I have to admit that, coming from Brooklyn, I have never heard of a lot of these foods, and have never eaten the rest. (Except figs - love the figs) I guess I have to branch out a bit on my food choices. The chow chow on the beans on top of the corn bread sounds like heaven. Is it very spicy?

You can make spicy chow chow, but we don't - it has a sweet taste.

Gayle, I'll bet your chow chow is good on hambergers, too. Maybe I'll get some extra time and make a batch and try it.

Yep, I bet it would be good on hamburgers too! I'll have to try that. I know I like sweet relish on hamburgers, and I know chow chow is better than sweet relish!
