Sauerkraut, why isn't it sold as a condiment?

[lucas80]

It should be in the condiment aisle like giardiniera, right? I had to shuffle over to the canned vegetable aisle today at Hy-Vee to get some kraut for brats tonight.
Other than on a brat, what's kraut used for? Nobody eats a bowl of it straight.

 

[Whiskeydeltadeltatango]

Yes people do.


Bubbies FTW.


Also, respect for making a good brat. Saukerkraut/stone ground mustard on a toasted bun.

There are also a lot of German dishes where various types of sausages are served on a bed of kraut.

I do not think sauerkraut adds anything worthwhile to bratwurst. Ruins if if anything.

Anyway, sometimes you can find it smaller packets so you dont have to buy a can. It's just pickled cabbage, so I don't feel bad about throwing a lot of it away.

I don't think kraut adds anything that mustard doesnt. it's just soggy crap that you have to fight to keep on the bun.

Pineapple on pizza is fine, but not preferred.

I do on occasion. Smothered in mustard.

 

[lonestar50]

I will make homemade kraut and make a snack of it eating it straight out of the jar.

Pizza, brats, reubens, straight. I love the stuff

Lol gross 🤢

Thinking sauerkraut is gross isnt all that uncommon. Honestly I think a lot of people just tolerate bc people tell them that’s how they’re supposed to eat a brat.

The good stuff is in the aisle over by brats/braunsweiger/lunchmeat aisle

 

[Jimmy McGill]

The idea that the concept of slightly toasting a hot dog bun or hamburger bun is beyond Millah's comprehension tells me everything I need to know his grill master status

 

[Whiskeydeltadeltatango]

Toast a bun for a brat?

Yupp.


This is the gold standard.

Only had it on a brat, which is the only way to eat a brat. Ya

After this thread I have officially lost what little respect I had for @millah_22

 

[millah_22]

I don’t even like toasting buns for burgers. Not doing it for a brat

Sauerkraut soup. Yum

Recipe?

Equipment needed

I make a lot and can it so it lasts me a year or 2.

1/4 pound of Kosher or pickling salt per 10 pounds of cabbage. Cut cabbage into quarters and remove heart. Shred cabbage and sprinkle salt in as you shred. You'll want to really stomp it in with something as you go until you get the cabbage to release it's juices so it will ferment in it's own salty juices.

My dad taught me this trick to fill a heavy duty garbage bag with water on top to help pack it down.

Cover it up and let it do it's thing for 6-8 weeks.

That's it?

Seems doable. Think I could cut it down to like 2 pounds of Cabbage to see if I like it? If so, still 6-8 weeks?

Sure. You can probably do it in Mason jars. It probably would only take a week with the smaller amounts

lol, you think the popularity of sauerkraut is due to peer pressure? MILLAH, LOCK IT UP

 

[The Tradition]

Honestly, I've never had kraut on a brat. It's the beer-butter-onion hot tub for my brats.
