-> If you say so. I don't know chow-chow, and don't much like Branston's
-> find too "crude" for my taste. I adore chutneys and some pickles, but
-> that Branston's is too vinegary, as if it hasn't been cooked enough
I define chowchow as pickled garden surplus - as in bits and bobs of
whatever there wasn't enough left of to can on its own.:-) Peppers,
cauliflower, carrots, cucumbers, corn, and whatever else got too close
to the pot gets put up in a vinegar solution with a bunch of onions and
herbs.[some people don't add the onions] Tastes pretty good. I'm a
pickle lover myself, especially the kosher dills. We don't do chutneys
much on this side of the ocean.
