[HNL HI]

If it's a fresh slice then it adds some mild acidity to an otherwise fatty/carby meal

I'm saying in the pic posted, I like tomato but why's it on top like that

I’ve only had FGT once and thought they were good, not great. But they weren’t from a place that specializes in Southern cooking, so I’ll probably try them again some time.

place that used to be in downtown oakland called pican
had great fried green tomatoes dish
it was a southern food spot
they acted all fancy
they closed down
and opened a place in hayward called plate or playte
cant remember how they decided to spell it
but they brought over almost the same menu

Not that it gets mentioned much in here, but in case anyone goes to Jimmy John’s

FDA accuses Jimmy John's of serving vegetables linked to E. coli and salmonella outbreaks — CNN

The US Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning letter to the Jimmy John's sandwich chain, saying certain vegetables it served were implicated in five outbreaks of E. coli or salmonella in the past seven years.

Never had em

Is this regional? Cultural?

DCAllAfrican please feel free to chime in

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Any random fried item is #Regional in my book.

I think of the South when it comes to frying foods that make it a waste of calories.

FGT is a waste of calories.

I would prefer pickled green "tomatoe's" if I have to eat a green tomato.

 

[mplsdunk]

FGT with home made ranch is good. They are ok. Not gonna go out of my way for them.

That is a personal preference but other than a few root vegetables, I think frying certain veggies are pointless.

A fried tomato ain't worth the calories .

Again, my personal belief.

Still looks like it would be on the cover of "Midwest Cooking Today."

Lacks color

 

[jape]

fried green tomatoes are fire
not sure why frying things are a waste of calories
is butter a waste of calories then?

How do you feel about grilled vegetables? I felt the char on those Brussel Sprouts I posted the other day was excellent. Do you care about char on veggies too?

Char on veggies are solid when they are grilled.

Sorry I originally put this in TAN by accident thanks for the heads up youngogjosh :

nawghtyhare i tried your sampling method a few moments ago. 2 pieces of cake actually and I left the rest by the gold fish for other ppl to sample. The cake was good. A little too tangy, but good. I would’ve brought it, but that wouldn’t have been considered sampling.
