Fried Green Tomoatoes

In my attempts to diversify, I decided to embrace our Southern heritage and cook up some fried green tomatoes. It was a learning experience for me, since I had never fried anything before (although I had seen it done many times on the EpicMealTime videos), but it turned out to not be that hard.

I started by cooking some bacon in a pan, and then using the bacon grease to fry the tomatoes. I cut up our tomatoes (two green and two red) into 1/2 inch slices, battered them up and fried them in the grease. We ate them in sandwich form with mayo, bacon and two slices of bread. It reminded me how much I miss southern cooking!

The red tomatoes weren't as flavorful as the green ones, but tasted delicious with a bit of sour cream and crumbled bacon on top.
