They're famous for their fried chicken which is served with mashed potatoes & gravy, creamed corn, biscuits, cottage cheese, spiced apple rings, spiced peaches, bread & butter pickles, and their sweet-sour coleslaw which they say is an old family recipe from Pennsylvania. <br /><br />A recipe for their slaw was published in a 1970 cookbook from Beloit, a small town near there. It calls for 2/3 cup cream to be whipped.

If it is "1 cup, whipped." If they wanted 1 cup of whipped cream, it would say "1 cup whipped cream". It is like "1 cup chopped nuts" means you chop some nuts and then measure out 1 cup of them, but "1 cup nuts, chopped" means you measure a cup of nuts, then chop them. It is all about where they put the comma. Unless the recipe author didn't know these rules ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-48235676074429414082008-03-08T07:05:00.000-05:002008-03-08T07:05:00.000-05:00I really like coleslaw but I'm still searching for...I really like coleslaw but I'm still searching for that perfect recipe!

I often get the bagged in the produce section and use the bottled dressing. I add other ingredients, usually. I have used recipes to make it also, but not as often.<BR/><BR/>JanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-91640708348901707622008-03-05T11:10:00.000-05:002008-03-05T11:10:00.000-05:00Yes, my husband and I both like cole slaw.

I don't remember the last time I made any though, and then it was just green cabbage, carrot and mayonnaise, I think. No recipe. Now that I've read this, I've seen the error of my non-cooking ways. I usually just buy it from the deli or through a fast food window. Sheesh!Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762254137339310890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-56546469140121802272008-03-05T10:34:00.000-05:002008-03-05T10:34:00.000-05:00My mother makes the best coleslaw, either creamy o...My mother makes the best coleslaw, either creamy or vinagrette. My fave is the vinagrette style, which I don't like to be sweet.<BR/><BR/>My recipe is very good, although not hers (you know how that goes LOL). Shredded cabbage, carrots, and a bit of onion or even celery. One part sherry vinegar to two or three parts olive oil. LOTS of salt and pepper. It's the pepper that makes it for me, I think. Red cabbage looks very pretty, and the thinner you slice the cabbage and veggies the better.<BR/><BR/>For creamed coleslaw we use green cabbage and a bit of carrot. Then add miracle whip and sweet pickle relish and mix. The relish is what makes it so good, actually.<BR/><BR/>We would have the vinagrette with fried foods (fish and chips, for example) and the creamed with roasted meats (like turkey or roast pork).DancesInGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516526687504692899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-6486097712459591922008-03-05T10:30:00.000-05:002008-03-05T10:30:00.000-05:00Coleslaw is a staple at our house, but I cheat :-)...Coleslaw is a staple at our house, but I cheat :-) I buy the shredded mix and a bottle of coleslaw dressing, add some onion to it and there ya go, Bob's your uncle!Rebel In Ontariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08898426309114426885noreply@blogger.com
