For all of you Ms. Schnitzel following Ohioians, this weekend boasts the annual Sauerkraut Festival in Waynesville. We found this festival particularly fitting considering 1.) we are all about some kraut 2.) Jen is from Ohio.
Who would have thought an entire two day event was designated for the mass consumption and celebration of fermented cabbage?! And by mass consumption, we mean 7 tons of sauerkraut! This is such a big deal that their "claim to fame" is on the town sign.
Rain or shine as many as 350,000 people enjoy egg rolls, cabbage rolls, soups and many pork and sauerkraut combinations as well as some very nontraditional sauerkraut ice cream, fudge, pizza and cookies. Sauerkraut pizza? We're intrigued. That may become an experiment for the Ms.Schnitzel test kitchen!

*According to Don Heinrich Tolzmann, author of The German-American Experience, "...German is the largest ancestral group in the country."
*Even though Pennsylvania boasts the largest German-American population, that doesn't mean Ohioians can't have a kraut fest.
*The only bummer about this festival is the absence of beer tents. Yes folks it is an alcohol free zone. I guess there's no harm in getting kraut-wasted?
