This is a wonderfully colorful cole slaw perfect for celebrating Mardi Gras or any other time. It is presented in the official colors of Mardi Gras: purple, green, and gold. The sauce is a perfect blend of sweet and tart, with a little cayenne pepper for bite. Do not dress the coleslaw ahead, or it will become soggy.

Pittsburgh Ham Barbecues
I grew up eating these saucy, sweet, tangy Pittsburgh ham barbecue sandwiches loaded with paper-thin sliced chipped chopped ham sold at deli counters in Pittsburgh. Islay's is the original and still the best chopped ham if you can find it.
