The Rule of Slaw
In keeping with the oh-so-helpful nature of my previous post, I present our next lesson for the day, courtesy of the staff cafeteria.
Dear Mayo Cafe,
I realize that you are just a food service-owned cafeteria, and may not know that there is an irrefutable law of cooking which cannot be broken. Despite your heinous crime in regards to the Grill Special™ today, I am willing to overlook this error, as long as you adhere to my tutelage.
Observe:
+ 
= cole slaw
Now, the sauce itself doesn't so much matter, as long as it contains some kind of oil, some kind of vinegar, and some kind of -naise. So, we will regard the sauce as a stand-in. Note that it is the sauce, not the cabbage, that is exchangeable.
Observe again:
+ 
¹ coleslaw
+ 
¹ coleslaw
+ 
¹ coleslaw
+ 
¹ coleslaw
+ 
¹ coleslaw
And, finally, please note that this is also true...
+ 
¹ coleslaw
In summary: Just because something is green and paired with slaw sauce, that doesn't make it cole slaw.
Love,
Sarah
Warning: Despite my assertions, Mr. Winkle may, in a future calendar, try to tell you that he is in fact Cole Slaw. Do not believe him.
Warning #2: Despite my assertions, Mohinder Suresh may, in a future episode, try to tell you that he is in fact not green. Do not believe him.
