Speaking of bird flu, my Dad said sourcrout (sp?) is good for you. I asked him why and he said that it seems to be a cure to bird flu. I didn't know my dad was a bird

Yes it is good for you, and umm I don't think it will cure bird flu, I think he just wanted you to eat it

Kraütern are herbs, in german. Sauer Kraut would mean sour herbs.

Just one of the few things the germans did do good. Just like the invention and production of the volkswagen (litteraly People's Car, designed by Herr Hitler himself, as cheap cars for "his" people) and the highways they built.

The fact that the english/american/whoever really use the name Sauer Kraut to adress the germans, says more about those people then about the germans themselves. Just like all dutch people are referred to as Cheeseheads. Some of us actually look good you know, we're not -all- cheeseheads.

Pling, thank you Kell for this -valuable- piece of information!

You're welcome!

Hey! I don't call the Dutch cheeseheads, or the germans Sauer Kraut! I call them Dutch and Germans, like you call us Americans!

I only call you americans because there's no other name to describe your species.

I've never heard any person called sauerkraut. And only cheesehead if you live in Wisconsin. And exactly what does any of it have to do with bird flu?

Wow, it actually does help? Haha and here I was thinking it was some kind of placebo his father was giving him, just to make him eat his dinner.

Sounds great! I have some in my fridge right now! Good thing I like it. Now, how do you get your kids to eat it?

Sneak it in. Deception might not be right but it is useful.

ha, we don't call em Sour Krouts, just Krouts when it comes to football (the real kind not the American kind

) - otherwise they're just ..Germans, brewers of Warsteiner one of the top tipples.
Never called the Dutch anything, but Americans are always the Yanks - no matter which side of the Yankee doodle whatever line you sit. Heh. *lovings*

My meanin was just on the literal translation of the sounds of the words.....but then you knew that

ya cheesehead.
Why cheesehead? Cos of Edam? I would have thought Two Lips or Potty would be a better description, hehe oh hold me back I hurt me

.

Deception! its the key. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people he didn't exist, and look at the fun that dudes havin.

Yep. We're from the Land of the Big Cheese. Don't ask me why, French has much more cheese and is more smelly too. I'd go for potheads instead of cheeseheads too. Eh.
