Pickles by Brian Crane for September 13, 2015

If I recall, “cole” is another word for “cabbage.”

“Coleslaw” comes from the Dutch words for “cabbage salad.”

Earl will want the potatoes “smashed” in his potato salad.

Sorry no potato shmalad.Could you go for a nice tree bean salad?

How about a nice Hawaiian punch?

It’s actually “kohl slaw”. Made from that black eyeliner that the ancient Egyptians wore.

from the Dutch Koolsla, “Cabbage Salad”

…and yet, she loves him.

I like the slaw from KFC. I found a recipe for it, and it’s very tasty. I make a batch almost every week.

I generally skip the salad and eat another burger.BTW, Opal incorrectly referred to Earl’s cooking technique as “barbecue.” Technically, Earl is grilling.

In the south, it is simply referred to as “slaw.”

Looks like Opal’s yelling again…She’s back to normal.

He just likes to mess with her…

I want me some dat coldslaw.

Cole’s Law: Thinly sliced cabbage

Love the dog catching the flipping’ burger!

We wish Templo S.U.D. could just enjoy the strip for what it is: pure fun.

The “cole” in “coleslaw” comes from the same root as “kale.” Here’s the entry in my Web site:http://public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/coldslaw.html

I think he’s trolling her now.

Where’s the beef?

Google it; Earl’s pronunciation was used in mid-19th century England, but apparently didn’t catch on. And if they were going to continue arguing, Opal would no doubt be yelling at him to explain what “shmalad” is, before she goes trying to make any.

Best coleslaw in the world can be found at Ben’s Kosher Deli, located in (among other places) New York and Florida.

In the South my DH grew up in, no veggie was ever served any way but cooked to death. They never heard of fresh salad.

I always used to mix up “Coleslaw” with a “Coldsore” you find above your lip!

potato… potato… It makes no difference to me.

I love Earl and Opal. They are perfectly matched.

Yes,yes I do love myself !

Zofy, Templo is fun too. Just enjoy all.

Always need Pinto Beans W/Jalapeno. Plus Cold Slaw and Potato Schmald!

Got yer goat!

Coal Saw…no…Cloleslaw…no..Potato salad…yep….with bacon bits….done!

Earl is talking like Mooch from Mutts.

Thanks, Templo; I already knew that the German word for cabbage is “kohl.”Makes sense that the spelling was simplified for English.

So where does kohlrabi come in. Related to cabbage, but so is lettuce, califlower, etc.
