Daddy’s Pocket Knife Slaw

Every Southern girl thinks her daddy is the most intelligent, funniest, most talented, and most special. I am no exception. There is hardly anything my daddy can’t do, and to top it all off he is an amazing cook. Our friends are always clamoring for him to make this slaw when we have a get-together. I know exactly what you are thinking, slaw? Who gives a damn about slaw! Slaw is just an afterthought. Well, not his! It’s quite spectacular—just ask the man himself! The cabbage doesn’t have to be cut perfectly—you could even use a pocket knife if that is all you have! And let me tell you, it just so happens to be the perfect side to my pork shoulder roast—the crisp, tangy bite balances out the rich, smoky meat every single time.
