Further down this rabbit hole I discover that the "nuclear green" sweet pickle relish is also often associated with the south. This too may be incorrect. That radioactive relish is ubiquitous across the country as far as I know. But again, what DO I know? Coming up for air I discover I have a hankering for deviled eggs. Mine have neither Durkees or sweet relish. New Years Day seems like a good day for deviled eggs; a beginning with endless possibilities. Happy new Year to all!
I associate that bright green relish with Chicago dogs. It is MUCH brighter than the Mt. Olive or Heinz kind. As a matter of fact, if you Google "Chicago relish" you'll see that glow in the dark green.
