Cole slaw

Cole Slaw

Cole slaw comes primarily in two forms—with a creamy sweet-sour dressing in which the vinegar is somewhat underplayed, and with a sharper dressing in which no milk product is used and the vinegar flavor is predominant. Each cook’s balance of ingredients is her own. The interplay between sweet and sour varies from household to household and is only subtly sensed by an outsider to the community, but is known well by those within!

Chicken Pot Pie from Phillis Pellman Good

Chicken Pot Pie from Phillis Pellman Good

Chicken Pot Pie is a stew cooked on top of the stove. It usually includes cut-up potatoes and is seasoned with chopped onions. Pot pie noodles “are cut thicker and used right away,” in contrast to noodles that are eaten as a side dish (which must dry before being cooked). “Pot pie has more body. They aren’t just slippery noodles,” explains one Amish man. An Amish grandmother remembers, “Mom liked to make chicken pot pie whenever we had men for silo filling or haymaking. We always had chickens, so she’d kill a few in the morning and we’d have them for lunch. Whenever we had unexpected company we could go kill a chicken! “Chicken pot pie is a meat-saving dish. Now it’s not a quick thing. Mom always had onions and potatoes to put in. And she’d make the pot pie noodles right then. She didn’t keep a supply of them on hand. When I make pot pie I put in some carrots, too, for flavor and color. It’s a good meal to make when our children come to visit.” Personal touches are a part of all these dishes. “I put a few threads of saffron in my pot pie,” explained another Amish grandmother. “It adds a little color and flavor.”
