I wonder if this is meant to be more like cooked red cabbage (although
white of course). Very German.

I wondered that, too, Kris. I thought it was a recipe for a cooked cabbage
dish (to be served hot) until I saw that it should be chilled. I'm not a
cole-slaw fan but I love hot cooked cabbage. And grandma was German I
might try it as a hot simmered cabbage dish one of these days.
