<HTML>When it comes to eating Sauerkraut, the Germans are wrongly named "Krauts"!
I read years ago that since the early 1930's the United States per capita consumption of Sauerkraut was FOUR times greater than the nearest competitor in "per capita consumption. Because of the nature of cabbage - white or red - and its ability to be easily shredded and pickled (sauerkraut) it became a major staple during days of the colonists and their exploration and settlement of the entire nation and Canada as well. It appears that it is still a major staple; like how many billion hotdogs (Brot Rolle mit Frankfurter wurst) are eaten each year garnished with mustard (senf) and SAUERKRAUT! >{|| 8 < ) }</HTML>
