I am almost embarrassed to say I have never eaten fried green tomatoes. Just the ones in pie. I really should make some. I imagine they’d make tasty green salsa, also.
Just looked, and so far there’s no source for cushaw (or curshaw) seeds. As I recall they were the easiest things to grow...
I looked and couldn’t find gurshaws either, maybe we both had the name wrong. Could it be Crenshaw melons we remember?

As my memory serves me, fried green tomato, would taste a lot like Zucinni squash, when it is dipped and fried.
There was a time when I thought of frying everything and did not know that people did not fry onions, squash, okra, apples and green tomatoes. And sweet potatoes, after parboiling them.
I like cabbage fried alone or with potatoes and onions.
Ok, I like the taste of fried food, in bacon drippings or lard, not this fancy oil that has no taste.
Take a look at these 3 nurseries they should have the Cushaw, as I have seen them listed, at all 3 I think.
These wound up being the ones that I ordered from every year.
There is a farm in Iowa, a school teacher, who grows fancy poultry of the old varieties and crops for seeds, all that I bought were good and cheap. Sandhill, it is here:
Nichols, had many heritage varieties and oriental, I have bought from them over 30 years:
Pinetree I also bought from, I like their mixed variety packets, so I could try more than one variety.

Try striped cushaw. We carry them at my garden center if you can’t ind them elsewhere. :)
