There may have used to have been pineapple in it. But, I can tell you that is not the case anymore. I just finished eating some and there was no pineapple or red cabbage in it. Now I do know why there is a bite to it though. Has to be the horseradish. I love Famous Dave’s Cole Slaw.

This recipe is way too hot for Daves dressing! Maybe it should be prepared horseradish, and NOT raw grated horseradish. I don’t know if there are different heats of horseradish, but ours was so hot it made it unpleasant to eat.
