour. No salt and I add some butter to the oil. Then drain them on a cookie rack. Yours look great. I live in Mn, I get funny looks when I talk about fried green tomatoes 😀

[@cathylongstreth5405]

I think I must have been over frying and too hot a fire@; your grease looks a better Brown, and your tomatoes look lovely. I also never salted my tomatoes that much. These look fantastic! I ❤ fried green tomatoes! I have never used the egg, then flour...just been doing it all wrong! Always just used the blue package of Louisiana Fish fry.

Love fried green tomatoes, although I haven't made them in a while. Watching your video and reading the comments reminded me of a recipe I haven't made in years. Green tomato cake. My comments written on the page of my recipe reminded me of how delicious it is. Too bad I've had a hard time this year trying to find green tomatoes!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

I've never heard of a green tomato cake but it sounds great. The season has almost passed for getting a good green tomato, that's for sure! It's a shame we can't get good tomatoes (of any kind) all year long. But then again, maybe that's why we enjoy and appreciate them so much when we can.

[@kathynorton3191]

We have eaten fried green tomatoes all our lives and love them so much. We cook them just like you do and like them by themselves with no sauce. You just can't beat them with a summer meal. We, too, have made a meal out of fried yellow squash and fried green tomatoes on several occasions. Yum!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

It's kind of a southern comfort meal. It's delicious and we enjoy it so much. We appreciate that you are watching our channel. Have a great day!

My goodness did this bring back memories of my Mommy and I in the kitchen cooking. She cooked them exactly the same way as you did. She was a good cook. She learned from her Mother and I know she must have helped Grandma cook because there were 9 children. That’s a lot of mouths to feed.

I'm a new subscriber, originally grew up in eastern Kentucky. We moved to Atlanta for better jobs, but after all these years, my heart is still in the Kentucky mountains. I love your You Tube name. I agree with you no red for this recipe; the greener the better. I mix buttermilk in with the eggs. I made some for my late sister and she told me I cut them too thick. it never crossed my mind that people who wear dentures need them to be cut thinner.

[@ReneeOh]

I love fried green tomatoes! I also preserve them by canning them and they are a delicious meal in January lol. Sprinkle on some Parmesan cheese! Delicious!

[@SalLeeHolland]

I have eaten these since I was a kid (in my mid 70's now). Love them. It use to be you liked them or you didn't. However, since the Covid thing came out many people were trying to cook at home that never use to. They started gardening, and had a lot of tomatoes. So they tried them and now they are eating them. Thinking it's a new thing, but it isn't. It's an old dish a little tart, but I think they thought it would taste more like a red tomato. Now I am hearing that many more like the fried ones! I have never tried a GFT sandwich with bacon before, just always just had the fried as a side dish. Never dipped it in a sauce, as I liked them just as they are fried. Love from Western, N.Y.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

It was great hearing from you. We are always so tickled to try something we thought we wouldn't care for and then like it. Like the folks you described during the pandemic who tried FGT for the first time and found them to their liking. It's a wonderful moment for the taste buds! We appreciate that you are joining us from Western NY.

[@joannreynolds1842]

I like to mix cornmeal with the flour. It adds just a little more crunch i think. Thank you for posting this. Love all of your videos!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Thank you so much. The cornmeal is going to do exactly what you said and add a bit of a crunch. It's all about personal preference. We can enjoy them prepared both ways. Thank you so much for watching our videos. We really do appreciate it.

[@DebadooCreates]

I just finished supper but now I'm hungry for fried green maters! I do about 3 parts corn meal to 1 part flour & fry them in bacon grease. But I'm with you, the greener the better. And YESSSS to the bacon mater "sammiches" hehehe. I wish so bad I had a gas stove. I miss that so much. Years ago I was watching a friend of mine's kids while they went on a cruise. I had the kids run out to the garden and pick me some green tomatoes & I fried em up. 2 of the 3 kids loved em, the other one not so much. I considered that a success.
