Both the film and the book “Fryed Green” are a safe marinade for many people, to which they are always happy to come back. The story of the love and the strength of female friendship in the book and in the film make even the most gloomy day brighter. On the screen and cards of the book we follow the fate of Evelyn Couch, women over 50. On the edge of a nervous breakdown, which on the occasion of her visit to the nursing home meets the old woman of Ninny Threadgood, who begins to tell her life history in a small town of Whistle Stop. Together with the story of Ninna, we move to the 1930s, we meet Idgie Threadgood, an independent and brave woman who runs the “Whistle Stop Cafe” cafe with his friend Ruth Jamison. In the Oscar movie based on the novel Fannie Flagg, we can also admire the well -played roles by Kathy Bates (Evelyn Couch) or Jessica Tandy (Ninny Threadgood). And the title fried green tomatoes symbolize heat, hospitality and tradition. The cafe becomes a place where people can find consolation and support. Just like we, reading a moving book, or watching a movie from 1991 directed by Jon Avnet. While watching the movie, you can also reach for a snack.
How to make fried green tomatoes inspired by a film and a book?
Fried green tomatoes are one of the simplest snacks to make. We need: green tomatoes – if we don’t have our own, we can buy at the end of September at the market, a few tablespoons of corn flour (amount depending on the number of tomatoes), salt, pepper, olive oil or fat melted from bacon for frying (or half and half). Once we have all the ingredients, cut the tomatoes into centimeter slices, season with salt and pepper, then coat in corn flour and fry in hot fat on both sides for gold. Such fried green tomatoes are tasty in themselves, but you can always rub them with a yogurt sauce with dill.
