A while back I found this book "The best Top Secret Recipes " at a second hand store. It has a bunch of recipes of famous resturants that some cook figured out by trail and error. So the other day we sponsered a grill out at the dive shop: Ribs, skins and this cole slaw. It tastes almost like the original


8 c. very finely chopped cabbage (1 Head)
¼ c shredded carrot (1 med Carrot)
2Tbs minced onions
1/3 c. granulated Sugar
½tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
¼ c. milk
½ c mayonnaise
¼ c. buttermilk
1 ½Tbs white vinegar
2 1/2Tbs lemon juice

1) Be sure that the cabbage, carrots and onion are chopped up into very fine pieces ( about the size of rice kernels)
2) Combine the sugar, salt, pepper, milk, mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar and lemon juice and beat until smooth
3) Add the cabbage, carrots and onions. Mix well
4) Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving (a must!)

Tidbit:

The critical part of this cole slow recipe is the flavor-enhancement period prior to eating. Be absolutly certain the cole slaw sits in the fridge for at least a couple of hours prior to serving for a great tasting slew of slaw.
 
Sounds good. I'll give it a whirl.

It is true about refrigerator time for a lot of recipes. There is nothing worse,IMO, than to be served warm cole slaw.
 
Having worked at KFC, I can tell you how it was mixed. We wore shoulder length vet style gloves and hand mixed 50# tubs of the stuff that was so cold my arms would go numb. The "sauce" stuff came in 1 gallon jars to.

Want to learn about gravy or cooking chicken ;)
 
CBulla, I worked there as well and I can remember doing that along with the barrell that spun on it's side to do the marinating(sp) of the chicken with the secret herbs and spices. :eyebrow:

But it was one of the funnest jobs I've every had, never went hungry.....

Right on Wildbill... never went hungry, sure ate a lot of chicken and biscuts since there were always racks left over that you couldn't store... they had to go somewhere and that somewhere may as well been home instead of the dumpster!!
