Have you got round to making sauerkraut yet, one of the best foods for your guts.
Not the crap you get pasteurised in the supermarkets with no health benefits, but home made lasts for months.

I never have made it mate.
Been doing some spiced pickled onions and shredded red opinion.

Do you recommend a certain recipe?

[crashbang]

Yep mine.
1kg cabbage, light coloured, I use sweetheart.
20gram sea salt.
Shred finely and add salt in a large bowl.
Scrunch it up for a few mins, re-do a few more times till you get a load of juice and cabbage reduced in volume.
Pack it down in a large mason jar and cover with the liquid.
Now here's my trick, as it ferments pressure builds up in the jar and you have to burp it regularly.
To get round this I put a hole in the lid,and used a wine airlock and let it bubble away for a week or so.
It is so full of probiotics it's unreal.

Did he warn you that the aroma whilst it ferments is that of a fetid cadaver?

My good lady makes it. It absolutely reeks.
