[Food] Coleslaw

[The Brighton Bear]

We had a BBQ last weekend, the wench made some up, and she put some sultanas in it. Game changer. Had a lovely sweet after taste. I suggest you try it. Always home made too as I'm dairy free so can make it without the yogurt.

This the coleslaw thread, not the "what do you put in a fruitcake" thread.

American Slaw..........Same as regular apart from the addition of red cabbage and dijon mustard, improves it no end.

 

[The Clamp]

Yes. I do like coleslaw.

 

[btnbelle]

Homemade coleslaw is best.

Is there usually yoghurt in shop-bought coleslaw?

Don't knock it 'till you've tried it. I was skeptical at first and my response to Missus RW was very similar to yours but I have been converted.

Yes, a typical one would be:

Combine the onion, carrot, and white cabbage in a large mixing bowl, and mix well to combine.
Whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice in another mixing bowl; season well. Add to the vegetables and mix well to combine.
Spoon into serving bowls and garnish with a grind of black pepper and the chopped chives

Tesco one:

Ingredients:
Cabbage (47%), Mayonnaise, Carrot, Double Cream (Milk) (2%), Onion, Mayonnaise contains: Rapeseed Oil, Water, Sugar, Pasteurised Egg Yolk, Spirit Vinegar, Salt, Stabilisers (Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Pectin), Mustard Seed

So no yoghurt in the shop-bought one then but double cream.

I love it. How about a chilli con carne on a bed of coleslaw instead of rice? mmmmmmm!

 

[Chicken Run]

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

I absolutely love a coleslaw toasted sandwich, thick white bread, lots of butter which of course melts and blends with the creamy lush slaw.

Homemade given the choice, followed by Tesco's finest a close 2nd

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"...

Much like the origins of most foodstuffs, lost in history.

 

[Postman Pat]

No one for sauerkraut then?

 

[Triggaaar]

It depends how it's made. Cheap coleslaw is nasty. But with a little effort and some subtle flavourings, coleslaw can transform from a simple side-salad, to something all the more delicious.

So if purchasing, which options are best?

 

[Bansko Seagull]

No BBQ or salad is complete without home made coleslaw. Fact.
