Hi Dave,

 DD> This is a sort-of modified KopyKat of KFC coleslaw. I was surprised at
 DD> the use of Miracle Wimp so I looke at others including one from a
 DD> former KFC employee - and, yeah, the Colonel used Miracle Wimp.

 RH> And I'm not a fan of Miracle Whip. I'd use Duke's but been buying an
 RH> avocado oil based mayo the past few years, has no chemicals in it.

 DD> Only place in town I've found Duke's is at Sav-A-Lot (a "budget"
 DD> grover) I did see that Taste of Home did a comparo of various
 DD> store0bougt mayos and Duke's was the winner. Hellmans/Best Foods was
 DD> second and Kraft was far down the list.

Duke's usually does come out on top. I missed it when we were stationed
outside of the deep south, had to make do with others that generally
weren't as good. I've been in a Sav-A-Lot a couple of times and been
less than impressed. Bought a bag of chicken leg quarters one of the
times, most of the quarters were broken at the joint, had the tip of the
drumstick missing or other issues. Don't recall what else we got there
but it wasn't the quality of main line grocery stores.

 DD> Mayonnaise isn't that hard to make. Basically just eggs and oil.

Plus a few (very few) other things but yes, it's one thing I used to do
when we didn't have much money.


 DD>       Title: Copycat KFC Coleslaw
 DD>  Categories: Salads, Vegetables, Greens
 DD>       Yield: 10 servings

 DD>   If you are lucky enough to have a food processor, get it
 DD>   out of your cupboard. Start to cut up the cabbage and
 DD>   place it in the processor. While cutting up the cabbage,
 DD>   also cut up small slices of green pepper, onion, and
 DD>   carrot and add to the processor.

 DD>   If you do not have a food processor, no problem, simply
 DD>   chop the cabbage, onions, and carrots into small pieces.
 DD>   Add chopped green bell pepper if desired.

 RH> And that's why I don't like KFC slaw; it's too finely chopped for me.

 DD> It's about the "chop" as Popeyes (and Wendy's). As long as it has some
 DD> "crunch" in it I'm all right with it.

All the Popeyes places I've been to have had their cole slaw rougher
chopped than the fine stuff I've had at KFC (and other places).


 DD>       Title: Classic Mayonnaise
 DD>  Categories: Five, Sauces, Eggs
 DD>       Yield: 2 Cups

 DD>       2 lg Egg yolks
 DD>       1 c  Oil
 DD>       1 tb White wine vinegar
 DD>            Salt & fresh ground white
 DD>            - pepper
 DD>            Mustard powder

 DD>   To a medium bowl, add the yolks and whisk until smooth.

I prefer to do mine in a blender--less strain on the wrists.
