  • One thing everyone knows about German cuisine is that it's really heavy on the sauerkraut. Is this true, or is this just a meaningless stereotype? And what's the history of sauerkraut anyway?

    If there is THE ONE GERMAN DISH, this would be - drumroll - bread. Bread in so many variations, normale people would go mad. From cheap wheat bread to fancy sourdough rye bread to lye roll knitted into weird shapes, it is awesome.

      Schmidt54 Yes and it is the food I miss the most if I'm abroad...
      I really like to eat wat ever the lokal cuisine has to offer no matter were I am in the world, from the Americas over Africa to Asia I always find a large enough variety of meals to not miss Germany. But bread? Oh no it's horrible, even if they have some sort of bread that I like there is no variety! I'm used to buy a different type of bread every few days to never get bored.
      After some month without it I would choose a fresh loaf of German bread over a month of free meals at a Guide Michelin Star restaurant any time :D

      I was making fun of stereotypes. Although in my experience, those two are "more true" than the Sauerkraut one (in terms of actual consumption).
      However, the stuff they sell at McDonald's is hardly fries (especially once you've had the Belgian original) and chips and fries are technically two different things as well.
      But if you want, you can change it to Englishmen with fish and chips and Turks with tea...

      I would argue that fries are more Belgian than waffles, though maybe not by much. (Who invented the waffles actually?) I haven't had a homemade meal in Belgium without fries, but we only once made waffles. And out of the Belgians I know, some don't like waffles, but everyone likes fries. Not a very large sample size, but the fries stalls have very good business with the locals whereas the waffle stalls seem to be more popular with tourists.
      And if there is a second currency, it is fries! :D

      The point is that it really is an extreme stereotype which isn't really true. We Germans do have Sauerkraut as a dish and some Germans do eat it from time to time. But as stated in the video 1 Euro per person per year is NOTHING - that's one jar of sauerkraut a year. I'm pretty sure Brits drink more tea than that.

    Cured (and slightly smoked) pork is called "Kasseler" in Germany. In the past "Kasseler" with Sauerkraut and (mashed) potatoes was a typical meal for Sundays. On the following Monday, as Sauerkraut and mashed potatoes were usually leftover, they were mixed together, resulting in a dish known to me as "Ruppsel". It is usually eaten with some sausage.

    For the stereotype, the seafaring part is the important one, since pickled cabbage was known to help prevent scurvey, it was a specificly northern/german thing to do with most other seafaring cultures using citrus juice for it. Northern europeans could not cultivate citrustrees in their homeland and laked warm colonial holdings to do elsewhere. Since german traders still dominated the northern european trade routs up until the early 20th century anda brittish sailors usually dockt at german north sea ports anyway, it became assosiated with germans.
    Those same german ports became also the predominant ports for european emmigrants tpo board a ship to aamerica, wich helpe to make pickled cabbsge a staple of the german quisine in the eyes of americans, who broght the nickname back over the Atlantik during theyr involvement in the world wars.

    There is preboled Sauerkraut in tins available, which you might buy at anty Store. But there is also fresh sauerkraut, which is sold at the counter of buters', but the fresh sauerkraut is available only in autum and winter. Except in areas near the Polish border, like Berlin. The (slavic) ethnic minority of the Sorbians, living in the Spreewald are famous for the world's best pickled vegetables (except the Koreans of course), especially cucumbers and sauerkraut. Thus, you can buy fresh sauerkraut in Berlin all year.

    Excuse me, the usage of the derogatory term, Kraut, began during the first, not second, world war. However, the colloquial term had been used since the mid-18th century. During the second world war, 'kraut' was used more by the Americans than British who started using 'jerry' due to the shape of solider helmet resembling Jeroboam or chamber pot.

    My mother's parents and 2 of her older sisters were born in Eastern Europe and were nominally Polish (this was before 1910 when there was no Poland) they loved sauerkraut but tended to eat the German style version once they came to the US, since the Polish style wasn't easily available and apartment dwellers don't ferment cabbage at home.

    10 Traditional dishes from Austria with Sauerkraut which I think they are delicous.
    Bratwurst + Sauerkraut with little beacon-pieces + fried Potatoes + Mustard + fresh shredded Horseradish
    but there are so many different other sausages (I prefer smoked sausages) as well.
    "Szegedin Goulash" = chopped pieces of beef + Sauerkraut + Paprika-Spice (very important because that´s why it´s called Goulash) + other spices and herbs cooked together like a stew. On the plate traditionally you might put some sour cream on it.
    "Krautfleisch" = exactly the same like "Szegedin Goulash" but without the Paprika-Spice which gives the "Szegedin Goulash" the name and the typical red colour.
    Smoked pork + Sauerkraut with little beacon-pieces + dumpling(either a bread-dumpling or a dumpling made of potato-doe) + mustard + fresh shredded Horseradish (instead of the dumplings it´s also often served with mashed potatoes)
    Pork roast (every region have their own traditional way to roast their pork) + Sauerkraut with little beacon-pieces + dumpling (bread-dumpling or potato-dumpling) + Mustard + fresh shredded Horseradish
    Pork leg (roasted, grilled) + Sauerkraut with little beacon-pieces + roasted Potatoes + Mustard + fresh shredded Horseradish
    "Selchfleischknödel" = A big dumpling made of potato-doe with a "smoked pork-fillling" inside + Sauerkraut
    "Krautfleckerl" = A pasta made with Sauerkraut and traditionally sourcreme and sometimes with beacon or ham, but many also use cream instead of sourcreme and some don´t use one of them at all as well but then with some beacon or ham in it.
    "Schupfnudeln" = Big noodels made of potato-doe + Beacon + Sauerkraut
    Bye the way, nobody is forced to eat the fresh shredded horseradish, if you can´t take it, then leave it (allthough it would be a bit ......."weenie/pussy/sissy"...... but in a humourous sense and not with an offensive meaning) And if you do, then don´t forget your kleenex, you´ll proberly need them, if you´re not used to eat fresh shredded Horseradish..
    But it´s a tradition in Austria (especially in the Eastern part) to serve Mustard + fresh shredded Horseradish, both together on one plate.

