The sandwich is commonly served with a side portion of either coleslaw, or potato salad, and often accompanied by a pickle.
It offers barbecue along with side dishes including potato salad, beans, coleslaw, salad, and dinner rolls.
It can also be used to liven up a coleslaw.
The recipe for coleslaw as it is most commonly prepared is fairly young, as mayonnaise was invented during the mid-18th century.
Its longer shelf life means it is sometimes substituted for coleslaw.
Prepared in this manner, coleslaw can be pickled for up to four weeks if it is stored in an airtight container.
It is generally topped with coleslaw, onion, mustard, relish, and occasionally paprika or chili powder.
These are often accompanied by baked beans, french fries, coleslaw, or toast.
