In grade school I wrote a poem about sauerkraut that ended with something like “I love sauerkraut even when my mom burns it.” That statement is still true, although these days I eat it cold, sometimes right from the jar. My favorite is made in Olympia, Washington. Currently there are four jars in my fridge.
You were ahead of your time! Sauerkraut is a trendy health food now, along with other fermented foods. Re the grade-school poem, if you managed to make that line rhyme I hope it won a prize.
Haha, Susan. All I really remember about the poem is that it made my mom a little angry until she admitted to once burning the sauerkraut.
Yes, I am happy that sauerkraut is trendy — otherwise I bet Olykraut would not be making it.
As a dedicated trend-follower/sheep, I’ve jumped on the sauerkraut bandwagon.
It’s not something that has ever been popular (or even available) here, but a niece who has transformed her body trying to eat right for her PCOS, has begun eating sauerkraut and likes it. So I guess I should try it. If I can find it!
Mmmmm sauerkraut. Mmmmmm kimchi…
