Overall, these fried green tomatoes were pretty good. I would make them again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

The fried green tomatoes were a bit bland. I think I should have added more spices to the coating.

These fried green tomatoes were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The fried green tomatoes were a bit bland. I think I should have added more spices to the coating. Overall, they were still pretty good.

These fried green tomatoes were a bit too greasy for my taste. The coating was also a bit too thick. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not usually a fan of fried green tomatoes, but these were really good! The coating was flavorful and the tomatoes were cooked evenly. I'll definitely be making these again.
