SC - period sauerkraut?

[ANN1106 at aol.com]

Just came across an article in Saveur Magazine, Jan/Feb 1997 issue:
Page 48 sttes:
"The origins of sauerkraut are hotly debated in Alsace, but the basic notion
of fermented cabbage was probably brought to what is now Germany from China
in the late Middle Ages by invading Mongol  hordes.  The earliest reference
to it in Alsace dates from the 15th century..."
