These fried green tomatoes were a disappointment. The coating was soggy and the tomatoes were undercooked. I won't be making these again.

These fried green tomatoes are so good! I love the combination of the crispy coating and the tangy tomatoes. I always make a double batch because they disappear so quickly.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fried green tomatoes didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Maybe I didn't fry them long enough?

These fried green tomatoes were a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best he's ever had. I think I'll try using a sweeter variety of tomato next time.

These fried green tomatoes were a hit at our last family gathering! Everyone loved the crispy coating and the tangy flavor of the tomatoes. They were the perfect side dish to our grilled burgers and chicken.
