The question is: Is sauerkraut a vegetable?
I would appreciate any learned opinions.


Sauerkraut is a dish made with cabbage. Cabbage is a vegetable.

If you define a vegetable as a something you can grow, you can't grow
sauerkraut. (You can grow cabbage to make sauerkraut, however.)

If you define a vegetable as a type of food, sauerkraut is a vegetable as much
as sausage is a meat, or bread is a grain.
