Absolutely. I love that this is one of the few holdovers from the Dutch settlement of New York (even old New York was once New Amsterdam). Which gives me an opportunity to plug one of my favorite books, Russell Shorto's The Island at the Center of the World, seen here.
And I rather like coleslaw, myself. But I object strenuously to the term "moist dressing."

Etymology is worth a look for the fact we don't have a huge number of modern Dutch words in English.
"Moist dressing" makes me want to take a shower.
All the more reprehensible since it isn't really a necessary word to describe "dressing."
Ew, the second definition has that horrible m-word in it! As if I needed any other reasons to hate coleslaw.
