Notice all the replies denigrating this in various ways I wouldn't days its denigrating, just regional differences.

I like sauerkraut on hot dogs or with just about any form of pork, and I too will eat it plain out of the jar. My wife hates it, though, with the sole exception of Reuben sandwiches.
Someday I want to try making my own sauerkraut.
To: DallasBiff
For lack of a better all-encompassing term.
Most of it is dismissive, instead of “oh, that’s interesting”. As many other groups would get for their customs. Just the “never heard of it” you’d not see in most other cultural threads (if you can’t say something nice, don’t post?). Why the need to post how they don’t know it? Doesn’t happen in others. Or the “I’ll take this instead”.
I’m serious, I’ve noticed this total ignorance and disrespect for German culture. Yet is the most influential in American culture (most of that Christmas obsession is German, not English), not to mention genetics.
Anyway, off my soapbox.

I have a real problem with Reubens.
I tell these waiters to ensure they put LOTS of sauerkraut on it. LOTS! But mostly it’s just another small layer in there.

I seldom order a Reuben in a restaurant because they’re usually not very good. One place even made what they called a Reuben with coleslaw instead of sauerkraut, if you can believe that. Every couple of months I get the ingredients and make about half a dozen at home.

"Pork and sauerkraut is a northeast tradition."
Must be New England tradition. I live in New York State, and we usually had ham on New Year's Day.

At restaurants there is not enough kraut not enough sauce and scantily toasted.

Pork, collard greens, black eyed peas and corn bread Southern New Years meal. Pork for prosperity, collards for paper money, black eyed peas for coins and corn bread for gold.

I have a 5 pound wild boar roast ready to put in the crock pot tomorrow, along with sauerkraut that I will add when it is nearly done.
And I will make lots of mashed potatoes too!
Because that’s what my ancestors did!
Happy New Year!!!

Along with the P&SK, I throw in a can of white beans, to give it some more body. Corn cake on the side.
Trouble is that more SK producers are sweetening up their kraut, toning down its sourness with sweetness.
