I have to be honest, I've never tried it, but I don't want to, either.

Also, since the Spelling Police have been called anyway, you misspelled "thicker" as "thinker."

I also don't like macaroni salad or potato salad.  That's because I don't like mayonnaise.

Some people will tell you mayonnaise is an ingredient in blue cheese dressing, which I could consume by the gallon.  These people are liars.

We have common ground! I don't like mayo either. I've often referred to it as "Satan's semen."

Mayo-based potato salad must be some weird north or northern-midwest thing. Around here, potato salad is made with mustard, not mayo.

Oh, that's odd. Potato salad in the South is made with mayo too.  There's also vinegar-based "German potato salad," but I'm not a big fan of vinegar (though I'll quietly tolerate it on a caprese salad).

Wasn't that an issue during the 2nd Caterpillar War?  Too many infratry were busy guarding the buried coleslaw to tend to the War Goats?   I seem to recall that the War Goats rebelled, ate the infantry and buried the remains in Coleslaw.

Yes.

I love coleslaw.  My wife's favorite kind is creamy and shredded.  Our usual recipe is a KFC knock-off.  My parents usually make a vinegar-based coleslaw, and what they put in it varies from day to day.  They often put in jalapeños and poppy seeds and other stuff you might not typically find in coleslaw.

Yes.  Type depends on what I'm eating.  If it's good old Lexington style BBQ, red slaw with just enough red pepper to provide a kick.

Fish, thin is fine.

Chips, sure, if going for the Belgian (original - fries definitely ain't 'French') experience. But not fish-and-chips. Who puts mayo on their fish supper? Not Brits, that's for sure!

Salt and malt vinegar (actually tends to be non-brewed condiment) is traditionally all you need. Ketchup is perfectly fine. Maybe some regional variance - 'chippy sauce' in parts of Scotland, mushy peas in Northern England. Maybe, just maybe, tartar sauce - though that's really only for restaurants or home (I never seen it on display, let alone anyone buy it in a chip shop). Sides are picked onions or eggs.

Tartar sauce works, I guess - it's vinegary and that's what you want - some nice acid to cut through the stodge of batter and chips. Also why ketchup is fine - it has the vinegar. I guess mayo is fine, but it's just not done (at least not without adding stuff and making it tartar).

I will take a fork, pick the chunks of cheese out of the blue cheese dressing, and eat it just like that. The larger the chunks, the better!

Hellmanns made a great blue cheese like that.there's some pizza places that get something similiar too; I'm guessing it's a restaurant-only name brand.

Tater salad down here is made with mustard. Mayo is gross! Miracle Whip is much better.

Cole slaw is delicious at some places, nasty ass shit at others. I know one place that uses their own recipe of cole slaw on po-boy sandwiches instead of mayo. It makes the po-boy absolutely fantastic.

coleslaw in a sandwich is an alright thing, though I wouldn't go out of my way to have it. I far prefer sauerkraut as a cabbage salad.

On its own it isn't really something I tend to bother with - I might eat some of it if it comes with chicken in a restaurant. I especially don't like it when its made with Salad Cream (war-time limited-ingredient mayo replacement and supposedly similar to miracle whip only thinner), preferring a bit of mayo as the dressing. Unless the mayo is Heinz's in which case yuck again!

"Macaroni salad"? I've always heard it as "pasta salad." (Perhaps because it can be made with other types of pasta besides macaroni?) Maybe that's a Minnesota/Upper Midwest thing. Potato salad is popular too, although I'm not a huge fan of it myself.

Coleslaw can stay buried, guarded and guarding the dead in Alanland. Yuck.

Pasta salad and macaroni salad are very different in my books.
Pasta salad has large noodles, and large chunks of meat and vegetables, typically with an Italian dressing. Macaroni salad is much plainer, with true macaroni noodles (which are smaller) and a mayo-based dressing.

Regarding coleslaw, the actual subject, I enjoy any variety, but wouldn't touch it until I was 16 or so. It's one of the last foods I began eating (now I'll eat almost anything :sombrero:).
My favorite coleslaw is a sweet one, made with red cabbage, diced apples, pecans, and mini-marshmallows. My mouth is watering just typing this post. I highly recommend it, though I'm not sure if it has an actual name.

