Answer 6

Certain dishes that contain sauerkraut, yes, are going to be a little sour.

But there are many MORE dishes that have potatoes, dumplings,  REGULAR cabbage, or other things rather than k***t.

I wouldn't say that it's usually sour.  But most Americans are only familiar with the ones that ARE.  I like the stuffed, rolled flank steak.  It's called rolauten.  Not sure of the spelling, but pronounced roll-ought-ten.  Try it!

I think your generalization, if reversed, would lead people to believe that most American food is tublar or flat, and fits in a bun.
