Grainger County ‘maters

This is one of my favorite times of year. Sure, the weather is hotter than the flames of Heck, where Fluffy went. But it’s that time when one of East Tennessee’s greatest foods is in season. Grainger County tomatoes:

Most of the local and, even, chain stores carry them. I just put salt and pepper on them. If you’re ever in this area, try them.

    I grew up in Jefferson County…I know these ‘maters of which you speak. There are none finer.

    What! You add salt ‘n pepper to ‘maters? SACRILEGE! Eat them warm as they are. That, IMHO, is the best way to snack on them. 🙂

    I grew up in a farm town in the San Joaquin Valley in Kalifornication and when they were ripe we used to pick tomatoes fresh off the plant, sun warmed, and eat them like apples. It was GOOD!

    I’ll put a New England grown Jetstar up against them any day.

    “Plant ’em in the spring, eat ’em in the summer
    All winter with out ’em’s a culinary bummer

    Only two things that money can’t buy
    And that’s true love and homegrown tomatoes”

    M & M sandwiches! (‘maters and mayonnaise!). Mama was born and raised in White Pine. Gotta lot of kin in the area.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
