Cooking Fried Green Tomato

[dragonriversteel]

Walther, Again a thoughtful minded video,because believe it or not some folks have never heard of fried green tomato's. I have and have forgotten how just darn good they are. So, folks should try this Southern treat,you'll be glad you did.

[pwalpar]

Thanks my friend. I dont think I have ever heard anyone who tried them they didn't like it

[84gail84]

wow!! look so taste!!! just a question, they are 'green' cause is a special type of tomatoes, or cause they re just 'immature'? thanks a lot for the video!!!!

[pwalpar]

They are ordinary tomatoes that just have not ripened yet once they turn red they are too soft to fry

[pwalpar]

Thanks for commenting

[fsx767]

[pwalpar]

[JohnnyNCindy]

I’ve heard about Fried Green tomatoes all my life and only just had them a few months ago.

I had some late tomatoes come that were all green, but huge. A cold spell was coming in with snow expected so I picked all those green tomatoes and fried them. They were so good that I just can’t believe I never had them before.

[pwalpar]

I am glad you tried them. They are good No doubt about it Thanks for commenting

[2011Maynard]

Pwalpar you are a man of many talents - I tuned in for another of your excelllent train videos and got to see your fine cooking skills instead. Wonder who the one grumpy buggard is that disliked this - gotta be an unhappy soul not to like green fried tomatos. Keep up the fine work and thanks for sharing ....

[pwalpar]

Thanks my friend. I am kinda of A jack of all trades LOL

[sweetangelahot]

you had no mercy on that butter when you threw it in the pan, lol. love this recipe. thanx

[pwalpar]

LOL, Thanks for watching, maybe I have watched Emerald too much.

[Pattycakessmiles]

Yours looked so good I had to try them your way. They were great..nice tip about pre salting them to get out the moisture! I had never done them in butter before, but thought the flavor would be great, so I tried it...wonderful! I had to make several pansful and did not want my butter to burn so I added a tad of oil to make the butter burn slower, but the butter flavor did come thru nicely. Thanks so much.

[pwalpar]

I thank you for those kind words, I'm glad you liked them. Your right the butter can burn, i was so busy trying to work the camera I almost burned the second batch, I will add some oil next time. Thanks for watching my video.

[tabitie]

Nice visuals, slow and methodical so I could follow. Looks tasty too.

[pwalpar]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment Appreciate the compliment

[Ohiorailfan]

That looks real good!!!

[pwalpar]

[iusetano]

You made me hungry Walter.*****

[pwalpar]

Thanks thats quite a compliment to me

[TooTiredTeacher]

I lovvvve Fried Green Tomatoes. You get 5 stars from the TooTiredTeacher. I have to go out and get me some tomatoes. Thanks :)

[pwalpar]

Your very welcome. Thats the best compliment I could possably get, thanks

[TheBrassHole]

Walter I don't have to use egg right?

[pwalpar]

No, you don't have to use egg. You can if you want to. Some people use egg. it just make a thick browner crust. I like it better just using flour. Theres no set rule. Experiment a bit. Add what ever seasoning you may want. I just dont like to hide the taste of the tomato.

[amyjames9599]

hey dad send this video to food network ya never know you could be the next food network star.. nice video see ya later

[pwalpar]

Oh yea- That would be something. Not likely to happen though

[okiebill1948]

Great video, Walter!! 5 stars!! Can you email me and Kathy some of those tomatoes?

[pwalpar]

I somehow doubt the email versions would have much taste. If I could email them I surely would though,.Thanks for watching bill

[ervans]

Great video Walter, I think you try to make me hungry, rabbits, Geese, Ducks and now green tomatos, I love them. Mine aren't big enought yet.

[pwalpar]

Thanks Ervan, Glad it made you hungry. Thats a compliment on my video

[pwalpar]

Michael, Theres always the thrill of doing it yourself. LOL Nothing ventured nothing gained , You would like them I think. Thanks for watching

[ADMIRALSCORNER]

Ever since i saw that film I have been wondering just what sort of meal this would be . Now I know! Thanks for the experience! It all looks very appetising! Pitty we cant try a sample on Youtube!

[togreektown]

Used to eat them as a kid they are great Walter but in the city they are hard to find.

Your using a good old iron pan the best!

pot roast in the slow cooker top notch!

Now if you could catch a couple of those back yard critters! say that rabbit with the ticks!! LOL fried rabbit in the iron pan yummm!!

Wayne

[pwalpar]

As a kid I ran a string of rabbit traps, and ofen we depended on them for

sustenance. Now days I eat higher on the hog LOL but wouldnt hesitate If I got hungry enough. Thanks for watching

[robmasterman]

It's not fair Walter, I've just finished my egg sandwiches, and just sat down to watch your Cook With Walter Video, and it looks absolutely delicious, and something I've never seen before. The only green tomatoes we get over here are unripe red ones, which you can't eat, soI suppose these are a different type that you have over there...5* Bob

[pwalpar]

No Bob, these are the unripe red ones, LOL I doubt any new versions of tomatoes have came on the market. So your statement the ones you cant eat is in error. Try it Bob, What ya got to loose other than a few mins of your time. Thanks for watching, and sorry bout wetting you appetite LOL Nothing wrong with egg sandwiches though

[robmasterman]

Well there you are Walter, never too old to learn something new..I shall have to look out for some green ones, and try it.....m-m-m-m-m-m...Thanks for the help...Bob

[otwayman1]

what time is supper.

[pwalpar]

Any time you come by will be suppertime, LOL Thanks for watching

[Bevoin1970]

[meme1959]

Wow, I'm hungry. A lady at church gave us some okra out of her garden. Fried okra..um..um..good. LOL

[pwalpar]

Sound great. Wish I had made some I love fried Okra. Thanks for watching

[kjm1983]

That certainly looks delicous Walter...I'm relieved to see that you are cooking chuck roast and not "special recipe barbeque" out back, lol.

[pwalpar]

I think I will pass on the special recipe. LOL I assume your referring to the movie. Thanks for watching

[wizart49]

my dad use to make them. i never cared for them.

[pwalpar]

Donald, thats ok some folks might not like em. Whens the last time you tried them, LOL Did you know your taste sensations change every 7 years, You may aquire your dads taste some day. Thanks for watching

[pjtesar101]

I didn't know your taste sensations changes every 7 years.

[pwalpar]

It definately changes. I use to hate olives for example. Now I love em. Dont be afraind to try stuff you thought you didnt like. Sometimes it will suprize you. Thanks for watching PJ
