ReplyDeleteThat's a good thoughts!

ReplyDeleteThanks!

ReplyDeleteI love tomatoes, and I love fried green tomatoes a lot. Never thought it could taste so good.
DeleteI made fried green tomatoes once and they were great! But serving them with cornbread is an even better idea! :D
ReplyDeleteThat's hot they serve it here in the South: catfish, cornbread, fried green tomatoes...
DeleteIt looks so yummy! All that for 35 cents?
ReplyDeleteYes, in 1929 :)
DeleteAlthough I didn't go to the Whistle Stop Cafe fried green tomatoes were the first food I went out of my way to find when I visited the south of the US a few years ago. Really enjoyed them too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it in the restaurant, only homemade. I am sure they taste very good.

ReplyDeleteI've learned of fried green tomatoes from the book "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle stop cafe" some years ago. And then I tried some fried green tomatoes at the party and really liked it. I've been making it since... (when I can find green tomatoes).
DeleteI'm adding another wow...looks mouthwatery..:)

Deleteok, dumb question. Is the Whistle Stop Cafe a real place? Loved the movie Fried Green Tomatoes, and something about this food reminds me of Summer.
ReplyDeleteThere is a Whistle Stop Cafe in Irondale, Alabama that they claim to be original. I love the movie, bit I love the book even more. I've read the book several times and in two different languages...:)
Deletegood idea, simple and yummy :)
