Thanks for the warm welcome and the new thread: Yes, it is true that in "modern" Sauerkraut pineapple is often added. As a matter of fact I found this recipe (combining pineapple with Sauerkraut) in my first "google" search. 1 Zwiebel 100 g Speck; durchwachsen 1 Lorbeerblatt 1 Dose Sauerkraut 1 Pikkolo 1/2 Dose Ananas ; mit Saft 4 El. Honig ; Cayennepfeffer Zubereitung : Zwiebel und Speck in Würfel schneiden und in wenig Fett weichdämpfen. Das Sauerkraut trocken ausdrücken, mit Pikkolo, Ananas plus Saft und Honig zu den Speckzwiebeln geben. 1/4 Stunden fest geschlossen kochen lassen, dann mit Cayennepfeffer würzen und bei offenem Deckel herabkochen In addition, I find it interesting that the pineapple with Sauerkraut is a "modern" way to cook it. Even though I did not research this further I assume it was not added in the 'traditional style', because it was just not as available as it is today. Aloha...

Aloha und Guten Tag: I hope my comments fit within the purpose of this thread. It is interesting to me that many German recipes are titled “Hawaii” Salad, Baguette “Hawaii”, or “Hawaii” Cake, for, it seems, as long as there is a piece of pineapple in the recipe (Ananas=Pineapple) it will be called "Hawaii 'something.'" As one can see in the following recipes the amount of pineapple can vary between 3 slices , 4 tablespoons, 1 can etc. I find this very fascinating and was wondering if this is the case in other countries as well. I do know that one of the main US pizza places offers Hawaii pizza, which includes pineapple as a topping. These are the examples I found: Hawaii-Salat • Zitronensaft: 2 Esslöffel, Sellerieknolle: 1, Kopfsalat: 1, Äpfel: 2 • Mandelstifte: 50 Gramm, Orange: 1, Mayonnaise: 3 Esslöffel • Bd. Radieschen: 1, Scheibe Ananas: 3 , Wasser Salz Pfeffer Zucker: 0.5 Liter Prise Calvados: 1 Baguette Hawaii 1 Baguette, aufbackbar , 2 Stück Sahne-Schmelzkäse 1 Pck. Schinken, gewürfelt 1 Käse (Edamer) 4 EL Ananas 4 TL Mandeln, gehobelt 2 Prise Pfeffer Hawaii Torte 2 Eier , 50 g Zucker, Vanillin Zucker, 30 g Mehl, 25 g Speisestärke, 1 Msp. Backpulver Für den Belag: 1 Dose Ananas in Ringen, 850 ml, 1 Dose Frucht Cocktail, 850 ml, 1 Päck. gemahlene Gelatine, 500 g Quark, 400 g Sahne, 100 g Zucker, 1-2 Päck. klarer Tortenguß Aloha, und Tschuess
