Back to the question of heating sauerkraut ( or choucroute as the Alsatians call the dish ; do not forget that it is French too ) . The fermented cabbage should be heated along with the porky bits , in a closed pot . You need to have added a glass of riesling to the pot prior to warming it up .
It may interest you to know that the British navy once tried to encourage its sailors to eat sauerkraut in the battle against scurvy . The latter turned their noses up in horror and chucked the barrels overboard .
