Cole slaw

Thanks to the folks at eatocracy for bringing up this important topic, but yikes! They missed the boat (well, my boat). Here's the link:

And here's my issue: Cole slaw does NOT have to have vinegar. It CAN have it, but in my perfect world you have one or the other--a mayo-based cole slaw OR a vinegar-based one. Either can have other ingredients, though my favorite recipe is simply cabbage, onion, Duke's mayo, black pepper and the barest hint of salt. Mix it dry and let it sit about 20 minutes before serving. Perfect.

However, I love the spicy vinegar slaws like the one at The Rendezous, too. And a touch of sugar is OK in a vinegar slaw, but NEVER in a mayo slaw. At least not in my house or my mouth.

Here is a great mystery of cole slaw: Why do so many people try to duplicate the slaw from KFC? I think it makes every mistake in the book...

I have just discovered the slaw at Neely's on Winchester and I love it! It's a mustard base, which is my favorite, very spicy and fresh tasting. Their bbq is only okay, but their slaw is worth the trip.

Making it myself I also use Duke's mayo, but sorry I do like mine with a bit of sugar. I also like broccoli slaw, which I discovered when my husband accidentally bought a bag of it thinking it was cabbage.

Before moving to Memphis almost 32 years ago, I lived where creamy cole slaw was the norm. (Illinois, New York, New England, south Florida). The base dressing is pretty much 2 Tbsp. each sugar and vinegar to each cup of mayo or salad dressing. Sometimes a bit of mustard and/or celery seed. And just carrot and hand-cut green cabbage (not minced like KFC). So, I guess Jennifer and I disagree in spades on this topic. A lot of our popular local places, however, serve nice versions of classic creamy cole slaw--Charlie's Crab Shack, Scales, Corky's, Captain D's, and Soul Fish, to name a few.

BTW, this site still isn't working. Every submission I make is rejected (for months, now). I am copying and pasting like you advised, but aren't there any good IT people at the CA?

Allie is 100 percent on the Neely's slaw. It is the only slaw I actually like and order. Actually, I love it.

Until I discovered Neely's slaw I always wondered why people actually went out of their way to order coleslaw and can't imagine why one would want to make it. I thought it was just something restaurants threw on plates as filler to make it look like they were giving you more food.

Best Recipe for Broccoli Salad | muanacongo.com

Since Broccoli is on sale this week I thought I would share my best recipe for broccoli salad that I take to many, many family functions. I get requests for it all the time. Such as: make sure you bring that broccoli salad to the father’s day picnic. Or, I get asked for the recipe for broccoli salad from people attending the function. So, I can heartily recommend it and pleased to share it with you.

Gretchen’s Broccoli Salad

1 pound bacon, fried crisp & drained 1/4 cup Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar

Mix your mayo, sugar and vinegar and set aside. Let blend together for 20 – 30 minutes.

Mix your broccoli, raisins, sunflower seeds and onion together. Then pour above mixture over it and then top off with the fried bacon.

Toss all together and refrigerate overnight. Can actually make it the same day as long as you have at least 5 hours to marinate flavors together. This is not a low calorie, or low cholesterol dish. But it is very filling and satisfying. It will keep you away from the dessert table because you will be so satisfied.

If you want, you could substitute agave nectar for the 1/4 cup raw sugar. Or you could use a powder sugar substitute such as splenda or stevia. I use the rule of thumb: 3 packets and then taste…to see where I like it. Otherwise, you can over do the sweet taste with an artificial substitution. Some people feel it changes the recipe and they swear they can tell the difference, but I can’t. But maybe I am just use to it also.

Another way to reduce the calories on this recipe is to use turkey bacon instead of real bacon. It has about half the calories. But I honestly don’t care for the flavor of it. You just have to pick and choose your battles, so to speak. I would rather cut the amount of bacon in half, to half a pound ( 8 ounces) of regular bacon and get the real flavor.
