COLESLAW RECIPE – 2 WAYS | classic coleslaw + vinegar coleslaw (no mayonnaise coleslaw)

I can’t say I grew up with coleslaw and it wasn’t love at first sight either. My first experience with it was when the lady behind the bulletproof glass at the KFC on 125th Street (this was back when bulletproof glass and KFCs were all over Harlem) mixed up my order and gave me a cup of their coleslaw instead of the mashed potatoes and gravy. She didn’t seem like the type of cashier to enjoy confrontation so I grabbed my spork with a shovel and dug into that mayonnaise-covered cup.

Needless to say I stayed away from the stuff for years after that horrible experience. It scarred me enough to avoid not only coleslaw but mayonnaise altogether for a good decade.
