LA CHOUCROUTE


“La choucroute” is very famous in France and especially in the North France, nearby
Germany. Actually, the word “choucroute” comes from the German language, sürkrüt ( I
don’t know how to pronounce !!), which means the acid cabbage . The cabbage is grated
and mixed with small pieces of meat, including sausages, ham, and also some vegetables like potatoes. In fact, this meal looks like a big stack of white cabbage with a mountain of meat pieces with a particular smell..
Usually, people use to eat that, during the very cold days in France and especially in the
north, like I “Strasbourg” , a very cold city in order to get warm and defeat the cold temperature... There are not some special days to eat a plate of choucroute, but for the meat fanatics, taste it, and you will love it !!
