Odd combinations

We went to the supermarket today. On a whim, I went down the 'International' food aisle. In addition to Mexican and Asian, they had Southern food.

I've picked up Glory canned foods before. In some cases, they use spices in their green beans that taste way different than the bland canned variety. They also sell scalloped potatoes in a can, which is really convenient to use. Cans were on sale for $1, so it was a good time to try some new flavors.

So I saw some canned sauerkraut, which I was considering buying for use as a topping for hot dogs. Then I looked at the label again. It was sauerkraut and apples. I've heard of a few Southern recipes and foods, from collard greens to chitlins, but is this for real?

BTW, my wife bought a can. She's thinking of cutting up some fat free hot dogs and mixing them in. I can't get the woman to go to an Indian restaurant, and she's willing to try this.

I can understand apples and cheese. I can understand peanut butter and bananas. But I just can't picture sauerkraut and apples mixing well.
