Maybe I should have asked this question before lunch but does anyone know how to tell when sauerkraut has gone bad?

Sorry, no, but, man, that is funny. :)

Not even Twinkies have that kind of staying power.

Granted, I like the “it’s pickled” angle. I guess only time will tell.

I’m afraid you’re on your own this time, brother…

If you open a can of saurkraut and on smelling it, believe it to be even remotely edible, then the sauerkraut has stated to go “good” and must not be eaten. Run straight to the store and get some fresh sauerkraut for the lovely “Tell me again why, if there really is free will, I am eating pickled cabbage” odor which signifies good sauerkraut.
