I bought a jar on a whim when I spotted it at the grocery. Never heard of it before. Pretty much finely chopped cabbage and mustard mixture. I chose the spicy variety but it’s hardly what I would call hot. Eh…not sure I’d buy it again but I’d say it’s utility value would be when you cook a pork chop or hot dog and didn’t want to open a whole jar of sauerkraut, just take your jar of Slawsa out and get pretty much (+mustard) the same effect.

Sounds decent enough.

But I feel cheated…for a moment I thought someone had invented a new type of Salsa.

Hmmmm, maybe I can get on Shark Tank with my new cabbage based salsa…

If Julie would bring some out in person, I’d try it.

Not shocked to see that comes from North Carolina, where chow chow is common.
