Not my work. I never tried it. I only said that inGerman, kraut means
cabbage, so saurkraut is sour cabbage. since i was speaking of ght
Germanlanguage then everybody chimed inwith Americna slang of kraut for
German person, a term used with much derogatory meaning during WWII.
Ihave never been to German andnever intend to g, but Idid study the
language for a year in college a long time ago.
