Fried green tomatoes is definitely a southern thing. We love them and our Mom has been making these for us forever. They are good for a side dish, an appetizer or in a sandwich. We love to make a BLT and substitute red tomatoes for fried green tomatoes. We also like to add avocada. To make it even better slap some dill mayo (recipe follows) on it and you got one good sandwich. YUM YUM! My mouth is watering. I hope you enjoy!
