Sauerkraut

Two things you never want to see in a can of off-brand sauerkraut:

1) A bulging end

2) The words "Best by Dec 2018"

Thank you for your lack of service, kraut can! There are some things that I will eat, even 20+ years after expiration (i.e. candy), but sauerkraut is not one of them.



UPDATE: On my fb group that helps people decipher old German handwriting, someone posted this photo which, yes, I have stolen just for readers of Mrs Guy. What's super interesting about it is that these are containers for tea, dill, caraway and flour. I shared my surprise at how much caraway they use in proportion to tea and dill, and someone responded: "One word: sauerkraut!"

Well ok!

Yikes.

Sweetie, the adorable 13-year-old black lab who is covered in blobs of fat and belongs to our 77-year-old lesbian neighbor, is known to enjoy sauerkraut. Just thought you'd want to know.
