Himmel Und Erde (Heaven and Earth) image

Posted for World Tour 2006, this is a traditional German accompaniment to sausages or pork dishes. The flavors meld quite a bit better than one unaccustomed to it would guess. Try it--I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I made this dish for my family and they absolutely loved it. Even the kids, who are usually picky eaters, asked for seconds.
