Throw the pickle juice away?? SACRILEGE!!! Pickle juice is to be drank straight from the bottle, not thrown away! (course my wife gags when I drink soy sauce straight from the bottle but that stuff is good too!)

Sauerkraut is best when it has caraway seed in it... extra flavor! VERY tasty!
Indeed! I disgusted my German boss when I told her I did that too ("Why waste the juice?").

MMmmm... need to fix me a plate of corned beef and sauerkraut and sit down and watch HEE-HAW while I eat supper... good times!
I can guess why he might hate it. A late Jewish friend of mine had an aunt from the old country (Russia) who ruined corned beef by boiling it too long, so that it shimmied on the plate (as he said, "I swear that she boiled her toast!") and had an unappetizing texture and little flavor left. Maybe the corned beef GH has had was similarly over-cooked? (A trick my friend discovered to prevent excessive shrinkage of the meat when making corned beef and cabbage is to simmer the corned beef in the pot with the vegetables for half of the cooking time, then slice it and finish cooking it in the pot [which takes less than the remaining half of the time because the corned beef is sliced].)

Ugh--what a way to ruin two perfectly good foods that cry out to be fried, sauteed, or baked! That's why Francis Gary Powers (the U-2 pilot) surprised his mother when he returned to the US after his stint in a Soviet prison. The first time he had dinner at her house after returning, she asked him what he would like and he answered, "A baked potato." When she asked him why he wanted such a simple entree, he replied that for two years he'd had only boiled potatoes!

One way to counteract it if you ever hit the limit is to have a banana handy. My father liked extremely hot chili, and as he grew older that became a problem. He found that taking a bite of banana after having a spoonfull of chili or piccadillo (Cuban-style chili) largely neutralized the "burn effects" without killing or spoiling the dish's flavor.

Sticks BBQ in Brownwood, TX makes the "Redneck Rueben". The corned beef is replaced with BBQ brisket, and the sandwich is big enough to block a colon! A cold Shiner Bock on the side and Woo Hoo!

A pile of fresh VOMIT is less offensive than ANY form of Kraut, Cooked Cabbage, or Corned beef.
Barf-O-RAMA disgusting.
My mother's whole side of the family was all German- the food at wedding receptions was so disgusting I needed my parents to stop on the way home for food every time when I was a child. The smell alone was worse than an average sun-baking GARBAGE TRUCK.

Rank smelling meats/veggies belong in one place and one place only- the TRASH CAN.

A 3-year old can of Skoal has more nutritional value than ANY CABBAGE product.

Two of our neighbors in Georgia, Carl and Lorraine Lehmann, were examples of the "cabbage culinary divide." He was of Danish heritage, while she was of Italian ancestry. He loved home-made sauerkraut, and while she was happy to see him happy eating it, she hated the scent of it (during the preparation process) and considered making it part of the "For better or for worse" clause of the marriage vows.

I will take virtually the worst Italian cuisine over virtually any Danish cuisine.
Chef Boyardee in a can even.
Danish, like British and German cuisine, in a word, SUCKS.

I can't go all the way there with you on that one. While the Danes do have some odd food preferences (such as raw ground beef on crackers and "spaghetti" that consists of pasta with melted butter and salt on it), they do have some quite good entrees and dishes. Their red sausage and Danish mustard are very tasty, as are their open-face sandwiches (made with thick bread piled high with deli meats, cheeses, and condiments, and eaten using a knife and fork). They also make some of the best ham, ribs, and omelets (the Danish Storwestern omelet, which they make with several meats and with virtually every vegetable *except* cabbage). A friend of mine worked for a contractor at Thule Air Force Base in Greenland in the late 1960s, and even though he could eat at the USAF officers' mess hall, he preferred the fare at the Danes' dining hall.
