Made 56 pounds of sauerkraut yesterday. Don't ask me anything.

[Kaleva]

Feel like I went to the gym for a workout. I most likely will be making another 56 pounds a day or two after Thanksgiving.

21. My mother loathes sauerkraut

she tells the story of a date she had. Thy rode their bikes down to Coney Island, Brooklyn girl, and got hot dogs. He put sauerkraut on his. No second date for him.

Me I love it on hot dogs, hamburgers, and the usual suspects.

6. Only one question: WHY???????????

[Kaleva]

8. It's easy to make, easy to store and will last the winter.

I keep it in the basement in 5 gallon buckets.

[Squinch]

7. I never realized how healthy sauerkraut is for you. I have to start eating more of it.

[hibbing]

10. Pizza

There is a little local restaurant that makes a German Pizza, they put just a tad bit of sauerkraut on it, sounded so strange I had to have it. It is pretty good, just enough to give a subtle extra something.

Peace

12. German Pizza

No German puts sauerkraut on a pizza... But we put corn on it and call it an American pizza

[jmowreader]

13. The only thing I didn't like about ordering pizza in Germany...

...is a "pepperoni" pizza has these massive hot peppers, and no sausage, on it.

11. Nothing to fill you up like sauerkraut and potatoes. I canned about 50 quarts last month

mostly gone by easter or so.

[Kaleva]

16. I pretty much lived on potatoes, rice, cabbage and sauerkraut one winter.

[Mr. Quackers]

14. If you have any leftover sauerkraut juice

I'd be delighted to drink it for you.

YUMMM!

15. A recipe: Pork-belly and Sauerkraut.

An oven-tray. Generously oil it.

Sauerkraut. Take a handfull, squeeze with your bare hand as hard as you can until you have a dry ball, then rip the ball into fluffy pieces. Repeat until the whole tray is covered with dry Sauerkraut. Add a pinch of caraway if you like.

Pork-belly cut into slices 0.25-0.5 inches thick. Salt, pepper. Put pork-belly on Sauerkraut.

180-200°C for about 20-30 minutes, until the pork-belly looks golden and crunchy.

Take out, flip the slices. Salt, pepper, and sprinkle with some finely minced garlic.

Return to oven. Another 20 minutes or so, until bacon looks golden and crunchy.







If you haven't eaten fried Sauerkraut, you haven't lived.

19. hey, I'm trying to lose weight here

adn with the recent recipes on this forum I'm losing the battle.

Pork belly and sauerkraut coming right up.

[Small-Axe]

22. I made pork belly the other day for dinner. It was delicious...

the only thing was the wife and kid wouldn't eat it. Noses turned up. And they like my food (and it was good).

The next morning the wife makes the boy some bacon for breakfast and the two are compiling away.
