Hmmm...just had a second post disappear within the past two days.

I said something like...despite being very very German and brought up in that cradle of sauerkrautery, Milwaukee, sauerkraut was not a part of my family's New Year's tradition. We had sauerkraut in every part of the year, but it certainly wasn't specific to New Year's.

Herring, on the other hand... Have to have pickled herring in one form or another, with or without sour cream. Dad made sure it was in the refrigerator a few weeks before Christmas so there would be plenty throughout the holidays.
