Spicy Peach Coleslaw � An Apple Is an Excellent Thing � Until You�ve Tried a Peach

You may remember this peach coleslaw from such video recipes as, Grilled Coffee and Cola Skirt Steak. It was a beautiful match, and as I ate, I couldn�t help but wonder why you don�t see peaches used in these cold cabbage salads more often.

People have no problem loading up their �slaws with grated apple and diced pineapple, so it can�t be an anti-fruit bias. I think the real reason is that a perfectly ripe peach is such an incredible experience, that it seems almost criminal to consume it any other way.

I think George du Maurier put it best when he said, �An apple is an excellent thing � until you have tried a peach.� So, is that it? Just too good to not eat as is? That could explain some of it, but just in case the real reason is that you simply hadn�t thought of it before, I�m posting this. I hope you give it a try soon. Enjoy!
