Why can't the U.S. buy decent sauerkraut at the store? Why must we make it ourselves or get awful kraut? Germany has a unique and delightful kraut for seemingly every town and village, but the U.S. has exactly one type from a handful of companies that all make it the same. Well, maybe two types if you count 'canned' but I don't reckon that to be actual sauerkraut. What was the topic? Sandwiches? Well, if I could find a good kraut, I would spend my days trying to recreate a reuben-like masterpiece.

I know I sound like a corporate shill, but check out Cleveland Kitchen brand sauerkraut. It's not as good as homemade, but it's worlds better than that nuclear waste found in the questionable meat aisle of the grocery store or the cans.

such an awful thing doesn't need to be made to high standrads.

[–] memfree@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

You say that because you've never had the good stuff. :-P

[–] tilefan@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I think canned is the only type I've ever had.

[–] memfree@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

I'm so sorry.

We have a local group that makes sauerkraut and it is amazing. They sell bottles of it at our local farmers market.

You may be surprised what you could find.

Did you check at Aldi's or Lidl's? Maybe they ship it over instead of selling the local stuff. Here its in little bags and lasts years unrefrigerated.

Is it any good? I used to like Lidl and Aldi breads before COVID, when you could slice it right there. They stopped that, and so I no longer had a reason to drive 5-10 miles out of my way to go there. I'd go back for a good sauerkraut, though.

I'm from Europe, the stuff they have here is good. Was hoping you had one near you to check if they ship it over. Sry if I raised false hopes.
