Hello everyone !

In Rouffach, we celebrate the festival of… witches every year.

 

It must be said that this commune of Haut-Rhin, in Alsace, has a long history with witches.

The witch's sauerkraut is not like the others.

Gourmet friends, lovers of smoked bacon, knacks (Strasbourg sausages) and thick shanks, if you have a vigorous fork and an appetite as wide as the imagination, get ready to commit this sin of good food which consists of coming and guzzling at the Haxakessel ("the witch's cauldron"), a pretty table in the center of Rouffach, where the walls are decorated with hooked-nosed dolls flying on broomsticks...

The mistress of the house will serve you her famous haxasurkrut: the witch's sauerkraut.

At the table next door, regulars will explain to you that this specialty combining fermented cabbage, charcuterie and spaetzel (Alsatian noodles) actually comes from the depths of time: in all the family pots, we have always decorated this way what is called "the sauerkraut of the next day", these inevitable leftovers from the day before which remind us that in Alsace we often have eyes bigger than our stomachs.

Good day and good game ;)
