As an American, going to any German-themed public event (read: Oktoberfest and uhh… that’s about it) convinces me that your greatest culinary achievement is sausage with mustard and sauerkraut. Not too shabby, TBH.
we also had schupfnudeln with sauerkraut, but with chopped bacon added.
asside from that, i also know mashed potatos with kassler (cured pork),
Leberwurst(loose sausage that is usualy used as a spread)
and blutwurst(blood sausage)
boiled in sauerkraut, as a Christmas classic.
(both sausages were loose and squeezed out of the casing)
i also remember grandpa snacking on cold raw plain sauerkraut for dinner.
but he was the only person i know that ate it like that.
but i dont remember any other dishes ive eaten with sauerkraut in it.

I don’t know, if it’s more popular in other regions of Germany, but I’ve only had plain sauerkraut once in my life. 🙃
Only real dish involving sauerkraut around here is Krautschupfnudeln:
And well, by roasting the sauerkraut, it caramelizes a little bit and some of the vinegar dissipates, so it doesn’t actually taste as sauer anymore.

no, i do that too, but grandpa is where i picked the habit up from. it’s crunchy tasty homemade sauerkraut though, not that store-bought shit.
