I have a friend who asked me for some of my green tomatoes
earlier this year. She eats them raw, with salt. Can't say
I like them that way myself, though.

Or try my favorite green tomato recipe handed down from my
great-grandmother. When you fry (saute) potatoes and onions,
throw in some chopped green tomatoes when the potatoes are
about half-way done. Season just like you do potatoes and
enjoy.

I've also heard of (but never tried) pulling the entire vine
and hanging it upside down in a cool place to "ripen" the 
tomatoes.
