Creamed Cabbage Soup with Kolbasz (Kaposzta Leves Fustolt Kobassza)

I was tempted to write a long story about how when my great-great-grandmother was a girl she smuggled this Creamed Cabbage Soup with Kolbasz (Kaposzta Leves Fustolt Kobassza) recipe out of Hungary by sewing a copy of this in the hem of her skirt.
That didn’t happen. For one thing, my grandmothers were variations of the German/ Polish/ Swiss theme. For another? I got this from a church cookbook which is freely available at Archive.org.

Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake (just for @ascalzi98)

When digging through old recipe books and cards sometimes you find something interesting (or more of a WTF?). This is one of those things. I am actually tempted though to try it but this is something I would not use good sauerkraut in. The canned stuff should be fine- no using the stuff from my friends at  Barrel and Brine-  (seriously please click through and throw them a few dollars of support to help them feed their neighborhood during Covid-19)
