As an American, going to any German-themed public event (read: Oktoberfest and uhh... that's about it) convinces me that your greatest culinary achievement is sausage with mustard and sauerkraut. Not too shabby, TBH.
I don't know, if it's more popular in other regions of Germany, but I've only had plain sauerkraut once in my life. ๐
Only real dish involving sauerkraut around here is Krautschupfnudeln:
And well, by roasting the sauerkraut, it caramelizes a little bit and some of the vinegar dissipates, so it doesn't actually taste as sauer anymore.
we also had schupfnudeln with sauerkraut, but with chopped bacon added.
asside from that, i also know mashed potatos with kassler (cured pork),
Leberwurst(loose sausage that is usualy used as a spread)
and blutwurst(blood sausage)
boiled in sauerkraut, as a Christmas classic.
(both sausages were loose and squeezed out of the casing)
i also remember grandpa snacking on cold raw plain sauerkraut for dinner.
but he was the only person i know that ate it like that.
but i dont remember any other dishes ive eaten with sauerkraut in it.
no, i do that too, but grandpa is where i picked the habit up from. it's crunchy tasty homemade sauerkraut though, not that store-bought shit.
