Question

Why is it a custom that pork chops are served with saurkraut?for medicinal purposes perhaps?

Answer 1

I've eaten a bazillion pork chops, but never with sauerkraut.  Must be a local custom wherever you're from.

Answer 2

I thought it was sausage and saurkraut

Answer 3

sauerkraut helps kill any bacteria left over from the pork.

Pork is a very filthy food.--Delish, yes, however dirty.

Answer 4

Hahahahaha no. You're dense. It's just a European dish.

Answer 5

no not medicinal, it may be a play on german cuisine which uses a sausage or wiener.

Answer 6

I thought they were served with applesauce.

Answer 7

Because it's YUMMY!!!

Answer 8

The brine base of Sauerkraut cuts the grease from the pork.

But it's a traditional German dish.

Italians use vinegar peppers ( vinegar does the same)

You can also just squeeze lemon on greasy meats( same).

So there is a reason.

Acid cuts grease.
