Talk:Fried green tomatoes (food)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As a Southerner, I can tell you that Fried Green Tomatoes are NOT traditionally considered to be a breakfast dish. They are usually served as a side dish at supper. I have heard of them occasionally being served for breakfast, but not by Southerners. I changed this to simply say that they are a side dish. BettyAnn 08:59, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

think anybody could find a picture of these? as a non-american, i've never seen what they look like, and am curious. 80.179.37.23 17:29, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unripe tomatoes or something else?

I recall reading that "green tomatoes" in the southern USA sometimes refers to a a different vegetable which resembles green tomatoes in appearance, rather than unripe tomatoes. Is this true? --Singkong2005 · talk 12:49, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I think tomatillos are sometimes called "green tomatoes". Interestingly, that article says that unripe (regular) tomatoes can be poisonous and should not be eaten. Is this recipe dangerous? —Angr 09:14, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

That article says that unripe tomatillos are NOT unripe regular tomatoes, and that the unripe tomatillos should not be eaten because they are toxic. Unripe regular tomatoes are perfectly fine, and the fried green tomato recipe is not dangerous in any way. BettyAnn 03:15, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recipe...

This whole article is essentially a recipe, which Wikipedia is not. If you're familiar with this topic, please clean it up. Isopropyl 03:05, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
