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.
