\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606<\/p>\n
A lovely, crunchy, finely shredded slaw with a creamy sauce and with no stabilisers or gums. Red onion and chives are present, but not dominant. The mayo includes a little whipping cream, free-range egg yolk and UK dairy.<\/p>\n
Best bargain: \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606\u2606<\/p>\n A creamy, chunky coleslaw that\u2019s unctuous and moreish. Fresh, crunchy and well balanced with sweetness and acidity, this is cabbage-forward, with a little carrot and a subtle onion flavour, and a relatively straightforward mayo made with guar and xanthan gums.<\/p>\n And the rest \u2026 \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606\u2606<\/p>\n A veg-heavy, fine-cut cabbage and carrot slaw with a subtle onion twang and a refreshing sauce. A little tart, but arguably that\u2019s what one wants from a slaw. Free-range egg, too. Flavoured with mustard, but also includes a preservative (potassium sorbate) and stabiliser (xanthan gum).<\/p>\n \u00a32 for 300g at Morrisons (67p\/100g)<\/a><\/p>\n \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606\u2606<\/p>\n A medium-thick, crunchy coleslaw in a rich, free-range egg mayo.
