American Sauce, anyone?
(And I know Americans are no better with German food- sauerkraut on hot-dogs? SICK!)

Ah Cate, you must be reading Toytown! Where else do you think we can get marshmellows? Aldis is the best!
I once saw "German pizza" on a menu in a pizza place. Of course with sauerkraut. It is similar to corn on pizza here or bbq pork and they call it American style pizza. I have to admit I used to like hot dogs with sauerkraut on them. (hanging head with shame)

My mom sent it to me- I think she might have gotten it from a diff group (with people who prob to go to Toytown!) I will forgive you for the sauerkraut on hotdogs. ; ) I LOVE sauerkraut...just not on hot-dogs. I think I would throw up if it was on a pizza!

Forgive me, but are those hot dogs in a jar?
And to be clear, is putting sauerkraut on a hot dog akin to putting ketchup on a brat (here in the US), which some feel is a treasonous act?

I don't get it..hot dogs with sauerkraut are a very NE thing!!!But at some steet vendors you can buy hot dogs with onions which are good. Personally I now eat my hot dogs (very rarely) grilled until black and I skip the roll...watching the waistline!
I used to live in a German-American neighborhood in NY City (now obliterated by high rises)and all the restaurants served sauerkraut with hot dogs, sausages. etc.
My favorite dish invoving sauerkrat is the French dish from Alsace of sauerkraut with various sausages and some pork and potatoes. Talk about filling! I have never managed to finish it. It's called Choucroute Garni. The amazing part is that the sauerkraut is sweeter than it is in the US.
Ketchup?????? Never!!!! I rarely use Ketchup on anything.

Angela,
yes, hot-dog sausages in a jar.
And sauerkraut on hot-dogs is quite American. There are several hot-dog styles here in Europe, non of them uses sauerkraut.
My personal favorite is the "Danish red pølser hot-dog".

Ok, since we are here in Germany we had to buy some of the chocolate chip cookies just for fun, they were pretty much like chips ahoy. The donuts with the American flag wrapping were hilarious.
On the 4th of July we went to a small town open air ´oldies rock´ fest. Nothing like hearing Beach Boys music with a German accent!
