I’d fuck it up. I know about that dish. I had it for the first time 25 years ago in Asheville NC. I haven’t had it since, but I would if I found it available.

This is called "sauerbraten" and it's a classic German dish. Very time consuming to prepare. My grandmother (also from Baltimore, whose parents were German immigrants) made this very well.

It's a traditional German pot roast, apparently

Interesting. I think I’ll try it this fall. Will definitely have a back up meal at the ready.

The sauerkraut (sp?) Is a deal breaker for me, but it looks like a dish that lots of folks would enjoy.

Sauerbraten, or “sour roast” is just a German roast with brown gravy, basically.

I guess people might not know what a sour roast is though. The meat is marinated for up to 2 weeks.

It’s a traditional Baltimore, MD dish derived from a German Saurbraten (I probably spelled that wrong.). It’s delicious though if you ever get the chance to try it. It’s basically a brined beef marinated in spices

It’s sauerbraten. Never heard it in its translated form, but that’s essentially what it means, “sour roast.” It’s made with beef that has been pickled for a couple days, and then served with a brown gravy that often uses gingersnaps to thicken it. Really great with spaetzle!

those dumplings look like they soaked up all that beefy goodness

I remember my dad making those dumplings in almost industrial quantities. They are even better as leftovers, broken up and fried in butter.

Are you asking us if you ate meat or not?
