Great Stuff Found on the Web — Wild Boar on Cause and Effect
October 27th, 2010
Being a person who doesn’t care for the taste NOR smell of Sauerkraut, I found this post by Wild Boar from the Forest quote amusing.
This past Sunday was Oktoberfest at the church. Brats, German Potato Salad, Sauerkraut. Lot’s of Sauerkraut.
I always consider the week after Sauerkraut-fest to be “incense every day for Matins” week. It’s nice when Pragamtism meets piety.

Especially when the sanctuary and the fellowship hall where the Oktoberfest food is prepared/served have a common HVAC, those with concerns about lingering sauerkraut aroma may want to make sure the incense is thoroughly distributed. And depending on the skill of your thurifer, you may want to hand out some liturgical hardhats.
The same goes for those times when the fellowship hall is used for lutefisk dinners.
Pork and sauerkraut—–breakfast of champions—–yum!
I brother hates the head cheese at his church for the fest!

I remember one priest during my Orthodox days who would do a little flourish with the censor. It used to get dangerously close our faces as we processed!
I don’t understand why most store bought sauerkraut is nauseatingly acidic. Visit a decent German restaurant, and the kraut is often as mild as green beans. Red cabbage and sauerbraten are still my favorite.
If you are limited to store-bought kraut, you can cut the acidity by rinsing it thoroughly with water in a colander in the sink. That cuts the sharpness. Or even add a dash of sweetener. Or a dash of a seasoning or two. Schmeckt, was?
