Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Scrumptious? Yummy? Something like that.
Or, OK, "tart and salty", as the Gryge suggests.

He's also right on the money about that "drain and rinse" stuff being pure idiocy; why buy sauerkraut in the first place, if you're just going to wash away all the flavour?

BTW: Not that Kühne is all that great for a German sauerkraut, AFAIK, but it's good enough for me; it has to be, it's almost the only one you see in shops here in .fi... That, and sometimes, even more rarely, Schwabentopf (if they make kraut at all; ISTR they do (or is that just gherkins and stuff I'm remembering?)).

Anyway, I'll have to check out the Lidl that opened recently just a mile or two from here, to see if they have any better; though I suspect that'll have to wait a few weeks. Will try to remember to report back later.

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]
New Re:drain and rinse
Most of the common sauerkraut that I see tastes like steel wool when it comes out of the can or bottle. On the other paw, it is a lot easier than shredding and fermenting a head of cabbage. Therefore, the recommended course of action is to squeeze out the existing liquid, replace it with white wine, mince an apple into it, season and let it simmer in pork fat that comes off the sausages, ribs, and chops that you cook with it.
Doesn't taste like steel wool any more.
Takes a lot of pig to make commercial sauerkraut taste good.

So yeah, this is a thing. One of those things that you come across online that makes you think, "That's enough internet for the day."
