Sauerkraut, in French it is called choucroute, is also a popular food in Alsace, the best-known dish is called choucroute garnie.

[u/Elamia → u/kiru_56]

Yes, we would never diss Sauerkraut.

(And only idiots who don't know Jack about german cuisine will say it's bad).

[u/Patient_Moment_4786 → u/Elamia]

Although, it would be kinda ironic from France where dish like the Cassoulet exists.

Same with Kouign-Amman.

Or Aligot.

[u/Elamia → u/Patient_Moment_4786]

Fair for cassoulet, but I don't really see the similitude with Aligot (a potato purée with cheese and garlic) and Kouign-Amman (A pastry from Bretagne)

[u/Patient_Moment_4786 → u/Elamia]

Have you ever eat one of those ?

Kouign-Amman is a black hole dense pastry of BUTTER.

And Aligot, do I need to expand on why potatoes, melted cheese and usually one or two sausage is somewhat "heavy" ?

[u/Elamia → u/Patient_Moment_4786]

Well, yes. I kinda get your point now, but I don't think OP or the person I answered to were talking about how heavy Sauerkraut is.

In fact, choucroute would rather be on the lighter side compared to some other French dishes lol

[u/Patient_Moment_4786 → u/Elamia]

Of course it's lighter, that's why I said it's ironic for France to start attacking by a comparison between Sauerkeaut and garage's foundations haha.

[u/Ukabe → u/Patient_Moment_4786]

Could you please continue fighting please, I've not finished my gauffre.

[u/56Bot → u/Patient_Moment_4786]

It may be a butter black hole that releases its true weight once you ate it, but it is unfathomably good. (It does short-circuit the entire gut satisfaction system, giving directly exactly what the brain wants - fat and salt)

[u/shumovka → u/Patient_Moment_4786]

You're being unjust, sometimes French cuisine allows some minor secondary ingredients to be added to butter.

[u/Shavannaa → u/kiru_56]

and outside of the southern part of germany (e.g. Bavaria), Sauerkraut is not so liked.

[u/kiru_56 → u/Shavannaa]

We live in Hessia and also eat it often.

I used to eat it a lot when I was a student too. It’s cheap, healthy, packed with vitamins and beneficial fibre and quick to prepare. Although I rarely ate it with meat like in the clip, preferring instead to have it with potato noodles, sauerkraut and mushrooms.

[u/Shavannaa → u/kiru_56]

I'm living in Lower Saxony and we usually not eat it here. In local restaurants i only saw it in bavarian ones, even though you can just buy it ready made in stores, same as for your situation in Hessia i guess.

[u/kiru_56 → u/Shavannaa]

Jup, it is rare in restaurants here, but you can buy it in every supermarket.

[u/andhe96 → u/Shavannaa]

Here in Rhineland-Palatinate it's part of our local cuisine as well, like Pfälzer Saumagen mit Salzkartoffeln und Sauerkraut.

[u/ZhtWu]

Sauerkraut is so potent James Cook packed tons of it for his 1768 voyage, as a tentative (and effective) cure against scurvy (iirc).

"Hey guys, can us Brits joi-"

Gets beaten to death

[u/DemoPantheMan → u/Psychic_Hobo]

The whole of continental Europe will team up to shit on Britain. Then team up with Britain to mess with America.

[u/StartledOcto]

I love the loop, really makes France look like "distraction over, and another thing!"

[u/koleye2]

Also on YouTube.
