I make this in a lage bowl then transfer it to a gallon freezer bag for easy
storage in the refrigerator. It's even better in a couple of days. You can
add habanero pepper of you prefer a hotter taste.

Shredded broccoli stems with a little shredded carrot and red cabbage mixed
in. It comes in a12 oz. bag, you add your own salad dressing or I guess you
could use it in stir frys.

It's broccoli that is chopped up and sold in a bag to make slaw out of. It
might contain other ingredients. Not sure since I don't care for broccoli
so I wouldn't buy it. Regular slaw is usually just shredded carrots and
cabbage, sold in a bag. You then add your dressing of choice and whatever
other ingredients you want. I rarely buy it that way since it is easy and
much cheaper to make my own.

Blimey.

The things I miss by buying fresh veges at the market and
using a knife.

DH won't eat anything with carrot in it. I guess being color blind makes
them look like shit to him.

I presume that he doesn't drink beer.

Obviously his imagination is more fertile when looking at
solid objects. Do you know the Australian colloquial term
for beer? Hint - it is related to the colour and is also one
of the results of imbibing it:-)

Bag Salad is one of the hottest new food items over here.
Many folks don't cook at all. They only order, open, or assemble their
meals.

I use broccoli slaw because my wife likes it, it's quick to use, and keeps
well in the fridge.
One could certainly take the time to peel & julliene fresh stems and shed
cabbage if they so desired.
The result would certainly be fresher, more colorful and flavorful. Depends
on the time one has available.

Beer, unlike carrots, does not look like turds on his plate.

Most of the people I know don't cook at all, ever. I do cook but I also buy
bagged salad. The reason I buy it is that I like a blend of greens and if I
were to buy a head of each type of lettuce and combine them, I'd have salad
coming out of my ears! I also buy the peeled "baby" carrots and the sliced
apples in individual packs. These are easy to tuck into Angela's lunch and
I've found she is much more likely to eat something that comes prepackaged
than if I were to package it myself. I also buy fruit salad. Yes, it is
expensive, but again if I were to buy the same mix of whole fruits, I'd have
fruit coming out my ears!

About the only time I ever bought the packages slaw was when I was staying
with my in-laws some years back. I was often fixing food for a large number
of people in an unfamiliar kitchen and also doing additional work in caring
for my disabled mother in law. So anything I could do in terms of shortcuts
was a big help!

Try this Pete:

For example the one in the fridge right now includes
cabbage, broccoli, cauli, sweet corn, spanish onion,
capsicum (bell pepper), olives, celery, and carrot.

I only need to make it up every few days. Properly sealed
and stored it keeps well. I used it for at least one meal
daily - yesterday lunch stir-fry with salmon, garlic,
ginger, oyster sauce and fish sauce; day before as a vege
curry stir-fry with garlic, ginger, turmeric, chili, cloves,
cumin, garam masala, coconut cream; this morning sauteed as
an omelette filling with a little cheese on top.


Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

That looks like a useful trick. I'll have to chop up a batch next weekend.
