Sauerkraut and kielbasa are both traditional foods. Sauerkraut originated from Germany and means "sour cabbage" while kielbasa is from Poland and means "sausage."

Sauerkraut and kielbasa have roots in Eastern European cuisine! Sauerkraut, a tangy fermented cabbage, has been a staple in German and Polish cooking for centuries. Kielbasa, a flavorful Polish sausage, is also deeply embedded in Eastern European food traditions. They’re a match made in culinary heaven!
