Sentier Gourmand: Choucroute

Didn't really a picture of this one - and you know, if you've seen it once, you already know what it is.

Actually choucroute is french for sauerkraut, but everyone knows the important part of the dish is the 5, 7, 9, or 12 pieces of pig parts that are placed on top. Again, the theory is that even though Alsace raises their own meat - all of the good pieces are exported to Paris or Germany. But I was told as far as choucroute is concerned - it was pretty good.

Again, I stuck to the Riesling, and I am feeling good by now. Mindy is doing pullups on a grapewine, and everyone else is pretty much getting a glazed over look trying to remember which station we're on. Fortunately, we don't need a map or follow directions - we just stumble along like everyone else.
