Who invented coleslaw?
You could says it's the Dutch.
Like many traditional foods, there is no one inventor. Nor is
there one way to make it -- you can have it creamy or with vinegar
and oil. It basically developed over time.
According to FoodTimeline.org: Ancient Roman cooks prepared
shredded cabbage dressed with vinegar, eggs and spices. The term
cole slaw, cabbage salad, is Dutch (koolsla, which comes from the
Latin caulis or cabbage). Mayonnaise -- for creamy coleslaw fans --
came along in the 18th century.
