fried green tomatoes

I must remember for next year that this recipe was NOT a success. Of all the things I've tried to do with end-of-season green tomatoes, this was in fact the least successful of all. Much better to make a green tomato chutney or mincemeat. The breading was nasty and so was the tomato inside. Very disappointing.

Tomatillos, on the other hand, make a great salsa from the green stage. I guess it's just a sad fact that green tomatoes have so little flavour it's almost impossible to do anything with them that doesn't involve mixing with a lot of other, more highly flavoured ingredients.

As I recall, I didn't think much of the movie, either...
