Never Mind The Bacon
Today I tried a real down-south dish...fried green tomatoes. I just thin-sliced them, dipped in beaten egg, dipped in flour, tapped off the extra flour, and fried with olive oil. They cook quickly. It's not something I'd want very often, but it was an interesting taste. A recipe recommended that they be fried in bacon grease. Must be an old recipe. Sounds like recommending that someone add a little arsenic for flavor. The other day I read a recipe for something called an Elvis Sandwich. It amounted to a smashed banana, a pound of bacon, peanut butter, and was fried on both sides like a grilled cheese sandwich. The idea was that frying it on both sides was a way to sop up all the bacon fat from frying that pound of...wow. I can't even imagine it. Supposedly every time Elvis stopped in to visit his mother, she'd make him SEVERAL of those
monstrosities.
