"There are three kinds of Southern slaws: barbeque slaw, cole slaw, and yellow slaw. Barbeque slaw is a western North Carolina tradition made with chopped cabbage, pungent vinegar, and red pepper. Cole slaw is what most people in Georgia consider slaw-primarily cabbage and mayonnaise. Yellow, or mustard slaw is more commonly found in South Carolina and Eastern North Carolina (main ingredients are cabbage and mustard). Try a spoonful of this slaw on Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Mama's Barbecue Sauce (see related recipe) for a sloppy, glorious treat. Cook time is chill time. Adapted from Chef Virginia Willis' cookbook, "Bon Appetit, Y'All"."
