I want to know what a wedge constitutes???
It has been a long time since I have heard of a green tomato pie! In our family this pie was called green tomato minced pie and never to be confused with an English minced meat pie. In our family recipe (which differs from Charlotte's pie and all the other similar pies on this site) has the tomatoes chopped, contains raisins, uses vinegar instead of lemon and I believe some pickling spices. Usually, the mixture made a huge amount and therefore was canned to be used throughout the year. It was always served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We loved it! Thanks for reminding me of this wonderful memory!
