    Norwegian coleslaw is a classic recipe.  The slaw has a subtle sweet and sour flavor.  The sweet comes from sugar and the sour from vinegar.  This is a recipe that gets better with time, so it is actually best to make a few days in advance.

    We served this Norwegian coleslaw as a side dish to our seafood feast, and it was a nice accompaniment to all the rich seafood, mayo and butter.

    Have you seen a cabbage shredder before?  It is in the background of the photo, pretty cool!
