Whenever pounding shredded cabbage with a sprinkling of salt to make sauerkraut, I can't help but think
of Brigitte Bardot. Why? Because in the 1960's when the famous French actress piled her blonde hair on top of her head in a casual mess, the result was a coiffure nicknamed une choucroute.
Choucroute of course is French for sauerkraut. The hairstyle en choucroute became emblematic not only of Brigitte Bardot, but also a sign of the times of greater social and fashion freedoms for women.
