““I wanna dip my fried green tomato in the same sauce as you.” Wow, I’ve never seen a green tomato. Are they good for frying? I wonder how it tastes like.

A “green” tomato is actually a regular one that hasn’t yet ripened into red. To me, they are more crisp and firm, and they taste a little more tart than ripened tomatoes. Fried green tomatoes are quite popular in the southern United States, which is why I mentioned them in this piece. (Recipes vary, but the general process is to thickly-slice the green tomato, coat the slices in cornmeal, salt, and pepper, and then shallow fry them in bacon grease until golden brown.) I love them, especially when they are paired with a somewhat spicy remoulade sauce, although some folks prefer a ranch dressing, instead. I will admit that it’s an acquired taste that doesn’t appeal to everyone.

I happily accept your contribution to the seething cotillion. (Best long-ass name component? Congolia.) I actually wanted to work a “still” reference into the mix, but I had already done that in the previous collection of 25 sayings and I didn’t want to repeat myself. Says the unfocused writer who will re-share the same post until outraged readers claw at their face and hurl their antebellum, hoop-skirted asses in front of a steam-engine locomotive just to stop the madness… 😉
