So, I take it, that suerkraut may be period.

Does anyone have any period referances to it or recipes? What area of Europe
is it from? And I don't mean "Germany". If that is the area what part of
Germany? Like France, Germany was hardly homongenous in medieval times.

I don't like the stuff myself, but I'd like to hear more about it.
