Scotchtoberfest - Photos added

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

Tonight I'm going to Scotchtoberfest. It is a Scottish/German dinner and Oktoberfest party. Some of us will be in lederhosen and others in kilts.

My part of the evening is Gebacken Bratwurst und Sauerkraut mit kummel.
This isn't your next door neighbors grilled brats and rancid kraut. It is slow baked bratwurst in brown beer sauce served over baked home make fermented kohl (cabbage) with caraway. It takes two weeks for the sauerkraut to ferment, and tastes and smells nothing like the stuff at the ball park. The dish takes about four hours to make and bake. The house smells like deutsch himmel right now.

Others will be bringing Rouladen, Spatzel, gurkensalat, strudel, wurst and kase platter, schwazbrot, rotkohl, and of course - Black Forest Walnut cake.

I'll post photos tomorrow.



Funny after-comment - Spellcheck's suggestion for rotkohl ( red cabbage) is roadkill.

I find the title of this event *highly* deceptive, as it doesnt appear to involve drinking large quantities of Scotch at all!?

Veto.

Gee Stacy,

You're killing me here. Sounds like a superb dinner to a Scots/German.

I thought this was going to be a thread on which type of peated malt delivers the richest flavor, or what to expect at different ages in the barrel versus oak chips. I didn't expect bratwurst, either. However, my wife loves good bratwurst, so now I'm interested. Do you have a recipe for it, Stacy?

My wife used to love a good bratwurst too... problem was, she didnt always wait till i was around. Did I mention she was my Ex-wife?

on another note, I do love Scotch, bratwurst, german beer and spatzel... Sign me up.
