Thanks! I have a Yankee friend coming for a visit and she said she has always wanted to have them since seeing the movie years ago. She seems to think we must serve them at every cafe here in the South and I don't want to disappoint her. 4951
I'm Yankee, and we had them at home growing up. Never knew they were supposed to be a Southern thing. Not every makes them the same and not everyone's are good. Tomatoes grown in Michigan taste different than the ones I've bought here. 4951
Love the movie- hate the dish!!Yeah I didn't know it was a southern thing either- my Mom was born in Idaho and made them all the time- and she made us eat them. Why the heck anyone would take a perfectly good tomato and pick it before it's time just to fry it is beyond me. Lol growing up I thought green tomatoes were special ( nasty tasting) tomatoes. 4951
@soxs mom: I would recommend Potato Patch then... She would really get a taste of the "Texas Experience" by going there... She would either love it or think we were all nuts!! 4951
