Coleslaw is a salad of carrots and cabbage, topped with mayonnaise and a vinegar blend. Although this dish is originally American, the Irish eat this salad very regularly, as a side dish with fish, meat, a sandwich or hamburger…etc. Although it’s not the most dietetic dish, it does have the merit of making us feel good about eating vegetables!
Coleslaw is not usually served as a dish in its own right. The Irish prefer it as an accompaniment to fish and chips or other typical Irish specialties.
Coleslaw uses vegetables that are a staple of Irish cuisine: cabbage and carrots. Once cut and grated, they are seasoned with a mixture of mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and lemon. The mixture gives a very special sweet and salty taste, which will delight those who are reluctant to eat green vegetables…
In any case, the use of so much fat in the preparation of a salad makes Coleslaw anything but healthy! But it’s so good!
