Food / WHAT DID YOU EAT FOR POLISH EASTER TODAY? [45]

I forgot to say HAPPY EGG & BUNNY DAY to everyone... or anyone at all until now.

All I need is some carrots, some parsley root and some sauerkraut juice.

The only troubles are that I don't think the parsley I see in the greengrocer's has roots attached (or should I look in the herbs and spices section?) and that, although I have an unopened jar of sauerkraut knocking around somewhere, I'm not sure what the juice is supposed to be. Will this be obvious when I open the jar or will I be even more confused.

Stupid goat will probably try to eat the lid off the sauerkraut jar.

Thanks, Szarlotka, for an interesting, witty, touching and heartfelt read. Very few people are ever so lucky to know a chap like your late friend. May he live on in your heart and the hearts of those who he must have meant so much to.

One question about your style of prose: did you ever listen to a radio programme called "Home Truths"?

Yeast? Will any yeast do the trick? Is ten days really necessary? If it can be a little volatile, I suppose a large container may be a good idea.


A very ugly, but a very good and underrated vegetable.


Juice?
