Reading Response #7

In the novel, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, food seems to be another character during most of the scenes that take place at the Rose Terrance Nursing Home and the Whistle Stop Cafe. Evelyn Couch always brings Mrs. Threadgoode food, whether it be candy, tacos or fried chicken. They have bonded over the food that is brought every Sunday when Evelyn visits; Mrs. Threadgoode and Evelyn have a great interest in food. At Whistle Stop, people are constantly in the Cafe ordering the food and they say that Big George is one of the best Bar-B-Quer's in the south. The food is something that has unified all of the characters no matter what time period it is or where they are living.