I mostly eat McDonalds, Burger King, KFC whenever i am in South Korea but even there you aren't 100% safe from Kimchi. MCDonalds there sells "bulgogi burgers" which has a slight Kimchi taste to it and KFC sells some Korean BBQ sauce chicken that also tastes a bit like Kimchi. The biggest difference between Kimchi and Sauerkraut is that Sauerkraut tastes fresh but sour, a bit like vinegar, while Kimchi tastes less sour and more rotten if that makes sense. Kimchi is really not my thing

    There are many dishes with Sauerkraut but if with some meat, than mostly with meat cured within the Sauerkraut. "Schlachtplatte" (a platter with cured pork, fresh cooked blood sausage and liver sausage) is perhaps the most opulent variant. Often Sauerkraut is cooked with fresh apple slices in it (at former times it would been dried fruit) or served with a side dish of apple sauce. In the Southwest it's sometimes fried in butter together with Spätzle (="Krautspätzle") or Schupfnudeln (thick hand-rolled noodles from the same dough as gnocchi).
    Oh, and it was not only Sauerkraut which was salted and fermented to be preserved. Rübenkraut was made in exactly the same way from beets (and looked very similar), and the Southern German word "Gsälz" for jam does have the same origin.

Also sind auch Püree und Soßen ausgeschlossen. Zu einem Schnitzel üblich sind Bratkartoffeln, Petersilkartoffeln oder Pommes. Bei mir zumindest - mag regional unterschiedlich sein.

    IDK about my german familie, however this 3rd-Generation German-American consumes Sauerkraut (And Kimchi, actually!) multiple times per week.
    It's just about all I want out of my vegetation. Healthy, Delicious, and lip-shockingly tart.

    In my family sauerkraut as far as I remember was always only eaten once every few years on special occasions such as big birthdays and I think it was mostly my grandparents who made or ordered it. I think my mother regularly buys packages of sauerkraut, but I think these are more for health reasons, losing weight, metabolism, whatever. I've never asked her. I personally don't like sauerkraut. I very much prefer and really like red cabbage, which was always part of good family meals, sunday meals at my grandparent's, christmas meals, etc.

    Der Spitzname " Kraut " ist eigentlich älter soweit ich weiß? Angeblich aus der zeit um 18.Jhd wo es noch Probleme gab mit Skorbut bei den Seefahrern...
    und die Matrosen der Hanse nahmen Sauerkraut mit auf ihren Reisen um mit genug Vitamin C versorgt zu sein

    There are several types of Kraut and different types of Sauerkraut. You only referred to Sauerkraut, which is sold in at least 4 differant types. And I think the statistic only refers to one type only.

    The cologne variant of "Sauerkraut" is to sweet for my taste, even that I live in so called "Kölner Bucht" (just geographically). Our family ate more a mix of silesian, bohemian, prussian? (hm can't remember how much of that or what it was?) and bavarian dishes.

      Cause it's so interesting to get an outside view on the own culture - I think I learn more about cultural differences to other countries by watching outsiders' videos about Germany than by watching videos about other countries. So many things I thought were quite natural don't seem so natural at all to me now ...

    When I was in Germany, I met a guy whose grandmother was a Red Army soldier, and she married a german guy, and thought him how to make souerkraut. His German family didn't eat this dish before that, so...yeah, it might be a bit of a stereotype 😏

  • @Shahrdad

    I have eaten a lot more sauerkraut in the USA than in Germany. My guess is that it was such an important food item among German immigrants to the US in the days before refrigeration that it became an important part of the German/American diet. And as eating habits evolved and changed in Germany, the descendents of the immigrants probably preserved and propagated the traditions of their ancestors, the same way the people of Quebec preserved the antique form of the French language.

    It also depends on the region; when I lived in Franconia I had it more often than nowadays in North-Rhine Westphalia. Here will usually only have it with hearty meals in wintertime in lieu of others vegatables; usually combined with mashed potatoes, and smoked pork neck or loin.
    In Franconia Sauerkraut was available all day long; any guesthouse had a pot full of Sauerkraut frequently held warm on the oven; it is often eaten as a snack in combination with Bratwurst and bread.
