As a matter of fact, in the various places I've lived my friends found the
idea not only odd but distasteful. Can you imagine?? :>) In a
cookbook containing old Md. recipes I found the menu for an annual turkey
dinner that the ladies of Old Hallow's Church in A.A. Co. started serving
in about 1893 and one of the items was saurkraut. I have ancestors from
Germany so it wouldn't be strange for my family to serve it but my
husband's ancestors are Irish and his family wouldn't have dreamed of not
serving it on Christmas and Thanksgiving.

If anyone has a good peach cake recipe, forward it please, my mom is
looking for one
we used to sell Baughuffs <sp?> bakery in Woodlawn the peaches for their
peach cakes.

And my wife (who is from upstate NY) does not understand why Sour Kraut
goes with Turkey. I just tell her it does..

Another think people do not understand is a Christmas Garden... I guess
that was unique to the Baltimore area..
I can tell you there are 53 or so people on this list right now..
