sauerkraut

in the grocerz stores next to the orange juice and my favorite pineapple juice sits the bottles of sauerkraut juice. i dont get it. who would drink sauerkraut juice???? i dont even know many who will eat sauerkraut let alone drink its nectar.

so sauerkraut made another appearance in my life yesterday. i was talking to my friend, bobby, laughing about the funny things one sees in the grocery store here in berlin. at one place, and i should go back and take a photo, there is a carrot, a celery stick and some sort of beet root or something (and keep in mind - these arent pretty veggies like in the US - no pesticides here, all natural - they arent even cleaned so they're full of dirt and whatnot) tied together with a string. ???? who would buy these things together?? apparently these are the ingredients in sauerkraut. i had no idea. so not only are people in germany eating sauerkraut, drinking sauerkraut juice, they're making their own at home! i feel like i should be eating more german cuisine, but i just dont think i can go there...
