My dear husband grew up in the South. There are a number of dishes I have learned to cook over our 16 years of marriage to satisfy his craving for Souther cooking and foods he considers comforting. This is not one I will be making anytime soon. I tried once with dismal results:
1 cup yellow corn meal
3/4 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
black pepper to taste
5 green tomatoes, sliced
2 to 3 tablespoons bacon drippings or vegetable shortening
Combine cornmeal, flour, and seasonings; coat both sides of the tomato slices with the mixture. In a large cast iron skillet, heat drippings or shortening over medium heat and fry tomatoes in a single layer. Brown each side lightly. Keep warm in the oven on a cookie sheet, but watch that they don't burn!
