Taste of History: Coleslaw, a popular side dish in modern cuisine, has a rich and fascinating history. Its origins can be traced back to ancient Rome, where a similar dish made of cabbage, vinegar, eggs, and spices was enjoyed by the wealthy and elite. This early version of coleslaw, attributed to the renowned chef Marcus Gavius Apicius, can be found in his famous cookbook. However, it wasn't until the mid-18th century that coleslaw truly began to take shape into the dish we know and love today. This is thanks to the invention of mayonnaise, which proved to be a pivotal moment in coleslaw's evolution.

After all, it's all about the sunshine state
