Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe

I've never eaten them but they do sound delicious, as does all the food described in the book. Apart from one particular dish that's served which I won't mention so that I don't spoil anything.

What's your favorite book reading snack?
I don't usually tend to snack that much when I'm reading. I do usually have a drink with me, though, which is usually either Coke, Ribena, juice, or sometimes milk. I guess food wise it would probably be either crisps or chocolate. Something like that.
