Humor: The Patron Saint of Sauerkraut

This inspirational tale of ethnic food comes from the soon to be published “Stuff I didn’t want to eat but did” by Ted Demopoulos, author, speaker, and poet.

Last Week-end when I was out,
I met a man named Philbert Fout.
He was eating Sauerkraut, piled up high upon a trout.

He said “won’t you try some Sauerkraut??? I often eat it when I’m out.”

“Oh, no thank you Philbert Fout, I do not like Sauerkraut.
I never eat it - not even when out,
I do not like it - there is no doubt.
But I thank you Philbert Fout, I thank you for offering me your sauerkraut.”

Philbert Fout, he looked confused.
And when his confusion was diffused,
He looked, perhaps a bit amused!!

“So, you say, you don’t like `Kraut?
You don’t know what it’s about!
It is wonderful with smoked trout!
A festive meal when you are out!
The French consider it Cuisine of Haut!
I love to shovel it down my snout!
Kings of old took it for gout!
Try some, try some sauerkraut,
You will LOVE it have nooooo doubt!!”
