Yay house! ADULT.

I am also aware of chow chow, but that may be because I actually own a book called “The Joy of Pickling,” which is awesome, btw. And I hear you re lactofermented pickles vs vinegar pickles. I love vinegar pickles so.

Wow, I haven’t heard the term “chow chow” in so long that I forgot I even knew about it. I think my grandmother used to make it.

YES! Have you looked at Katz’ Art of Fermentation? It is so much more complete than Wild Fermentation. We had someone make us an amazing crock and make lots of sauerkraut with it. The transition from salty to sour is super fast in the hot South. Just trust in it. When I was living in Western NY, there was an old guy who had turned a wine press into a cider press and you could bring your own apples–but the minimum was 6 bushels, which makes, like, 18 gallons of cider! I foraged for a day while ppl yelled at me from the road, but the results were glorious. Maybe there is something like that around?? Seems like an old weird town thing to have….
