I'm sure someone does, but not me! :laughing:

I like 'em with salt. :licking:

I like them right out of the garden and of course, on BLT's... But, I also can plenty for use later,

I'm as southern fried as they come...but when I mention "fried tomatoes" most folks think I'm talking about fried green tomatoes (sliced, dredged and deep fat fried, a southern standard)...but to me I prefer sliced ripe tomatoes dusted with flour, seasoned with salt and pepper and fried in butter until the flour coating (with absorbed butter) is browned and crisp...

For a great gravy...scramble up a pan load of the above and add butter, flour and milk... allow to thicken over low heat to just a boil and spoon over rice or plain white bread for a great finish...

Another vote for salt

I carry a salt shaker in the tractor toolbox just in case I have a tomato craving hit me while I'm working.

With salt. Sliced or on fresh rye bread with butter and thinly sliced onion.

I tried sugar. I like them best, sliced and either with salt or hot sauce.

We used to rent a farmhouse in Missouri when I was a kid; the farmer raised a big patch of tomatoes. My folks were both brought up on the farm, so they had country ways. I remember when I saw Mom grab a kitchen towel...she called them T-Towels...and the salt shaker, I knew we were going to the mater patch. She would pick them right off the vine, and with a little salt, eat them like an apple...and she didn't stop with just one! Circa 1948...ah, memories!

Salt for me. That's if i can get a crop to ripen before the winter storms hit and knock every thing down.
:*-( <-- That's me with a tear in my eye.

I have made a couple batches of fresh tomato sloppy joe filling in the last couple weeks. Fry up the burger and onions before you put the tomatoes in, then turn the heat off and don't overcook the tomatoes.

 

[RobertBrown]

fresh, ripe, tomatoes need nothing....
Maybe a couple of slices of bread....a cold beer...

 

[Snobdds]

Salt and pepper for me...

Salt and pepper or tomato pack between slice bread w/salt and pepper miracle whip.

Please don't let this thread degenerate into a miracle whip vs mayonnaise thread.

Mayonnaise.

 

[smstonypoint]

Mayonnaise.

Correct.
