Chris, I seem to recall that Heinz gave up on pickles. Glad you found
some good sauerkraut.

For the football conference championships today, I wanted to chow down on
something pleasurable, meaning bratwurst on sauerkraut with mustard. No
contest on the mustard: Trader Joe's Dijon, which has a touch of horseradish
for a nice zing. Oddly, the bratwurst is a chain grocery deli brand, which has
very little fat, though I would like a thinner casing.
But then there's the sauerkraut. We used to be able to get a really nice
western New York variety here: Silverfloss. Not any more. The canned and
jarred Libby's product is everywhere, but it has a touch of sugar that I don't
care for. And then there's Claussen, a very nice cold-process variety that has
to be kept cold in the packaged deli section. I've driven all over to find it.
Safeway doesn't carry any Claussen products, and Frys/Kroger only has the
pickles. I finally found it in a Basha's grocery store. It cost more than
twice that of Libby's, but I want decent sauerkraut.
Claussen also has very good cold process pickles, much better than the
boiled Vlasic, Heinz, etc. varieties. Funny thing about Heinz: All we get out
here is the catsup/ketchup and mustard. Of course, this ain't exactly
Pittsburgh out here.
I could always walk down to the corner and have a decent bratwurst on
sauerkraut with Boysenberry soda at the Ted's Hot Dogs. I think it's the only
franchise they have outside of New York.
