Fried green tomatoes are like family recipes pasted down gen to gen. My great grandmother grew a special tomato, ( not an unripe tomato) herbs and breadcrumbs from her bread, just for her recipe, fried in bacon grease, from the canister sitting on the stove top.
My granny (seeds from her mom) same herbs, and bread, granddaddy just went out took very firm unripe green tomato and used a cracker base. All fried in bacon grease.
I use the same seeds from my great grandmother, I use all their breading recipes depending on what fresh herbs I have available. Still fry in bacon grease. Not going to find any fried green tomatoes made the way I have eaten since a child.
Have not found any I am in love with in TV, but that may be due to fresh herbs, and Bacon grease
