[Food] Coleslaw

[Trufflehound]

Originally Dutch, so it could be.

The name 'kool sla' is orignally Dutch, but modern coleslaw as we understand it (with mayo) is American, possibly created by Dutch immigrants (or possibly not, no one actually knows).

For the record, Dutch supermarkets sell it as "Amerikaanse Coleslaw"...

I think you're the only one to make coleslaw two words.

Cabbage and salad were always two words in my book...

"Can I get a side of mac and cheese and the slaw".

There's not much that sounds as utterly pathetic as an English person saying stuff like this. Total cringe dude.

I was like... you know!!

Do you like coleslaw?

No-one likes coleslaw.

What gives?

Recommend making your own.

I use a yoghurt/vinegar/mustard dressing (i don't like mayo that much)

sometimes use herbs / seeds like fennel seeds, thyme/sage, chilli,
and multiple veg do the trick not just carrot, cabbage - fennel, onion, carrot, red/white cabbage, courgette, celery/celeriac, beets

You can buy coleslaw from a restaurant in Orlando called DELANEY park. Make of that what you will......

Are we singing anyone from Colerslawtern ?

Most supermarket coleslaw is rank, but homemade/restaurant stuff is usually nice.

Tesco Finest is the greatest.

My wife's home made is best, at least we know what goes into it and how it's prepared.

Coleslaw and mature cheddar cheese in a crumpet sandwich is delicious.

Forever lives in my memory but for some reason I've only made it once.

 

[Hendrax]

Home made with Apple and celeriac

The one food I could never eat. Something about raw vegetables mixed with mayonnaise used to make me gag. One particularly bad memory at a family meal was enough to say never again.

Do you like coleslaw?

Are you in urgent need of the football season ?

 

[KZNSeagull]

Coleslaw is one of the greatest things ever invented.

 

[Badger]

Isn't it called 'slaw these days?

I try to avoid it at places that call it 'slaw. They always serve you some hipster interpretation of coleslaw which bears little resemblance to what it should be, and it's always a MASSIVE disappointment.

Cabbage and salad were always two words in my book...

Would it be a compound word in Dutch though?

Bozza - are you crodonilson in disguise

Coleslaw and mature cheddar cheese in a crumpet sandwich is delicious.

Having never had or even heard of a crumpet sandwich I seriously need to improve my snacks as that sounds right up my street.

 

[Trufflehound]

Koolsla. The Dutch are nearly as scared of using the space bar as the Germans.

I am very meh on this one. If it's on the plate I will eat it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it.
