I was western MA. Springfield/Chicopee area. Things also may have changed since I was a kid living out there.

I like fried squash and green tomatoes, but you are right, they each have a distinctive taste. To me, a fried green tomato tastes more like fried eggplant.

I grew up in western NC and east TX. I thought everybody ate them.

I would rather have them that way than any other.

There's a restaurant in town called Mick's that serves them sprinkled with feta cheese (first) and then covers them in a sauce (second) that seems to be some combination of sour cream, thousand island dressing, and red peppers (all blended together). It's really good.

We enjoy them here in Michigan fried with a coating of corn meal.
