You don't put Cumin seeds in. You put Caraway seeds in, the German for which is KÅ«mmel. My mother was Austrian and used these and so still do my cousins in Austria. There is also a very distinctive taste difference between Caraway and Cumin. Try tasting a seed of each and you will see what I mean. Also, if you open a jar of Schwarz Caraway seeds, the aroma is amazing. I hope you don't mind me pointing this out, because you are really missing out on a fabulous flavour.

I love it because it is so light and not heavy like that mayonnaisy yuck they sell in the shops. It's also great on sandwiches!!Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123354642759073561.post-38400042703631059062008-06-20T19:08:00.000+01:002008-06-20T19:08:00.000+01:00The biggest problem I have with coleslaw in the U....The biggest problem I have with coleslaw in the U.S. is that it is way too sweet.<BR/>Your recipe does look good Sylvie, and I like the idea of the olive oil and vinegar as the dressing....I would perhaps cut the sugar amount down a bit though.Susan Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12334172650611672692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123354642759073561.post-10600228725758701942008-06-19T21:21:00.000+01:002008-06-19T21:21:00.000+01:00Sylvie - So good to see you posting again!

I like it! Caraway would be fine, too.<BR/><BR/>Raquel, I actually put more than the 1/4 tsp in (probably more like 3/4tsp) and found the cumin taste too strong but it is nice with a little bit added.Sylviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476338461415416067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123354642759073561.post-10919342386522336332008-06-19T16:21:00.000+01:002008-06-19T16:21:00.000+01:00My Dad loves slaw like this!
