I have always been a big slaw fan.   I've seen them all--- SLAW  , SLAW 2, SLAW 3 ... even SLAW 8... lol     No, seriously, I love slaw.  My granny and pawpaw made the best ever. They would chop up their slaw very fine and pawpaw would sweeten it. Minimal other ingredients .  I like a sweet slaw, one that is not "mayonnaisey" or tangy. Their slaw was very simple, very sweet, just perfect. The best way I could describe it was think of the way KFC's slaw was back in the 70's and 80's.  KFC had the best slaw around, and it was almost identical to my granny and pawpaw's slaw.  

KFC still has really good slaw, but they changed their recipe a decade or more ago.  The biggest difference now, compared to years ago, is that it is not chopped as fine as it used to be. It's still sweet, just not as fine. I've eaten a lot of slaws, with a lot of variety, but nothing eclipses the sweet simplicity of my grandparents' slaw. They always liked to order LJS fish on Sundays. Pawpaw would  deep fry his very own ,made from scratch big steak fries, and he and granny would make their slaw. Then pawpaw would load up in his Ford LTD and go cross town to pick up the fish from Long John's.


What about you folks? How do you like your slaw? Are you a sweet , not tangy person like me?  Do you like a more mayonnaise/dressing-laden slaw? Do you like your slaw chopped fine like I do or do you like a more dense slaw. Slaw is so good that I thought it deserved it's own thread.

What do like to eat with slaw. Pulled pork is the best with slaw(love you, cousin Dougie). I also love slaw with fish. Fried catfish, hushpuppies, and slaw... yum yum!!!  I can even eat a delicious tub of slaw by itself.  

How about you, BGR food connoisseurs???
