Chow Chow Dog

Well I went to look for “chow chow” online, so I could show a picture to those that are not familiar with it. As you can see, I found the wrong chow chow in my hunt for the food chow chow. You can eat your soup beans and have your dog watching you eat if you want, but this is not what I had in mind.

Ok, here we go. This is the right chow chow! If you ever see a jar of this in the store, you should buy it. This is great with your homemade cooked soup beans. You know, the soup beans that come in a pack and are hard. You put them on in the morning hours to cook for about 4 hours, so you can eat them for a late lunch or for your supper. I love eating soup beans, with homemade biscuits, and give me a big tablespoon or two of chow chow. This is better than pepper or an onion that you might normally eat with your soup beans.

If you ever wanted to make your own chow chow, I did see there were a lot of online recipes for chow chow. Do you have a chow chow recipe? Please feel free to share it with me and my readers. I may just give your chow recipe a try! I have never attempted to make home made chow chow, but it seems like it would be pretty easy. I would imagine you need to leave it canned or on the shelf awhile; before you actually ate it.

The store-bought jars of chow chow come in a variety of flavors and they can taste quiet differently too. If you don’t like the first brand you try, don’t give up on chow chow yet. There are some companies or types of chow chow I really don’t like. Some companies may even list their chow chow as a form of relish. It’s a little different from relish and chow chow is its own unique food. Be sure to try a little chow chow the next time you put on a pot of soup beans to cook during the afternoon. Once you try it, you won’t ever eat beans by their self no more. You can eat chow chow with black-eyed peas, great northern beans, pinto beans, or mixed beans that come from the can. The best way is to cook a pot of soup beans and then you really get the best of both worlds!
