...ChouChouChoucroute...


Love a choucroute.

Choucroute= sauerkraut topped with a hock, saucisse de Strasbourg, slab of bacon and a few potatoes. Everything is cooked in white wine or Alsatian riesling. The sauerkraut is tangy, the meats salty, their juices sweet – a veritable fiesta of flavors and textures.

People have been enjoying it since the 15th century. It's from the region of Alsace.
