Oh, don't get me wrong...I love sauerkraut! It will please you to know I don't make eisbein, however!!!

I was raised on german food...but my husband is a millionth generation american polish, so I don't get to make german food too much and his kids certainly won't touch it....the most i can get him to eat is canned german potatoe salad (yeeechhhh!) To make matters worse, in February I really wanted Wienerschnitzel, kartoffelpuffer and sauerkraut...so I made it even though I know he hates it. later that night he came down with a horrible stomach flu and after bringing all that sauerkraut back up he won't even let me make it for myself becasue the smell makes him remember his horrible experience!
