Fried Green Tomatoes

Southern cooks never pass up an opportunity to serve crispy, tangy, fried green tomatoes. (These are hard, unripened tomatoes, not ripe green-skinned heirloom varieties.) They are great with baked ham, and make a tasty breakfast topped with crisp bacon, especially if you add the bacon fat to the pan when you fry the tomatoes.
