Rippchen are Kasseler-style cured pork rib cutlets, and Frankfurt's taverns have served them on sauerkraut for as long as the Bembel has existed. The dish is engineering as much as cooking: the cured meat warms gently in the steam of the kraut, staying pink and juicy while the cabbage sharpens with pork fat. It is the canonical cold-weather order in the apfelwein houses, where the acidity of the cider cuts the richness, and it appears boiled or grilled depending on the house's persuasion.
