I loved this food. All items on the plate were easy to eat because everything was softly cooked. The piece of Kassler meat was as soft as butter, the yellow split pea puree was soft as was the sauerkraut and the sweet potato pieces. Even the other potato pieces were soft enough! (Peter often tells me I cannot cook potatoes because I never cook them soft enough.) So with a glass of beer this was a perfect, dare I say, German lunch for a cold winter day.

Sounds like a lovely warm nutritious meal for these cold Winter days and Nights.

I would say, Emu, this is a typical German meal. From time to time a hearty German meal is quite welcome, especially when it’s cold as right now. Normally I am not all this fond of German cooking.

Not only is it German food, it is Berlin food.
You know, Berlioz, one of my favourite Berlin foods is Rote Grütze mit Vaniillensosse! Yummy! And of course Sauerkraut goes with a lot of meals. What I do not like is a lot of meat. I especially do not like fatty meat. I also do not like it when meat and vegetables are cooked together for hours and hours!
Split pea puree tastes really good to me with sauerkraut and potatoes. However I would not like the split peas if there would be any meat cooked in them.