I love coleslaw. I prefer it when it's sweeter, though I'll eat coleslaw that isn't sweet. I guess that since I'm less picky ever since I was a kid (~7-10 years old), I've grown fond of coleslaw (though I've still eaten it in my younger years). Never understood why it's gotten a bad rap, until I saw this thread.

Oh, and salad is the best thing to ever be created. I'll eat any salad as long as it has vegetables, fruits, croutons, and sometimes meat. Bonus points if you put a vinaigrette or some type of house dressing.

And that's just it - macaroni salad is a subset of pasta salad - because macaroni is a type of pasta.

I learned to appreciate a BBQ sandwich on plain white bread when I lived in Kansas City. Most BBQ joints there use Wonder bread. I still like buns, but there's something about some good BBQ on white bread.

It's because of the way it soaks up the meat juice and BBQ sauce.

A BBQ joint I went to in OKC a few years ago served all their meals with a whole loaf of white wonder bread.

Rudy's on the south side of Norman. Not sure if it was because we had a decently large group or not but they gave us a loaf or two of bread. I also highly recommend Ray's in Norman.

Thanks. I'll have to try it next time I'm in the OKC area.

I love cole slaw, and macaroni salad, and potato salad-though with all 3 it depends on who is making it.

What I mean by that is, some people ruin it by putting a dump truck full of sugar in their recipe.

Hate the shit! -- period!  Raw cabbage and buttermilk -- two of my least favorite things blended together in a hellish combination.  If on a menu, will always ask for potato salad or mac salad as a replacement (or fries, if that's an option). 

Now -- potato salad -- that's another thing altogether, if done right.  Don't like the usual mayo/vinegar variety (Reser's, this means you!).  My late uncle (channeling the Greek side of the family) made the best potato salad I can recall.  Mayo & yellow mustard mixed about equally, chunky boiled red potatoes, chopped celery, LOTS of sliced hard-boiled eggs, some spices & a couple pinches of salt, and finely chopped green onion.  Tried to duplicate it myself on numerous occasions, but with varying results.  Occasionally Safeway will have one of their sporadically-available "signature" mustard potato salads at their deli counters that comes reasonably close -- but that's been hit-or-miss as of late.  Also -- there was a mac salad made at a "hofbrau" up in S.F.'s Fishermens' Wharf that was outstanding -- a base of mixed mayo and Miracle Whip (a little sweet but not overly so) -- chopped white onion, minced red & green bell peppers, and decent elbow pasta.  Just the thing with a chunky pastrami hofbrau-type French dip sandwich.  Now THAT can be duplicated with relative ease (the originating establishment isn't there anymore -- my love for the stuff started with college trips to S.F. and vicinity in the late '60's). 

P.S. -- Like cooked cabbage -- as in corned beef and............

If someone started making potato salad with, say, olive oil, I would eat that by the bucketful.

I like potato salad, however I cannot eat most varieties because of the hard boiled eggs. Even when I muse about it at the store and the container ingredient list doesn't indicate it has chunks of egg, I feel I can't confidently buy it since there's no way to tell without biting into it.

I like vinegar based coleslaw, but don't care for the creamy kind.

When I was a young child, my mom made it this way-vinegar and olive oil. And yes, I did eat as much of it as I could squeeze in. She stopped doing that when things like slaw and potato salad became more readily available pre-packaged in grocery stores. I had forgotten all about this until you mentioned it.

I guess my wife will be having to attempt to make some potato salad this way this weekend!

Go to a hot dog stand in Macon, GA and they serve it on the hot dog itself. NuWay I believe is the place.

However, I heard that its a common thing in Georgia and South Carolina though!  Do not know how common, but its rumored as that!

That's how hot dogs are served at The Varsity, too.

Potato salad and coleslaw are gross. I'm not a fan of vegetables and these two dishes make them even worse. I don't like sauerkraut, or anything with cabbage in it either. I won't eat something that smells worse coming in than it does coming out.

I generally like any kind of cole slaw as long as it has actual flavor. Sometimes you taste someone's slaw and all you taste is raw cabbage, if that. I do prefer the more finely chopped.

Here in the north (pretty much anywhere in Pennsylvania) creamy and finely chopped is called "Dixie-cut." Is it called that down south as well?

I haven't heard that term before. In fact, I have seen more coarse cut cole slaw down here than I have fine cut. I usually call fine cut cole slaw "fast food" cole slaw (usually seen at KFC & Popeyes).
