The BBQ was just OK - not smoky enough or greasy enough for me! But, the slaw was really good - very finely ground, i.e., pulverized, cabbage mixed w/the sauce ingredients. I couldn't define the piquant taste at the time, but thanks to you, Sweet Willie, I know now that it was the ginger kick. The slaw was so good, in fact, that I bought a quart to go, and we ate it on ham and smoked turkey sandwiches over the next few days. R.O.'s actually sells a "slaw sandwich" ($1.05), which is, according to my sister, composed of a grilled hamburger bun with no innards except slaw! I also think it would make a tasty salad dressing. Yes, I can see that it could be addictive...
