I've been making th is for a number of years now. I drain the cabbage a
couple of hours before adding the dressing.


Here is the recipe for cole slaw from Corky's in Memphis. This is the best
I've tasted. Many ingredients are the same in other slaws- the difference
must be the celery seeds, vinegar, and mustard. Don't leave anything out. It
is perfect.

Corky's Cole Slaw
-serves 6

1 med. head green cabbage, shredded
2 med. carrots. grated
1 green pepper finely diced
2 TBS onion, grated
2 cups mayonnaise
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 TBS celery seeds
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. white pepper

Mix vegetables in a bowl. Mix remaining ingredients in another.

Mix together and toss well.

Cover and refrigerate 3-4 hours.

Water. Cabbage contains a lot of water and once everything is mixed, the
dressing becomes very diluted. After grating, Ill let it sit and squeeze a
lot of water out of it.

As for the Habs and Japs, a sweet, mild mannered, Polish boy like me will
have none of that stuff in slaw.

ahh got it
doing a lil pork this saturday and I'm giving this a try, It looks
pretty good, But a bit of jalapeno or red pepper flakes in your
slaw isn't a bad thing at all.

For those who like it, perhaps. It's a matter of taste :-) I'm with Ed
on this.

I grate it fairly fine so, yes, some water comes out. Salt helps, but I
tried it once and it was too salty (for us) in the end.

This slaw is awesome with pork or anything for that matter
I try to remember to pick up a qt when i'm doing some butts.
I think there is something missing in the recipe, because I've never been
able to duplicate it exactly.
Still good, but sumpthins missin'
