Are you referring to Piccalilli which is also called Green Tomato Relish? My mother canned that every year we were kids. I never had a fondness for Green Fried Tomatoes but my youngest daughter can't wait to raid our garden for them. Now, myself, I liked the fried Eggplant or a good Zucchini Casserole (substitute Zucchini rather than lasagne noodles except you have to dip in egg and roll in flour to brown first). It's a must at our family reunion every July. I get stuck with making two 15" baking dishes. The eggplant can also be used as the Zucchini casserole. To each persons individual taste, says I. Can also be doctored up with some hot peppers mixed in the sauce.
