If you aren't familiar, chow chow is a type of Southern relish made to preserve the end of summer vegetables. Its history is quite blurry, however. Some say Chinese rail workers created it when they came to the US in the 1800s. Others credit it to being a copy of Indian chutneys. Whatever the story, this is a great way to use up the last of the summer veggies in your garden. Rather than include pictures of boring chopped vegetables and the brine, I thought it would be more interesting and inspirational to post pictures from my recent trip to North Carolina - enjoy!
