German Sauerkraut and Pork
 #18129
 Dan Huddleston says:
I have lived and worked in 3 regions of Germany and not once have I eaten a pork chop with sauerkraut in the recipe. All of these sauerkraut and pork recipes sound very Pennsylvania Dutch, but not German.

 Anne Denney (Ohio) says:
Well, in the part of Germany where I lived for the past 40 years (northern Germany) sauerkraut cooked with pork is very common. In fact, and sadly enough, I have never had Sauerkraut any other way than with salted pork chop, or "Kassler", as it is called up there.
