Hello People, Austin Carter here from Beyond the Bayou Blog bringing you flavors from all over the world on your plate. So are you all wondering about the strange name of this dish? Like what does this chow chow mean?
Let me tell you guys Mango chow chow relish is inspired by traditional South and East Asian pickles, particularly from India where it’s known as “achar.”
