What percentage of cole slaw actually gets eaten?
I'm just wondering. They give you this stuff with your meal in some restaurants. I've personally never eaten it, so that's probably a few gallons' worth in the trash just for me.

Does anyone actually eat this stuff?

7. In North Carolina, all of it. On barbecue. Sick, and unnatural

Mothers hold your babies close, protect them from the peculiar dietary habits of deranged North Carolinians.

8. I eat it, and throw away the meat
Being a vegetarian in a offal-eating family, you take what you can get.

12. Is that anything like sauerkraut? I like sauerkraut.
The people who have to be near me 6-8 hours later, on the other hand, don't. :evilgrin:

14. Oh man, don't even get me started on sauerkraut!
I've eaten less sauerkraut than cole slaw, and I've NEVER eaten cole slaw!

:puke: :puke: :puke:

This, sadly, from a person with 50% German ancestry.

20. Depends on the slaw.
If fresh, crisp and and not swimming in dressing, I may eat it.

21. Only certain places give you really good cole slaw.
Most restaurants' cole slaw is horrible. But not all. Applebee's has kick-ass slaw.

22. I'd say the percentage eaten is in
inverse proportion to the amount of goopy mayo stuff it's swimming in. I'll eat a little slaw, but I want to *see* the veggies--not just imagine they are in there. The best slaw I had was Cabbage--green and purple, with carrot (loads of carrot) a little vinegar and a dash of sugar--Russian friend made it. Worst was a diner concotion that was white--white mayo, white cabbage, white carrot (too goopy to be orange). Looked like something already eaten and come back.
