The word chow is an informal way to say “food” or “meal.” Someone happily gobbling tacos might say, “I just love Mexican chow,” or your dad might open up a pizza delivery box and yell, “Time for chow, everybody!” Chow is an American English word that originated in California around 1856, from the Chinese pidgin English chow-chow, “food,” which probably originated with the Chinese cha, “mixed.”
