Recipe - Coleslaw (Carter Family Favorites)

2 Green cabbage heads,fresh*
2 Apples,crisp,peeled/cored
6 Crisp celery stalks
6 Carrots,scraped/washed
1 tablespoon Celery seed
1 teaspoon Salt
1 pt Mayonnaise

* don't bother if the cabbage is the white limp variety your slaw won't
be worth the makings.

1. Cut the cabbage in quarters, place in a large bowl of wellsalted cold
water, and let stand for at least 1 hour. This is to make sure any possible
"critters" emerge nothing spoils good slaw like a manyfooted friend.
Once soaked, drain and place the cabbage on a large chopping board and chop
away like mad. The cabbage must be very finely shredded. Dump into a big
bowl and shred the apples, celery, and carrots. Add to cabbage, stir in
celery seed, salt, and mayonnaise, and blend well. 2. Refrigerate at least
2 hours before serving to allow flavors to mellow. If slaw is to be
transported to fish fry site, keep very cold mayonnaise mixture can be
deadly if allowed to stand too long at room temperature.
