    Default Sauerkraut appreciation thread

    In this thread post how much you love sauerkraut. I just had some sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. It was great.

    Do you know how many calories are in a cup of sauerkraut? 27! It's freaking miracle food.

    Sauerkraut exists to make Reuben Sandwiches. It has no other purpose.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Sauerkraut is fantastic. I should really eat more, though lately I only seem to have it from the local German-style bratwurst stall, at my in-laws' house, or at the occasional SCA medieval feast.

    I like it, but can only handle it so often. My palate is such that the taste quickly becomes overpowering if I eat too much. Best with Polish Sausage.

    I was just going to link Google, but since you're clearly lazy I thought I'd go one step further for you. If more is needed, just ask. Might I suggest the first listed link (Wikipedia)?

    Would you like me to eat some sauerkraut for you and regurgitate it into your mouth like a baby bird?


    Literally, the name literally says exactly what it is. Sauer kraut. Sour kraut (kraut being the wonder-vegetable that is cabbage).

    Shredded, fermented (pickled?) cabbage. It's kind of sour, kind of salty, kind of super awesome.

    You can eat it cold or cook it. You can put it on things as a condiment, like sausages or hot dogs. It goes well with pork.

    Considering I don't like cabbage, and usually don't like sour things, I don't think I would like it! Although it sounds like it would be good in a burger or something like that

    I don't think I've ever had it on/in a burger. The sourness of it fits better with pork, as Unne mentioned.

    Also, I cannot believe that you actually don't like cabbage. I must assume that you've simply never had it made for you properly, which is excusable. I guess.

    To be honest, sauerkraut really isn't for everyone, as are most sour dishes.

    Cole Slaw is a good thing also made with cabbage (hi A_M). There's no need to compare or anything. All things made from cabbage are good. That's something we can agree on, I'm sure.

    My grandmother used to make spareribs & cabbage that was really good.

    I enjoy both sauerkraut and kimchi.

    I enjoy sauerkraut on reubens, with some type of sausage and mashed potatoes, or by itself.

    I like kimchi with steamed rice (big surprise), certain types of fish, or by itself.

    I realize they're quite different other than being pickled/fermented cabbage products.
