I'm glad that it isn't just me then. I've loads of unripened tomatoes and couldn't work out why. Going to make green tomato chutney this afternoon. Never heard of this before, till trying to find out what to do with all my green tomatoes.
The green part on potatoes is caused by sun exposure---it can safely be removed and the rest of the potatoes eaten. Always store potatoes away from light.
I have a recipe for apple chow that is equal parts apples and green tomatoes.It is good, but makes so much that I only do it every few years. I will post it if anyone is interested. You need 5 pounds of each!
I put green tomatoes in a bowl with couple of bananas. They soon change colour and can be used ripe. This happens quite quickly. So they all not ripen together I put some in a dark drawer with a banana and take out those that change colour.

I've done that with some and made green tomato chutney with the rest.
