Classic Fried Green Tomatoes





By Tincie, our helper from the deep south
As Tincie visited New York City as a tourist,
she crossed paths with William's friend Morty the Meat guy.
After hearing her accent, he asked her
if she had a good southern recipe so that he could use
up all of his green tomatoes that would not ripen
in his garden.
Thinking for a moment,
Tincie quickly wrote down this simple recipe
that had been passed on throughout her family for decades.
The next day Morty tried the recipe, and loved it.
As he took down the tunnels weekly meat allotment,
he also brought down a ton of green tomatoes
for William to fry up for the community.
Needless to say...everyone loved them.
Thank you Tincie for sharing!!!
