I've been a big veggie eater since I was a teenager and cabbage is one of my favorite vegetables. I prefer it cooked. But, if I eat it raw, it has to be shredded or chopped because I hate the way it squeaks on my teeth.

I love cole slaw and add it to a hot dog or ham sandwich readily.

My favorite slaw was what I used to get at Friendly's restaurants in New England. Fresh. Chopped. Crisp. Not too much mayo. And a little hot spice of unknown orgin.

I found a recipe for warm slaw that I tried this weekend. Cabbage and apple. Bacon. Dressing of vinegar, water, brown sugar, bacon fat and celery seed. Turned out well enough that there were no leftovers.

Any other favorites out there?
