On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 9% based on 93 reviews, with an average rating of 3.5/10. Bam!Д¬romulence: 6 Cornelius Talmadges out of 10ДЇried Green Tomatoes from: The Two Mrs.Adjusted Score: 33.22%. Of course, weвЂ™re all thinking it, the tomatoes needed some garam masala. Perhaps what these needed was a spice blend to really take it to the next level. At the same time, IвЂ™m not going to go out of my way to make fried green tomatoes in the future. My perfectly healthy diet always has room for fried foods. Cook the tomatoes for 2-3 minutes a side. Dredge the tomatoes in the flour, then buttermilk, then cornmeal mixture.

Heat a skillet with your oil of choice (I use sunflower oil) under medium heat. In separate bowls place: the flour, the buttermilk and egg, the cornmeal (3 bowls). Allow tomatoes to sit for 5-10 minutes so they dry out. And I KNOW IвЂ™m focusing on a dumb joke that the writers probably barely even thought about but really, what else do I have to do with my time these days? Anyway, I also made some fried green tomatoes because see the previous sentence I just wrote.Д¬ut tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices and sprinkle with salt. More to the point, if Garam Masala is both your favorite movie and your favorite food I will be extremely impressed. ItвЂ™s unfortunately not based on a novel for the trifecta I wanted. I know itвЂ™s not a perfect comparison, but Garam Masala is both a food and a movie.

But I ask you, oh reasonable reader, if you have heard of the film Garam Masala? What IвЂ™m trying to say here is that there is no freaking way that Manjula, a woman who is almost certainly from the same area of India as Apu, had ever even heard of the movie, book OR food that is fried green tomatoes! I mean, itвЂ™s possible I suppose.

The film adaptation of the aforementioned novel, Fried Green Tomatoes, came out in 1991 concerning, among other things, вЂњgood friendsвЂќ Idgie and Ruth who run a Southern cafe that serves fried green tomatoes.

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is a novel that came out in 1987 concerning, among other things, the 1930вЂ™s US Southern town of Whistle Stop, Alabama and the cafe there that serves fried green tomatoes.

Nahasapeemapetilon, Manjula states that her favorite movie, book and food is Fried Green Tomatoes

IвЂ™m fairly certain one of the main reasons Rahamatpur has a Wikipedia entry is because itвЂ™s вЂњnotable for being the birthplace of the character Apu NahasapeemapetilonвЂќ.

In The Simpsons episode Homer and Apu, Apu states that he is from Rahmatpur, West Bengal.It also looks like this problem may have solved itself, kinda? Besides, IвЂ™m not hear to talk about Apu, I want to talk about ManjulaвЂ¦and fried green tomatoes. I completely recognize how Apu is offensive to some people, but my dumb blog is supposed to be humorous (debatable) and I donвЂ™t really want to get into controversy. Among audience reviews, the prevailing opinion seems to be that this documentary is вЂњunnecessaryвЂќ and вЂњother things I donвЂ™t want to write here because itвЂ™s probably racistвЂќ. I recently watched the documentary The Problem with Apu, which on Rotten Tomatoes has 89% rating with critics and a 34% rating with audience.
