You have got to be from Pittsburgh or at least Polish.
That's one of my wife's favorite dishes and she is both.
:) Wrong on both counts. Born and raised, went to school, church etc in New Jersey at the shore. Maternal grandparents were from Germany. We had the Traditional Pork and Sauerkraut, Mashed potatoes on New Year's Day. Married 46 years and have never had anything else except that to ring in the New Year. :)
