In honoring Fourth of July and the American celebration of Independence, we are going to have a German meal for lunch. Now before you have a cow, please allow me to educate you as to the method of my madness. Its in honor of Baron Von Steuben. Oh, you dont know who that is? Lets just say if it werent for the Prussian known as the Baron, George Washingtons band of renegade patriots would have never learned to be a lean mean, fighting machine known as the Continental Army nor have a chance against the professional mercenaries of the British Expeditionary Force. The Baron in essence was Georges right hand man as he was requested by George personally to train the Army in Discipline, Drilling, Marching, Marksmanship, and Warfare. So on the menu is Sauerbraten already marinating with veggie skewers, red cabbage with apples, and German Potato Salad. Ist sehr Gut! And here is the rest of the story of the Baron. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Wilhelm_von_Steuben
