  1. I wanted to let the gal looking for the slaw recipe that there’s a great one that looks simular to yours pictured at http://www.yummly.com Kalua pork sliders with pineapple mango slaw hope this helped. Would work wonderful with the Asian sloppy joes thank you for this delicious recipe.

  2. A very interesting recipe that I would like to try. What I miss however is a receipe for Napa cabbage and pineapplslaw. So I went on the internet and found one on the website of Dole. The picture of that recipe din not ressemble the picture here-above. I guess totally different ingredients.
    Is there a way to get the slaw-recipe meant here-above?
    Thanks a bunch,
