In Zimbabwe if you ask for a salad, I am 99% sure you will get coleslaw. It was only in high school that I learnt it was called coleslaw salad otherwise it was just salad. Coleslaw salad is for special meals like Christmas usually as a side dish with rice and chicken. Almost all the parties and weddings I attended in Zimbabwe served coleslaw salad, granted I am not a party person so it’s not that many. Cabbage is really inexpensive and the dressing is sold ready-made so it almost a no brainer for feeding many. Besides anyone can make coleslaw salad.
