My Grandma Ross used to cook (WV) Fried Green Tomatoes and here sister in law, my Great Aunt Pearl fixed (WV) Fried Green Tomatoes and I was engaged to a lovely young lady in Mississippi once whose mom used to cook (MS) Fried Green Tomatoes. Read more . Funny thing is that these three dishes had just two things in common; tomatoes and a cast iron skillet. Truth be known, I like them all. My Great Aunt Pearl’s Chicken fried Green Tomatoes were pretty heavy and my least favorite so I’ll skip those. You know how to Chicken Fry anyway. Ingredients:
