I just left a restaurant that generally has decent food, but my lunch came with a little cup of slaw. I knew just by looking at it that it would be pretty much inedible. I mentioned this to SWMBO and she insisted that I taste it before passing judgment. As I expected, it was total crap.
That got me to wondering, why is it that so many places serve cole slaw that is so terrible? Especially when making a decent batch of it is so simple. Heck, even KFC can make good slaw. Why can't more places just copy KFC?
Most supermarket deli counters are among the worst offenders.
I just don't know why this is. I'm not even talking about trying to make some sort of award winning gourmet slaw. Just make it decent. Buy a bottle of slaw dressing at the store. Slice up some cabbage real fine and mix it up. Or, take some mayo, a splash of milk, some salt, pepper and a little sugar, put in the cabbage and, voila, instant decent slaw.
I know that many of you have way better recipes than that. But why can't/won't most restaurants make it so it's even edible?
