It is really good, (well of course, otherwise why would I post it huh?) I have run out myself, and as soon as I can get myself on some raw milk I'll be making up a huge batch!

Omg, I was thinking how lovely they'd taste with your relish. And seeing as yours is the only kind I eat, well a match made in heaven! Thanks for visiting Sarah!

I don't eat breakfast ;-)

But that does look like it would make a great meal. So you grate the sweet potato raw?

Hey Anthia, this recipe was actually inspired by a visit to Collettes, her food flavours and combinations are amazing and always delicious. Until then I hadn't been so adventurous with my ferments. Drop in again soon :)

Hey Michael, I think it would taste okay blended, but I really like the texture as it is. Just thinking of it blended makes me think of baby food. Let me know how it goes :)

Looks awesome. Will let you know how it tastes after I try it. I wonder what it would taste like blended smooth in my vita-mix?

It's funny, that's exactly what I thought when I was first introduced to fermented foods. I couldn't fathom even tasting them, let alone make them. Hmmm so what does it taste like? Tradtional Sauerkraut tastes like cabbage with a slightly tangy flavour, you can buy an organic version, but from memory it wasn't as good as homemade (generally the deal huh). It's quite strong, but the idea is just as a small side condiment, you don't need much. The Cortido has a slightly warmer flavour (every single person I've fed this too, loves it!) and the cabbage apple salsa is fresh and obviously alot sweeter. Let me know if you venture into making them, they really are not hard.

I've never tried sauerkraut or anything fermented as it sounds too scary. Can you describe what this tastes like?
