Default Green tomatoes

The ones from the greenhouse are in a basket gradually ripening, as I've

The ones from outside plants were left just one day too late and a very cold
night damaged most of them. I preserved a lot but the rest were showing
patches of mould, some quite large.


So tonight's supper was egg, bacon, mushrooms and fried green tomatoes - no
salt, no sugar, nothing else.


I've heard of this but never had the courage to do it. I thought Spouse
would protest too. But we both enjoyed them! I'll never waste any again!


Green Tomato Jam is also very nice. Dunno what prompted me to try - maybe
just a bad ripening year in the 90's, and a glut of them.

There is also Green Tomato Chutney.
