Even what I consider the epicenter of (pork) BBQ country – the Carolinas – do it. (Though, personally, I almost always ask for slaw on the side, as well as sauce.) ---

Even what I consider the epicenter of (pork) BBQ country – the Carolinas – do it. (Though, personally, I almost always ask for slaw on the side, as well as sauce.) I live in NC and it’s generally served on the side here, though some places will ask if you want it on the sandwich. ---

> [@AskNott](#): > > I have heard of Coke cake. I suppose it’s like Mayonnaise Cake, which uses the mayo as the acid side of the acid/base mix that makes all non-yeast cakes rise. Mayo is mostly eggs and oil, so it fits in a cake. Mayo cake is a chocolate cake, which mostly hides the mayo flavor. I don’t like it much. As for the Jack Daniel’s, that would overcome a lot of other objections. If it tastes at all like mayo someone fucked up. I’ve made it lots of times and no one I’ve sprung it on has ever pegged that it has mayo in it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pineapple-casserole-what-the-hell/806770.md?page=2)
