Our continuing coverage of the 100 foods a DC omnivore must try looks at sauerkraut.
My love affair with sauerkraut probably dates back to the decade I lived in Chicago. Heaping piles of this wonderfully shredded cabbage onto my foot-long hot dogs was a guilty pleasure of my high school and college years – much to the detriment of my friends’ noses, I’m sure.
Funny thing is, at the time I always thought kraut was just a condiment. Yes, yes, sheltered food upbringing here. I could bore you with stories of the oft-boring foods I devoured growing up, but I’m sure you don’t really care.
So when I moved to Pittsburgh and got married, I truly found out the wonders of this simple sour-tasting cabbage.
