Title: Green Tomatoes
Post by: GardnerJ on July 19, 2004, 16:55:08

Please don't think i am completley stupid  :-\ but i thought green tomatoes were poisionous :-X?
How come there are so many delicious looking recipies for Green Tomato this and that  ??????
Is there a special tomato that stays green for such culinary uses?
I did read that tomatillos can be used for Fried Green Tomatoes......(at the whistle stop cafe!) but i thought all tomatoes went red!!!! ??? Oh blimey (http://img6.exs.cx/img6/7573/classclown.jpg)

I don't think they're poisonous -just unripe. At the end of the season you run out of time for them all to go red. Then you make green tomato chutney ;D

Never did me any harm :
