This is also true in my family. My mom usually makes it every year and she cooks the pork roast slowly all day with the sauerkraut. She also adds brown sugar to the sauerkraut so it tastes yummy. We also have real mashed potatos with it and use the pork and sauerkraut juices as the gravy. I'm originally from PA and I'm about 3/4ths German. I always thought that people of German descent did this more than others and it didn't matter where you lived.
