No measurements, but you'll get the idea.
Fine shred 1 head cabbage and 3-5 carrots.
Mix in a coffee cup(when I was a kid, the cook used an old, heavy china diner cup) about 1/2 cup Hellman's or Best Foods(in Texas) mayo. Add 1/2 tsp sugar, salt to taste, and enough white vinegar to approximate the liquidity of heavy cream. Adjust to your taste, but it should be creamy with a definite tang. Dress the vegetables and refrigerate for a couple of hours, turning a couple of times to saturate everything.
Another Memphis boy here. Unfortunately, my family moved when I was a baby, but we took our love for BBQ and slaw. I concur with WW's recipe but my mother also added mustard to the mix and celery seeds. The key, of course, it to let it rest for a couple of hours. Don't make it too wet or when you come back later it will be soup.
And it is wonderful on top of the sandwich.
PS - Yea, I know, with a name like this I'm talking Memphis BBQ and pulled porK?
