we used to go to an all-you-can-eat fish fry place on
Friday nights. one thing i always liked the most wasn't
the fish as much as the cole slaw that i would put on

are there other combinations of foods that you wouldn't

What is not normal about coleslaw with fish and chips. It's a pretty
standard combination around here.

I have mentioned my dislike of vinegar elsewhere, but I love the little pots
of lime pickle I get in Indian restaurants.

I will dip any item from the menu in that.

Coleslaw ON the chips? That is a little unusual.

i do too...

It may seem an odd way to eat coleslaw, but it is not an odd combination
of foods.

I'm not much of a dunker, except for soaking Oreos in milk
until they're soft. Haven't had Oreos in years, though.

Probably the oddest thing I do is put potato chips on
sloppy joes or tuna salad sandwiches. But it's rare that
I have chips on hand.

Cindy Hamilton

Buffalo chicken wraps.
Tortillas. Boneless thighs, cooked in pieces. Wrap with coleslaw, blue cheese, hot sauce,
Egg edges on a flour tort and wrap this up. Oven for big but use the small wraps like an eggroll and deepfry.
The slaw makes it.

I keep hearing that but my limited understanding of pulled pork
sandwiches is that they are often served that way. FWIW, I polished off
some pulled pork for lunch today and had coleslaw on it. It was delicious.

I don't often have french fries and tend to have them only if they are
especially good. IMO, all good fries need is a bit of salt... sprinkled
on the fries within seconds of coming out of the fryer. They are also
great with gravy. A lot of people here have them with vinegar or
ketchup (yech).

To my dad cole slaw was an entree, in fact it was the main event of a
meal... anything cabbage he'd not sleep until he ate the last bit...
especially kraut... he was definitely a cabbage soup addict.

People over here eat a bunch of stuff that most Americans wouldn't think of putting together nor would they thinking of eating. Ketchup and eggs, shoyu and rice, Spam on top of rice, taro leaves with octopus, taro leaves with canned corn beef, green banana with stew, pancakes with coconut syrup, etc, etc, etc.

Some folks find pulled pork with coleslaw in a sandwich to be disgusting. Beats me why that is. It all seems so harmless to me.

You might be one of those people that prefer not to mix up foods. My son and my OCD Chinese buddy are like that. They'll separate their food items and eat each of them in sequence. Near as I can figure, they're trying to organize and maintain control and order in their lives. In my case, I'm the kind of guy that believes that shit happens and am willing to take life as it presents itself. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I don't care much for the combination in a sandwich either, but I do like
both of them.

Or dunked in a chocolate shake as songbird suggested. It breaks my
heart. Yesterday, we had In-N-Out burgers. I had a double double with
cheese, onion and pickles, fries and a chocolate shake. I squirted
ketchup on the fries. What an idiot!
Fries dipped in a chocolate shake is a taste from my youth that I
cherish and I blew it. I won't make that mistake again.

Lots of people over here eat ketchup on eggs. I did so myself, until I
went to college. I stopped putting ketchup on my eggs so the rich kids
wouldn't think I was a rube.

Interesting to me that you both admit they are complementary side
by side on a plate but don't care for both on a sandwich. Must
just be a regional thing. My mother never cooked this. First time
I ever had a bbq sandwich was from a tiny old restaurant near
Williamsburg. I just stopped in one night on the way to Virginia
Beach.

I bought a couple of their bbq sandwiches. In NC and Virginia bbq
sauce is the thin vinegar based. And they automatically topped
the sandwich with a good coleslaw. OMG! I immediately became a
fan. Those were food heaven to me. From then on, I always
stopped there anytime I drove by.

Back then it was a tiny Mom&Pop stand. Word got around and they
actually spread and now known here as the best Virginia has to
offer. I agree. Pierces BBQ. Mom and Pop are long dead but
their reputation of the best will probably last forever.

Anyway....my forgotten point is cole slaw on the side or on the
bun is just what you get used to. A bbq sandwich without cole
slaw would be plain, boring, blah to me. I always make my own and
that darn bun gets equal amounts of pulled pork with seasoning
and equal amount of a great coleslaw. Add a large pile of very
salty potato chips (on the side) and you have a meal for the
gods@!

I don't really care much for coleslaw, but I do enjoy it on a pulled
pork sandwich.

When I was younger I always had ketchup with scrambled eggs. I don't use
much ketchup these days. The majority of the ketchup I do use goes into
and on top of meatloaf. I do like a little ketchup with fried egg
sandwiches and western omelet sandwiches.

I love mustard and hot kraut on a hotdog, so I tried slaw on a hotdog,
only thing more disgusting is ketchup on a hotdog.

I don't like cole slaw in any sandwich, I'll have my slaw on the side.
I don't like pulled pork either, it was invented when a pork roast was
over cooked and it fell apart into strings. I've never found a BBQ
sauce that I liked, a disgustingly sweet condiment.

Not often but I still do that. Scrambles eggs, I often put a bit
of ketchup just on the last 1/4 of them. I like it fine.

Just last night I made two egg and cheese sandwiches on toast. As
always, the first sandwich is just that...egg and cheese. The
second one is the same but I add a good amount of ketchup to it.
That's always my 2nd to eat and my "dessert" sandwich. There's
no shame in eating whatever combination you like.

Give me the chips on the sandwich and the cole slaw on the
side.

Who the heck wants hot cole slaw?

Your best bet is to eat a Spam musubi while traveling. It tastes better after a long trip on the road. You can stop and enjoy the sights while partaking. If the weather's bad, you can eat it in the car.

It is true that, for hundreds of years, a musubi always tastes better when you're hungry and weary from traveling and in need of a small respite. You can find Spam musubi and variations in all 7-11s in Hawaii. It's all so very perfect. Thank you, Jesus!

Ketchup on eggs is a thing in this state. It was surprising to me that some people didn't think it was the correct and perfect thing to do with a bottle of ketchup. My understanding is that commies and rich folks find the practice distasteful.
