Fermented foods are really good for you.  My parents love sauerkraut.  I
just can't get past its strong bitter taste as I seem to taste bitterness
above all other flavors.

Something to haunt your nightmares:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake
 Categories: Chocolate, Cakes
      Yield: 16 Servings
 
  2 1/4 c  Flour, Unbleached, Sifted
    1/2 c  Cocoa, Baking
      1 ts Baking Powder
      1 ts Baking Soda
    1/4 ts Salt
    2/3 c  Butter Or Regular Margarine
  1 1/2 c  Sugar
      3 lg Eggs
      1 ts Vanilla
      1 c  Water
    2/3 c  Sauerkaraut *

MMMMM-----------------CREAMY CHOCOLATE FROSTING----------------------
      1 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate
      3 oz Cream Cheese, Softened
      1 tb Milk
      1 c  Confectioners' Sugar
    1/8 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Vanilla Extract
 
  * Sauerkraut should be rinsed and drained thoroughly and then chopped
  coarsely.
  ~---------------------------------------------------------------------
  Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and
  salt; set aside.  Cream together the butter and sugar in a bowl until
  light and fluffy, using an electric mixer set at medium speed.  Add
  eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Beat in
  vanilla. Add dry ingredients alternately with water to creamed
  mixture, beating well after each addition.  Stir in sauerkraut.
  Spread batter in greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan.
  
  Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 35 minutes or until cake tests done. 
  Cool in pan on rack.  Frost with Creamy Chocolate Frosting.  Cut into
  squares.

  CREAMY CHOCOLATE FROSTING: Melt chocolate in a custard cup in hot water. 
  Cool slightly.  Combine chocolate, cream cheese, milk, confectioners'
  sugar, salt, and vanilla in a bowl.  Beat with an electric mixer at high
  speed until smooth and creamy.

  NOTE: This is one of those dishes that sound absolutely horrible, but
  tastes great.  It is also one of those recipes that is a classic but you
  can never find in most cookbooks.  I have fooled my kids with this as well
  as seen it done on TV.  Everyone thinks that the sauerkraut is coconut. 
  So be sure to rinse and drain the sauerkraut several times when you make
  this recipe.
 
MMMMM
