    As a northern German this is mostly accurate. But they left out that we also fashion a cabbage as a hat and wear it throughout the festivities, especially at social gatherings and in our professional lives as well. Tourists not following this tradition, while not required to participate, will be looked down upon.

    to be fair:
    the dish IS absolutely delicous.
    Smoked pork chop (and/or the kinda special sort of saussage called "Pinkel") simmering for hours and hours in the kale , then sided with potatoes.
    There is an important difference between the eastern and western part of northern Germany regarding the treatment of the poatoes, though.. and one is objectively better. So in the western part the potoes get mostly just cooked in salt water, while in the eastern area they get fried and caramlized with sugar, which adds that next level of taste and texture in contrast to the smokey meat and the salty umami flavour of the watery, mushy kale.
    The cultural importance of this dish for the Frisian part of the population can also NOT be overstated. There is one particually nice folk tale around it, where Pidder Lüng, a local folk hero on the island of Hörnum while the danish occupation of the area about 200 years ago, drowns a danish taxman in the big ass kale pott simmering on the stove, because he - the taxman - wanted unreasonable high taxes for the danish opressors, insulted Pidders parents and spit in the kale pot.
    And then people say germans are too serious, dont have a sense of humour and all their folk stories are somewhat sinister - preposterous!

Looted our(I'm a Dane) cannons and put them display as a monument in Berlin... It's humiliating for us to visit Berlin and be anywhere near the monument because Germans are very polite and will happily give directions to this "monument"...

      Caramelizing potatoes or even adding sugar to the kale is neither a west or east tradition - it is rather typical for Schleswig-Holstein on the northern edge of northern Germany. On the southern edge you can have Bregenwurst (brain sausage) with kale. In Saxony-Anhalt even roasted duck works well with kale.

    I am German, but still prefere the dutch boerenkool stampot a.k.a. boerenstam (Kartoffelstampf mit Grünkohl untergemischt) 🤤 fun fact: i like neither grünkohl nor matched potatoes, but in combination with each other it is great 🤩

    Grünkohl indeed is food for the gods. It even works steamed with garlic oil/sauce or fried with smoked tofu or as a curry. But the classic kale with Mettwurst and/or Kasseler is a peak culinary experience second to none.
