Did you know that coleslaw is named after the dutch words kool (cabbage) and sla (salad)? Yes, this american barbeque favorite is actually dutch. Coleslaw is one of those dishes that has suffered terrible abuse over the years, especially at the hands of some fast food companies, but a proper homemade coleslaw is hard to beat. Its full of vegetable goodness and as long as you dont drown it in too much mayonnaise it is rather healthy too.
