I was bored tonight and we had an extra head of cabbage in the fridge so I decided to make some sauerkraut. It’s really not difficult to make and we like it with kielbasa sausages. After I finished prepping it and putting on the lids loosely I realized I used way too much kosher salt. I had 1100 grams of cabbage and most recipes call for 2-3% of salt by weight. I messed up and used 20% so it’s probably my not going to be edible. I’ll go thru the process and see how it goes, I should know in 2 weeks. He those dang decimals…who says you won’t use math when you grow up.

I'm not a fan of sauerkraut, either. There are a lot of other German foods I like. My favorite German dinner is schwein-schnitzel (fried breaded pork), spaetzel (very small dumplings), and gurkensalat (German cucumber salad). Scnhitzel can also be made with veal (weiner), chicken (hanchen), turkey (puten), and beef (rindfleisch). In any of the schnitzel, the meat is beaten until it's thin. Get your minds out of the gutter. The hanchenscnizel is somewhat like checked fried steak.

If you haven’t tried home sauerkraut you need to, it’s good stuff (I like the canned type from the store too). The Queen bought me some kimchi last week too so I’m set for a while.

I've never tried home sauerkraut but the store bought stuff was nasty. :sick:

Daughter did something like that making a chicken recipe one time. Used 1/2 cup of garlic salt instead of 1/2 tablespoon. Yummy.

I like German Chocolate Cake

Amazingly, German chocolate cake isn't German (the country). It was created in the US in 1957 by "Mrs. George Clay, a homemaker from Dallas, TX". It was named after a guy named Samuel German, who was a baker for the Baker's Chocolate company. (The chocolate company was owned by a guy named Baker). In 1853, Samuel German came up with the recipe for the chocolate used in the recipe. It was originally called German's chocolate cake, but General Foods (who owned the Baker's brand in 1957) distributed the recipe to newspapers, and subsequently dropped the "'s".
