I had an ex (who got married this weekend coincidentally) whose mother made the only sauerkraut I liked. I unfortunately was unable to get the recipe from her, so no reubens for me

Usually kimchi is about the same message/understanding. If you reject kimchi I would have to say some prayers for you.
So if I reject the kraut but accept the kimchi I'm still ok?

Sometimes I bring a rotting corpse into our office to cover the smell of kimchi

I'd say so. kimchi is orthodox while kraut is reformed but both are solid probiotic paths to reaching tangy fermented enlightenment.

This feels oddly inclusive

When it comes down to it, I really don't know all the answers definitively, but I actually believe that escabeche jalepenos can be included in this discussion as well, provided they aren't the result of a cooking in vinegar method.

It was actually very sweet. -1's mother said she put a ton of sugar in it (-1's mother was pretty hefty).

I was afraid of that. It sounds more like a cabbage "salad" where they take kraut and add sugar to it. You could use sugar in the fermentation process, but it would probably not end up being sweet. Doesn't sound like you like sauerkraut at all, my friend. I will pray for you.

There's a lot of people you're praying for ITT. I hope you're writing all our names down. You're going to hell if you miss one of us.

I use Russian if I can find it, but the stores by me usually only have Thousand island. It works.

BTW, on hotdogs, its ketchup and mustard for me. Jalapeño mustard if available. Same with brats. Unless there's a spicy barbeque sauce around then I might roll with that on a brat.

I was at Gene and Judes and asked for ketchup for my fries. They stared at me and said they don't have ketchup. LOL

I've never understood the whole "YOU MUST EAT OUR ITEM WITH ONLY DEEZ CONDIMENTS" from some places.... I understand if you go in to a Hot Dog place and ask for a fucking piece of Lasagne with garlic bread.... and if people ask for it all the time for some reason.... yeah that is weird.... you don't go into a Hot Dog place and ask for Lasagne.... but asking for a commonly used condiment.... How bout I open up a fucking Pancake House and when people ask for maple syrup I scream "NO WE ONLY PUT HONEY ON PANCAKES HERE YOU LOWBORN ASSHATS NOW GET THE **** OUT".

Cuz to me that is pretty much what they are doing....

EDIT: And btw if I made great pancakes, people would just start sneaking in their own maple syrup or they would take the pancakes home and put maple syrup on them.... wtf would I be accomplishing by acting like some psychopath Nazi Pancake House owner who forces my customers into not using a widely accepted and common condiment on the food I am serving them? I get to look like an asshole? Oh sweet.

Especially given that most pancake houses don't even have real maple syrup anywhere in the restaurant. We sneak ours in FWIW, and I blame my kids if we get caught.
