The first part comes across as Yankees (do they seriously spell it that way in the Netherlands? Yikes... or, should I say, Jikes.) eat coleslaw. What exactly 'op de slee' means, I haven't the foggiest. "de" is probably "the", and "op" is some kind of indicator like "in" or "on" or something, but I don't know what. As for slee, I haven't a clue. The guess earlier in the thread of "sleigh" seems reasonable, but it didn't come to mind.
For disclosure, I know no language with germanic roots other than English, and have spend less than a week of my life in the Netherlands, during which time I certainly did not hear anything about Yankees or coleslaw.
