I thought Cole's Law was that:
When served coleslaw at dinner, either no one eats their coleslaw or one person eats everyone's.

As someone who has lived in Tennessee and North Carolina, I sure do miss good pulled pork. I'm in Texas now, and while brisket is edible, it isn't my definition of barbecue.

I'm in Memphis, and I had Central BBQ for lunch... pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on it; baked beans, home cooked potato chips, and two ribs on the side. Washed it down with a Newcastle Brown Ale.

I hate you. But in an attempt to make you jealous as well, I brew my own beer and always keep a 5 gallon keg of a Newcastle Brown Ale clone on draft in my living room.
6
I am jealous. As a beer lover I've always wanted to try brewing my own. My hats off to you sir or madam.

You're just not going to the right places, man. We do pretty good BBQ here, it's just not as popular here as it is in places like NC and TN. However, what we lack in good BBQ we make up for 10000x in good Tex-Mex.

People from the US sure do eat some nasty ass food.

You're a bad person.

Dude, have you ever had a pulled BBQ pork sandwich (two pickles in the middle, extra sauce)? It is one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten, and I say that as a food lover who's lived in four countries, visited three times that number, and tried every new dish I could get my hands on.

Probably because a significant portion of the population came from Britain, the land of congealed blood pies.

Think unsexy thoughts, think unsexy thoughts, think unsexy...

agreed. now I'm hungry.

Just reading the words "BBQ pulled pork" in a URL makes my mouth water.

In North Carolina it seems to be the custom to place the slaw on top of the pork inside the roll. Quite good that way. Also, Hot dog with chili and slaw on top is a local custom.
What kind of sauce to put on the pork is quite a raging debate between eastern and western North Carolina and their southern neighbor, for three different Carolina BBQ sauce traditions.

Mom calls this 'cold slaw'.
And she calls pizza 'pitza'.

Are you of Filipino origin? My grandmother calls the beach the bitch, used in context of the sentence "Hawaii has many beautiful beaches" hilarity ensues.
She too uses cold slaw and pitza.
15
I say oddvacado and expresso. Just to be a dunce though.
4
I say "Avogadro" and make jokes about 6.02e23 molecules of it in a guacamole.
24
I bet those jokes make people erupt with laughter

One of my friends is a barista, he says expresso.
It is painful.

don't forget about Jalapino! (ga lap in oh)

My mate Aaron is Filipino, and his mum pronounces his name "A-aron", saying the A twice. Seriously? You chose the name!

First I said 'A-aron' out loud, and then I started laughing, also out loud.

No, anglosaxon UK type here.
1
To be honest in some parts of the UK the pronunciation of cold slaw and coleslaw is only a hair different.
2
I call it cold slop and never eat it.

I thought it was "cold slaw" until I was 30 years old.

I'm 27 and just found out that it's not "cold slaw". I won!

I tell this joke! Fuck you. Receive an upvote.

Cole's Law: discussions about cabbage will inevitably digress to vinegar vs. mayonnaise debates.
5
It's similar to the BBQuestion: vinegar or tomato?
2
Both.

I actually made up what I thought Cole's Law was before I clicked it, in order to feign remembering the article.
Whoops.

Nothing beats Primanti Brothers coleslaw on a cheesesteak.
Vinegar > Mayonnaise

I find it interesting that based on the article, cole slaw is a side dish for french fries.
Coleslaw is generally eaten as a side dish with foods such as barbecue, French fries, and fried chicken.

I never heard of it until I was an adult, and for years I thought it was "cold slaw".

Cole Slaw?

My old man makes the best slaw known to man. Last weekend we made a pork shoulder smoked for ~10 hours and had it on BBQ sandwiches with the slaw, so fucking good it should be illegal.
1
This is the only food I cannot enjoy without black or white pepper added. And for me it has to be added when it is made, adding it later doesn't work for me. Also I hate when coleslaw is too sweet but it has to be a little bit sweet or else has to be made with a really sweet cabbage.
Something I like to do is shred leeks into my coleslaw. Not too many though, not too many.
1
I prefer a vinegar based slaw dressing. Try a jicama, carrot, and granny smith apple slaw with chili powder, lime juice, a little oil, and cilantro. Celery seed in any other slaw is a must. Forget the sweet watery mayonnaise based dressings. Whatever floats your boat, but I love a good tangy slaw on my pulled pork sandwich. .

TIL about Cheeslaw. Sounds disgusting!

I'm prepared for my downvotes, and I'll take 'em as they come, but cabbage tastes better fermented than covered in mayonnaise.

PS: "Pupusas con curtido" The best food EVER!
I am prepared for the real downvotes. I eat my cabbage raw. Deliciously fresh and crunchy.
In fish tacos.
damn tasty they is
I make Kim Chi, because I like my cabbage HOT
And absurdly foul smelling.
Exactly! But that's only because I stuff my cabbage up my ass!
I love good coleslaw, kimchi, and sauerkraut.
Oh yes, kimchi is delicious!
Kimchi smells like grocery store dumpster.
EDIT: sauerkraut is awesome, though.
EDIT2: what? truth hurts, dunnit? If you don't believe me, take a good whiff of a restaurant/grocery store dumpster, then -- some fresh Kimchi.
I've smelled some bad kimchi before... not pleasant, but not typical. I also think bleu cheese smells like vomit, but tastes good and not vomit-y.
I have to agree about bleu cheese, though I also love the hell out of it. As for kimchi, I've only tried it once at a Thai restaurant, and found it neither good nor bad... Mostly like boiled cabbage. The smell, however, is rather unmistakable. We had a Korean girl work for us for a while, and she brought kimchi for lunch at least once a week. Now, we're a very diverse shop -- we have Russians, Serbs, a Philippino, a Polak, native Americans, and just plain Americans... The whole office told her to never bring kimchi to work again, because of the smell.
I'm not a troll. Just not digging the kimchi fragrance.
I work at a grocery store, and no it does not. Grocery store dumpster is a truly vile stench.
Sauerkraut is also delicious. I'll have it plain, or on a sausage, or otherwise. Mmmmm!
Isn't that sauerkraut?
Kimchi is a general name for a fermented dish made primarily with cabbage.
But unlike sauerkraut, kimchi has various seasonings like chili peppers.
Kimchi is fermented, while sauerkraut is merely pickled, if I have my facts straight.
Cabbage in any form is delicious. I like it shredded, fried, boiled, kimchied, whatever.
Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!
15 birds, in 5 fir trees
TIL that sauerkraut is fermented cabbage. Still delicious though.
Ah, yes.... Liberty cabbage.
There's a Korean/Greek deli that just started to deliver. They have many kimchi dishes, but a gyro with kimchi... you can not imagine the awesomeness... so tasty!
When will the cabbage eaters put down their arms, set aside their differences and instead celebrate their shared love our leafy green friend!
