CHEW and CHOW

I grew up with a jar of chow-chow frequently on the table as THE condiment of choice.  For those of you not familiar with this pickled treat, Chow-chow  is a pickled relish made from a combination of vegetables.  Mainly green tomato, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, carrots and peas are used.  These are pickled in a  jar & served cold.  I’ve always thought this gem had Southern roots, but I’ve recently learned that a sweeter version has it’s roots in Pennsylvania.  If you go to the reception for this Call, pick up a jar for me…
