Hi,

I've got sauerkraut in my vegetable subscription this week. I don't
really like sauerkraut, except with loads of cheese and we don't want
to do that, do we precious? So - how do you prepare sauerkraut?

I like sauerkraut with pierogies. Just heat 'em up together in a pan and
you're ready to go. A little homemade apple sauce on the side is great.

We have a lot of ethnic churches here in western PA that sell pierogies to
raise money. Literally, little old Polish and Ukranian ladies make them in
the basement of the church. Quality varies widely however. Pierogies from
one nearby church come slathered in lots of butter - yuk. Actually, Mrs. T's
pierogies that you buy frozen in the supermarket aren't too bad.

We don't have those here :-( I'll think about it for a while. The
good thing about sauerkraut is, it stays good :-)

Bad thing about sauerkraut (for vegans) is that it is
worthless without some kind of sausage...

We have relatively good vegetarian sausages here. Not vegan, as it
contains some egg. But since they are free-range eggs, I don't mind. I
hardly eat them anyway. No, it's the cheese I'll have to find
something about. Same with fennel. I hate fennel. I discovered that if
you marinate it with oil and lots of lemon juice and then grill it,
it's just about palatable. But to make it good, it needs a soft white
cheese. I'll think about it some more.

I disagree. Sauerkraut is good by itself, without sausage or pierogies or
anything else. Maybe it's an acquired taste for some people - depends on the
individual I suppose.

Hmm, it occured to me that sauerkraut is used on a particular kind of
sandwich. Can't think of the name right now - it has corned beef,
sauerkraut, swiss cheese, and thousand island dressing on rye bread. Maybe
invent a veg*nized version of it. Keep the rye bread and swiss (or use vegan
swiss if you prefer), add a thick slice of tomato, and dress it with hummus.
Something like that...
