Hello

Coleslaw is overrated.

The typical ingredients cabbage, carrot, mayo etc. are fine on their own. Why combine and ruin it?

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Fuckin no. Slaw it up, not sweet though that's a big no no

 

[teezzy]

 

[funkygunther]

Is it even rated?

 

[Soltype]

If anything it's underrated because of how bad most coleslaw is.

 

[killatopak]

Coleslaw is amazing in the right hands and/or combined with the right food.

 

[HoodWinked]

coleslaw is not overrated. it's barely even mentioned.

however it is way more than the sum of its parts. cabbage and carrots and mayo are individually fairly mundane and even together just seem like a random assortment of ingredients. no dairy, no meat, no fruit, no egg (if its vegan mayo) and despite that makes something decent and it wasn't even cooked.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

KFC coleslaw years back.

 

[Rockondevil]

Outside of KFC I rarely here it mentioned. I would say it's notrated.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

When I go to BBQ places (I love me a good BBQ), I make it a point to purposely avoid coleslaw.

 

[lachesis]

It's a side dish that makes the main dish pop out more. If anything, a good coleslaw is underrated.... However I just don't like eating it often because it's just so unhealthy.
Not just mayo, but some add ton of sugar with more vinegar. it actually makes it taste even better, but I just don't consider it a veggie dish at all at that point.

 

[JBat]

Don't forget the vinegar. Cole slaw is an integral part of a Memphis style BBQ sandwich. Even though I'm a Carolina BBQ guy got to respect the slaw

 

[VALIS]

Was coleslaw ever even rated? No one seems to hate it or love it, it's the forgotten side! IMO it goes really well with salt like hot dogs or kielbasa.

By the way, this is my first post on this forum in nearly 10 years and it's about coleslaw.

Those who voted ban, be glad my CCP (Coleslaw Containment Party) isn't up and running. I would have a list and fite u all.

Coleslaw depends on what it is on and the setting in which it is applied. If it is a weekend at a friends BBQ and I am making a southern as fuck heart attack burger then yeah give me that shit. Right now. I will accept my death with vigor and a hard on.


Beyond that it varies.

Coleslaw is usually pretty amazing. I don’t know if it’s a southern thing but I don’t know many people in florida who don’t like it. I’m kinda shocked to see how many ITT are anti slaw

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Never cared much for it.

 

[p_xavier]

I will never respect KFC again for removing this recipe.

 

[DGrayson]

Where I live its not common. So when I have a chance to get some (and its good) I always do. Love coleslaw. Cant have too much mayo though.

There is a diner I go to sometimes and have been going since i was a kid. They have amazing coleslaw. I even ask for some if I am there for breakfast.

 

[CatsGamesWhatever]

I recently found Broccoli slaw. It's shredded broccoli stem, red cabbage and carrots. To me it's way better than the white cabbage variety because it tastes better and lasts much longer. I can keep broccoli slaw in my fridge for 2 weeks but cut white cabbage only lasts 2-4 days at most (I assume because it has higher water content).

 

[Torrent of Pork]

The biggest problem with a lot of homemade coleslaw is people oversauce it. The vinegar and mayo will break down the cabbage, and release quite a bit of water locked up in the vegetable. Dry slaw when you first mix it turns perfect in an hour, mixing the slaw to a good consistency from the get-go will turn it into a soupy mess.

If you go to a real high end midwest BBQ place, coleslaw is fantastic. Apple coleslaw in particular is great. When you're eating heavy meats and sauces, it has a nice cool contrast that cuts through.

This is where we part ways bro-slaw, this difference is too big to reconcile.

I loved coleslaw my whole life but got food poisoning from it last time. Even made a thread about it. Never touching it again, its usually at chicken and bbq places so theres too much chance of cross contamination with the cabbage & raw meat.

 

[AV]

Not even rated, it's just... There. Bit like mayonnaise.

I was a professional cook before becoming a truck driver, this hurts my soul. I am goddamned paranoid about salmonella cross-contamination, and have had more than one 'Come-to-Jesus' moments with coworkers when I saw them doing dangerous shit.

Edit - Remember folks, a 50% bleach and water solution in a spray bottle is your best friend in the kitchen.

 

[teezzy]

Best slaw I've ever had is from a Mexican joint down the street. Pairs well with the rice and tacos/burritos

Weird thing is I've heard so many others say it's the best slaw they've had before too

 

[Kamina]

The name is retarded, dont care about the food itself, pls ban OP

This is true.

Fuck mash and gravy though. That can easily be messed up.

What's its current Rotten Tomatoes score and I'll tell you if it's overrated.

Potato salad is better.

Not a fair fight.

 

[bender]

It's always been complete dreck and thus is properly rated by me, bender.

You haven’t lived until you’ve had a smoked chipotle slaw.

 

[01011001]

hell no!

 

[TheGrat1]

KFC-Style cole slaw is utter garbage. The fact that it was ever sold for profit means it is automatically overrated.

Sweet slaw, (just cabbage, no mayo) is delicious, though.

 

[saturnalian]

Edit, wrong quote

 

[BadBurger]

pulled pork BBQ sandwiches just wouldn't be the same without it.

Also, a good homemade slaw is also fantastic on fried chicken sandwiches.

 

[GymWolf]

I always take it off from my mc burger.

 

[Raven117]

Depends on what you eating it with.

On a pulled pork sandwich...god-tier....as a side to some over cooked burger on a cookout? Not so much.

 

[GymWolf]

It looks like devil pubic hairs.
