I used to help my nanny and pawpaw make this as a child and I absolutely love chowchow! I just recently thought of it and actually bought a can today at a farmers market but am going to try and make some soon. Enjoy!!

Two ladies set up a booth next to me and they were chatting (yeah, I was eavesdropping) about staying up too late and drinking too much wine and making Chow Chow. I eventually had to interrupt and ask "what the heck is Chow Chow?" They laughed at my yankee-ness and then gave me a sample. Holymoly. That was the same day I learned to make fried okra from an old local farmer dude. I loved that place. Happy memories inspired by your blog. Thanksyaverymuch!

Looks delicious though whatever it's called! Yep, it definitely sounds like British Picallilli with slightly different set of seasonings. Looks delicious though whatever it’s called!

I would have never thought of pulverizing it with salami, provolone and mayonnaise, but that just sounds too tempting to pass up. Will you ever run out of such fabulous ideas?

That is how I love Chow Chow. Then again, I love just about anything on a hot dog. When I saw the picture of the hot dog, I thought,”you nailed it”. That is how I love Chow Chow.

My mom used to love what she called chaw-chaw pickle (chow chow to the rest of the civilized world). I haven't had it since I left home but your sandwich has me intrigued, so chow chow (or chaw chaw, Mom) here I come! Mr. Pibb, now that’s a blast from the past!

I love the vegetable-pickle-relish, my mom always kept a jar in the fridge. They serve a similar thing in Damascus in most restaurants that's really tasty, especially the cauliflower pieces. Thanks for reminding me. My (Brit) boyfriend said the same thing, what the hell is chow-chow? I love the vegetable-pickle-relish, my mom always kept a jar in the fridge.
