3034. Chow chow © Bruce Goodman 11 August 2024

Yes, I know chow chow is a breed of dog, but I’m talking about chow chow the pickled relish. You wouldn’t believe the chow chow tragedy we have recently suffered in this household. My husband died from poisoning, so the coroner said, and it was probably imbibed on a ham sandwich with lashings of pickle. I was there when he made that fatal sandwich. He had indeed put lashings of chow chow on his ham. He loved chow chow. Personally I can’t stand the horrible stuff. Elric usually made his own chow chow using his mother’s recipe, but he’d run out so this was store-bought stuff. I was dreading him making a new batch of pickle because it stinks the house out. The jar of chow chow was bought about a week ago. In fact I recall Elric having trouble opening the jar because the lid was jammed. This surprised me. I must have screwed the lid back on too tightly.
