We first learned about Morse’s Sauerkraut when the HH and I stopped for lunch at Red’s Eats in Wiscasset, Maine on one of our weekly date days a few months ago. Red’s served Morse’s sauerkraut on their weenies, and after just one bite, we were hooked.
Holly cow man, the world would be such a better place if more towns were filled with hometown deli’s, country stores and REAL honest to goodness simple food offerings than fast food shacks and mini marts serving corn dogs and gallon sized servings of soda.
Now I’m not a big sauerkraut person, in fact I’ve been known to turn up my nose to the stuff you find in a can or sitting on the shelf in your typical grocery store. But SERIOUSLY FRESH sauerkraut that’s hand packed and made in small batches? YES PLEASE! Give me a fork, I’ll eat it out of the jar.
Cabbage, salt and sugar…. Just three ingredients. Who knew it could taste so good? Morse’s Sauerkraut in Waldoboro, Maine also packs their own pickles {several varieties actually} and although we didn’t go home with a jar of pickles…. I know we will be grabbing a jar {or two} the next time we go back.
The pastrami and corned beef? Freakin’ fantastic!
We loved our visit to Morse’s Sauerkraut in Waldoboro, Maine so much, I think we are going to have to take my parents there this fall when they come for a visit. My Dad, who is a BIG sauerkraut and German weenies fan, would love the place, I’m sure of it.
There is even a small dining area that I hear serves wonderful deli sandwiches and weenies. This place is oozing with New England charm.
Check out those cabbage pom poms hanging from the ceiling!
Morse’s Sauerkraut and Deli has everything you could possible need to put together a nice picnic or a gift basket. They even offer mail order for Pete’s sake.
An entire self dedicated to mustard. You gotta love it.
So… bottom line… If you ever find your self anywhere near Waldoboro, Maine make sure and stop by Morse’s Sauerkraut for rations. You won’t be disappointed with the place, or the food. I promise.

Thought you hated hot dogs? Called them “smelly weenies”. :). I guess Maine doggies are better!
Stephanie says
I love stores like that! We visited a few in Door County, WI on our recent trip, and I agree with you, life would be a lot nicer if all stores were more like these local little shops with stocked produced by people who live nearby, instead of huge, impersonal megastores, heavy on the fluorescent lighting, crammed with cheap plastic junk and food of questionable origin.
Mavis Butterfield says
Yes!

LOVE fresh kraut! Nothing like the stuff in the supermarket. We have the local Catholic Parish here that puts on a fall festival every November with home made kraut and home made sausage. It’s the dinner everyone waits for. Pies too!
Laura says
Ahhhh…the famous sausage supper! Grew up on those in the midwest and I have such fond memories of them. Such a fun night out!
Deborah says
I love sauerkraut. I can eat it straight from the jar. I don’t eat the stuff from the cans. Just from the jars. My grandmother used to make kraut. Yummy. She taught me a lot about cooking, but I didn’t get her kraut recipe. She put sugar in hers, too.
lynne says
Highly recommend trying your hand at making your own kraut! Very simple! We shred about 25# every 4-5 years. Makes enuf to last us that long. We freeze it after it’s done fermenting and ready to eat, but it can be canned as well. Yummo! lynneinwi

I made sauerkraut this year for the first time with cabbage from my garden. It turned out wonderful. In case anyone is interested, here is where I got the recipe:

Deborah says
Thank you for the link for the kraut. I’ll be making some as soon as I can get the weights.
Desi says
I actually recognise some of those mustards. They are german made or what we have here in German
Karen says
Ja, ja, Looks familiar!
Linda says
You mentioned the cabbage pom poms. What are they, actually? I really like the looks of them hanging . I wonder where they got them.
Deborah says
The look like paper flowers to me.
Tracy says
I think they’re paper flowers made of crepe paper. Lots of YouTube vids showing how.
Mavis Butterfield says
They are just tissue paper balls…. and the lighter colors were just with a wave. They are super simple to make.
Gigi says
If you like mustard, The National Mustard Museum near Madison, WI is a lot of fun. The basement has thousands of specimens and the first floor sticks hundreds for sale and will let you try them all.
Libby says
I paid 171.3 gallons @ $2.645 for heating oil in February 2017 and 175.4 gallons @ $3.049 January 2018.
