In the DT, fried green tomatoes re mentioned in "All That Meat and No Potatoes."

Homegrown Tomatoes we got, Kitty. Don't know about the fried green ones.
When the movie was popular, I tried frying some up, and they tasted terrific.

We have had a recipe/food thread which included how to cook them. I tried them after reading recipe ideas here. They were good, too.

One recipe posting in thread 38717: green tomatoes
There is another, but I can't find the combination.

Talking of Fried Green Tomatoes - does anyone have the words to the Eartha Kitt song "Mister Don't You Touch Me Tomatoes"?

Just thought I would ask!

Don't Touch Me Tomato
(George Symonette)


Oh, mister, don't touch me tomatoes.
Please don't you touch me tomatoes.
Touch me plum, me apple, potatoes.
(Touch me yam, me pumpkin, potato.)
For goodness' sake, don't touch me tomatoes.

Touch me this. Touch me that.
Touch me ev'rything I got.
You can touch me plum and apple, too,
Here's one thing you just can't do.

All you do is feel 'em, feel 'em.
Ain't you tired of the feel 'em, feel 'em?
All you do is squeeze 'em, squeeze 'em.
Man, ain't you tired of the squeeze 'em, squeeze 'em?

Mister, take advice from me.
The more you look, the less you see.
But if you must have your way,
Double the price you have to pay.

Found this at

But can't find anything referring to Eartha Kitt and that song. Likely it's wrong.

Many thanks, Peace.   It will be me that got the reference to Eartha Kitt wrong - just another senior moment!

Thing is, I don't know if the words are correct or even if it's the song you wanted. I have never heard it. Tell ME about senior moments.

i always put green tomatoes in the thanksgiving stuffing/dressing mix.
There is a move, though, called Fried Green Tomatoes.

There's already a thread Lyr Req: Mister Don't You Touch Me Tomatoes! that contains lyrics and information about several recordings.
