Hail fellow bratwurst and sauerkraut afficianado, :wink:
In tracing my family history, I discovered that my paternal gr-gr-grandmother was born in Germany and came to the states around 1840. She married, according to the census, a man from Spain. I can't find what happened to him, presume he died since she remarried.
My grandmother made a mean dish of sauteed sauerkraut with onions and either sausage or pork chops served over a bed of mashed potatoes with a side of sliced fresh onion. Mmmm .. irresistible!
