4. No, but..

when I was a kid, one of my dad's co-workers was married to an East German lady and we went to their house for dinner regularly.. all I really can remember was the red sauerkraut she made.. I've never to this day had any remotely as good.

8. Probably made with paprika and tomato puree.

Which sounds Hungarian, of course, and yummy.

9. I suspect it was Rotkohl.

Which is yummy but doesn't involve tomatoes and paprika.

See various recipes below.

7. We're thinking of going to that neck of the woods

and are interested in before and after comparisons.

6. Yup, in East Berlin, before going to the Berliner Ensemble.

The only thing I remember is having cake and coffee.
