It must be the cabbage – in the East it has to be strong enough to withstand
torrid summers and horriblly cold, wet winters, while our West Coast
cabbage is kind of namby-pamby, never forced to stand up to a weather
challenge. Ergo, Strong cabbage equals good slaw. QED
Also the fact that you were hungry enough to chew asphalt when you sat down
to eat may have contributed to the taste of the kohl slaw.
Don't send any scorching days our way, please!
