should raw cabbage and raw carrot be included in a salad

[Electric_Andy]

I love cabbage, raw and cooked. A bit of sweetheart raw with mayo is really nice, often have that if I've no carrots or onions. I'm not a fan of raw carrot in salads, just in coleslaw

we take it in turns, today should have been my turn but as I was painting at my lovely wifes request, she offered, I accepted, I just didn't know I was going to get raw veg

You can stick just about anything in with a vinaigrette. I prefer coleslaw made with vinaigrette to mayo or crème fraîche.

The horrid acidic stuff you get in tubs is. Homemade is great.

Same goes for potato salad.

Mayo and salad cream are the most disgusting foodstuff known to humankind and have no place in a civilised society.

I'd rather pour Duckhams over my salad. It might taste better.

Love a salad cream sandwich.

According to Uncle Monty...... There is a certain je ne sais quoi about a firm young carrot.

He'd do better leaving that to the hens, they've been doing it for more than a few years now.

Me too.

I will also make coleslaw with finely shredded sprouts, leeks and, grated celeriac and carrot.

Or red cabbage even.

He asked for therapy but the fishmonger gave him telapia. Easy mistake to make.

To be honest he is always carping on.

Red cabbage, yes.

coleslaw is the devils work

So is salad cream! I've bought coleslaw,but only when reduced to about 15p and as usual with buying too much almost out of date stuff,some of it goes off before you can eat it. After a few days coleslaw starts to bubble in the container. I've always wondered what it'd taste like.

Oh my goodness, shop made out of date coleslaw? It sounds disgusting... come come Accy, how hard is it to make some coleslaw? Admittedly I used to retch when my Mum and Sister ate the shop bought one, but then as you get older and realise that coleslaw is just raw veg in a dressing, you cotton on that you can therefore make it with whatever you damn well want in it. Any raw veg, any dressing, your choice. Hell, you can even make it really delicious with herbs, pickles, hot sauce, whatever stuff you want!
Please tell me you'll chop up some veg tomorrow and eschew bargain bin Tesco bubbling coleslaw forever.
