Iron Chef German project

OK, here's the deal.  A couple classmates and I are doing an Iron Chef parody for a German project.  If anyone has any suggestions, especially of German recipes to try, but also of ways to make it funny, we would greatly appreciate them.  Our theme ingredient is sauerkraut.  :)  And, as we are all college students with limited cooking facilities, relatively simple recipes and/or dishes with not too many ingredients (or ingredients like "1 green pepper" that we could easily buy and use up, rather than a ton of small quantities of spices and such) are preferable.

Anyone?  :)

[Addendum: Before anyone asks, yes, I realize I can refer to Google, but I prefer to trust the word of people I might at least kind of know as to what food is good/easy to make, etc., when possible.  :)]

My dad always liked to make Spaetzel. It's a pretty simple dish. I don't have any idea how it matches with sauerkraut though. :)

yeah, that would not work well with sauerkraut....

Hmm...I don't know any recipes off the top of my head, but you may be able to have fun with bratwurst or other types of German sausage. :)

I've had a sauerkraut rye bread that was really good (sort of pumpernickel-y). I don't have a recipe, though.

heheh

There's even a Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake for dessert!

:D

Yeah, I got a recipe for a Black Forest sauerkraut cake from Google......blech.

Never know... could be good!

I guess....supposedly you can't taste the sauerkraut, it just makes it moist....but, I'm not sure I believe that...

And this is even worse! Ick!

I hate sauerkraut (I'm such a bad german) so ALL of these recipes are making me ill. :) Why'd ya pick THAT? :)

really????? I loooooooooooooooove sauerkraut.

After all the stuff you mentioned liking on the wall yesterday... (savory, salty, sour) I would think you'd love it!

You'd think...but it's a bit TOO sour for me.

You mean, as a theme ingredient?

We just thought it was really funny, because it's such a gross-looking food and such a gross-sounding word that it'll be a good anti-climactic (for lack of a better word) ingredient.  :)

So, every time I try to post something in this forum, I get the "this page cannot be displayed" thing.  It posts my messages anyway, so it's not a big deal, but does anyone have any idea why that happens every time and only in this thread?

Huh Weird! I'm not having that problem...

I've been having it happen off and on in all forums. That's how I accidentally triple-posted in a diary reply. :)

Yep, almost happened to me too. seems to be an extraordinary time lag between sending the post and it being posted. maybe another email virus overloading the net?

I'm actually just posting in this thread so we can get 3 active threads on the front page again. :D

Damn you!
Getting my hopes up that someone had a suggestion for me...and all for nothing!
:P

Awwww.. sorry sweetie. :(
