2If you change lettuce to cabbage, it sounds like Cole Slaw. – Kristina Lopez Dec 17 '13 at 18:58

I believe you are referring to coleslaw - it's actually cabbage rather than lettuce, and is considered a side-dish. It's often served with chips (French Fries here in the US) as an accompaniment to hot and cold roast meats as well as batter-fried dishes such as chicken, clams or fish. Coleslaw dressing can be creamy or vinegary in the US, and it's largely a regional difference - in Southern Cuisine, coleslaw dressing is primarily vinegar, northern recipes call for mayo or sour cream. Reviewing some recipes online, in the UK it appears that coleslaw tends to have both creamy and vinegary components to the dressing.

2Coleslaw isn't eaten with roast dinners anywhere in the UK, unfortunately (or rather, fortunately, because it would be gross). – ElendilTheTall Dec 26 '13 at 22:18

Do you mean "liquor"? Liquor is a parsley sauce to which vinegar is often added. It's usually eaten with pie and mash.

Although more commonly associated with London, it is eaten in the north of England too. – Red Spatula Dec 17 '13 at 21:05

2Pie and mash is eaten everywhere, but "liquor" is definitely a London thing. – Vince Bowdren Dec 18 '13 at 16:46
