Slaw style

[mosparky]

Someone recently posted to a necrothread by Foamheart re his mom's coleslaw and that reminded me, I been meaning to attempt a poll on the subject.
I enjoy a little slaw sometimes (wife hates it). In my adventures I've noticed slaw seems to have 2 cuts and 2 basic sauce categories. I don't eat enough of it to really have a personal favorite style.
Cuts are either shredded or grated (chipped). Sauces are either vinegar and oil or mayo (miracle whip) based. Which makes for 4 choices. Which do you prefer ?
Not really looking for recipes, but post them up if you like.

If it's good, I like it.

If it's creamy, I like it wet.

Creamy, vinegary, sweet or spicy... Bring it.

Duke's Mayo based....NO Miracle Whip

Seems to be a love it or hate it with coleslaw. I love chopped or shredded with a mayo based dressing, and always make it for pulled pork sandwiches.

I like KFCs coleslaw although I haven't had any in a year or more. So I don't know if they've changed it up or not.

I like it about any way you make it. One of my favorites is Ginger Lime Coleslaw.

Shredded with a Duke's mayo base. I put a couple heaping TBSP of the Duke's in a bowl, add a splash or 2 of white vinegar, a squeeze of fresh lemon, coarse pepper, and some sugar. It's all done by taste. Pour over the shredded cabbage, add in a couple of TSP of dill relish, mix well then let it sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Taste and add salt and more pepper as needed. Also can add chopped, pickled jalapenos for something a little different...

Shredded with mayo and vinegar.

Love the KFC slaw .
I like most types of slaw , but mayo based and shredded on PP or with some fried fish is hard to beat .

Totally agree, and since it's only to two of us and we don't want to be eating slaw for a week. KFC fits the bill in both taste and quantity. I've tried the local grocers and I didn't care for it. Kinda bland. We've made our own in the past but if we're not doing corned beef and cabbage in the same time frame then we waste a half a head of cabbage. Neither my wife or I are huge fans of cooked cabbage outside of it being paired with corned beef.

Probably not popular, but I prefer vinegar based slaw and not sweet. IMHO it balances out the smoke and spice of BBQ including a pile of it on a good pulled pork sandwich.

Cabbage (grated or shredded), mayo, splash of white vinegar, a little sugar, celery seed, salt/coarse black pepper...as for amounts, I go by taste. I think the toughest part is getting the balance of vinegar/sugar "right" (to suit your taste).

Occasionally, I'll add a shredded carrot for snicks and giggles.

I read someone's post this morning where they add a shredded granny smith apple...that sounded YUMMY (which is why I'm perusing slaw recipes right now!).

 

[sawhorseray]

On a lark I shredded a Granny Smith apple into a batch of slaw I made a week ago, loved the addition! I've also been using smokin Al's dressing recipe, replacing the sugar with Splenda, it's a big hit here. RAY

I buy the bagged shredded cabbage with carrot when in the mood for coleslaw. Keeps for weeks in the fridge and don't have to buy a whole head unless my wife is in the mood for her cabbage dishes.
If just coleslaw, I like a mayo (use Duke's) sauce and thin with water.
If looking to top pp then I want an oil and vinegar sauce with a few shakes of Carolina mop or Texas Pete's to tang it up.
Lots of fresh crack mixed peppercorns to either
