What is Coleslaw?
Coleslaw, also written “cole slaw,” has become a part of traditional American cooking. In the United States, especially in the South, coleslaw is an important side dish. Coleslaw is a staple dish at picnics, barbecues, and has even made it onto some fast food chain menus. Many restaurants that specialize in sandwiches offer coleslaw with their sandwiches. Some restaurants, such as the Primanti Brothers Restaurant in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, actually include coleslaw as condiments within their sandwiches. While, in America, coleslaw often accompanies barbecue, hamburgers, hot dogs, and sandwiches, it is a common side dish to pizza in Sweden.
