For me, it means a mustard-based concoction with diced dill pickles and maybe some cauliflower with some other veggies. If you have a recipe, please share.

Spicy sweet cabbage, onions, green tomatoes and peppers that have been canned for use as a condiment with vegetables.

Chow Chow seems to me to be disappearing from the grocery shelves.

The wife and I make it every year from a 100+ year old recipe. Unwaxed cucumbers with seeds cut out, green tomatoes with seed cut out, red onions, salt, dry mustard and vinegar.

mix vegies in crock pot with salt, let stand overnight, next day scald with hot vinegar and drain add sauce made from dry mustard and vinegar.

I don't have a definition of it but the chow chow they make at Cochon Butcher in New Orleans is really good.

Can you post a recipe? My grandmother who died in the early '90's made it, and it was awesome over peas and butter beans...but I don't have the recipe.

It is a tomato relish that is in our fridge, made by the wife for sometimes addition to her purple hull peas, but never eaten by me.

Anyone who wants my ration card should they ever ration the stuff can have it.

Added to add it is the vinegar in it I do not care for. I'm not a big fan of acetic acid.
