Sauerkraut and Turkey
Last year when we were packing Thanksgiving baskets at te local Food Bank in Columbia, PA (Between Lancaster and York), our director was carefully checking to see that each order had a can of sauerkraut. No one had ever heard of that - except for me - a fellow native of Baltimore. I've lived in the PA Dutch area for 35 years, and never run into ot up here.
As a kid, whenever we had turkey suppers on a Saturday evening at Mt. Olive Methodist Church in Randallstown, MD, , Ella McGinnis, the kitchen diva, made sure sauerkraut was included. The aroma hung in the air on Sunday morning. Mrs. McGinnis did things right!
My German grandparent,s who did not settle in MD, never did it. It's a Baltimore thing, hon!
