Sauerkraut

I know I'm stupid to point this out , but I grew up in Germany and have lived here 27 odd years and Choucroute is Sauerkraute , the only difference is who cooks it .. Some like it sharper than other is all . I make my own ..

They often have it at the deli counter in Carrefour, Guingamp.

I thought it was the same thing too, although I know some of the really rank German stuff is burried for ages. The french version seems much milder.

So is  Flammekeuche the same as tarte flambee?

:)

LOL Sauerkraut is never "buried"  its stored in big jars (above ground) to finish !

surely in it's "natural state" it's cabbage

Yes Barty its sliced cabbage brewed in a vinegar solution in its uncooked or cooked state !
