The reason she dipped in in flour was just so it dried the outside a bit and it browned easier. We ate fried green tomatoes but not with the mush. Love them both! She also used flour with the green tomatoes. Can't recall if she/we dipped the tomatoes in egg first, but I think so. Dad made Scrapple, which is basically mush with shreaded leftover meat in it. I only have self rising corn meal baking mix in the house now, or I'd go make some too! Think of me when you have breakfast tomorrow! lol
