@jlk12 That reminds me of when I was a kid. If I stayed over at my grandma's house by myself, she would bring up a jar of homemade sauerkraut from the root cellar and we would eat it for lunch with bread and butter on the side. Balanced diet - maybe not, but a great treat for a kid whose Mom didn't like it in her house.
Now I put it on salad and meats and cook with it.
