How do you eat zucchini relish?
MIL made zucchini relish. She didn't process it, so it's sitting in my fridge staring at me. She went to a lot of trouble to be sure it was allergen-free for us, so I really do have to eat it. The problem is I don't know what to eat it with - I've never had relish before. The only thing I know to do is to put it on a hot dog, but I'm not sure that works with zucchini relish.
Any suggestions?

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
I've never had zucchini relish, but I'm wondering if it is similar to chow-chow. If it is, you can eat it as a condiment with chicken or beef.

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
You can use zucchini relish on whatever you'd use regular (cucumber) relish on. I've had it before and it tastes pretty similar. That said, I only ever use it on hotdogs and burgers, so I'm up for hearing other suggestions, too! I made cucmber relish for the first time this year (canned) and I'll be making a canner load of green tomato relish soon as well.

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
Yeah, see that's the problem - I never use condiments with my meat. DH likes to cook the meat with a sauce or seasoning on it. You'd want to make plain chicken to go with the relish, right?
---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ---------- Huh. Apparently Canadians and Americans do relish differently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relish I looked up chow chow, and one of the uses is on pinto beans. I might give that a try. I've got plain beans.

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
No idea, but sounds like a genius way to use up extra zucchini! Have you tasted it? I wouldn't think it's that much different...cucumbers and zucchinis are both squash.

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
I've been too afraid to try it.

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
She's been talking about making this for a YEAR. She even wrote out the recipe last summer, suggesting that *I* make it, since I had a surplus of yellow squash. Then, when I never made it, she was going to take my squash and do it for me, except that I don't have much this year.
All I know is that it has ACV in it, and I'm not a huge fan of ACV. (I'll be turning in my "crunchy" card now... ) Do I have to eat it? No one else in my house will touch it for sure, although DH asked me how it tastes tonight (assuming that I had dived right in, apparently).

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
I would try it, but I like relish, even if I don't care for zucchini that much. I'd try it on a sandwich or a hot dog. I'd also do it to be polite. If you hate it at least you can say you tried it and thank her.

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
I don't really eat hot dogs or sandwiches due to our complicated food allergies.
I told DH that I'd try it if he did. He said "My mom knows I don't like relish. Maybe tomorrow." ---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ---------- Apple Cider Vinegar

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
I tried it. It's sweet. I'm still not sure what I'd want to use it with. It's too sweet for dinnner, not sweet enough for dessert, kwim?

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
Pair it with something savory or salty. Do you do eggs? It might be good on an omelet.

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
We're allergic to eggs, unfortunately.
