My husband’s birthday is coming up (the day after Christmas. It sucks). One of his favorite foods is fried green tomatoes. I’ve only ever had them once, in a restaurant, and I thought they were revolting. Not as in “the renegades are revolting,” the adjective, as in “I think fried green tomatoes are revolting.” He’s my husband though, and I’d like to make him a special dinner. I can push my food around the plate while we’re dining by candlelight (nah, that’s not gonna happen) and then have a couple of slices of za later (auto-correct let “za” go uncorrected. What is this world coming to?)
So, after that verbose intro, here’s my very simple question: Where, in the name of all that’s holy, does one obtain green tomatoes? Are they simply unripened tomatoes (supermarkets don’t generally sell them), a specific strain of heirloom tomato, or tomatillos (which really don’t taste much like tomatoes at all).
If you have a recipe you’d like to share, I’m all in, but I can google recipes and save you all of the typing. I just want to know where to obtain them!
