Help, please

I am presently engaged in a silly argument.

The question is: Is sauerkraut a vegetable? I would appreciate any learned opinions.

Thanks !!!!!!

Sauerkraut is a dish made with cabbage. Cabbage is a vegetable.

If you define a vegetable as a something you can grow, you can't grow sauerkraut. (You can grow cabbage to make sauerkraut, however.)

If you define a vegetable as a type of food, sauerkraut is a vegetable as much as sausage is a meat, or bread is a grain.

In fact it's made of shreaded cabbage that's put in and aged in a barrel, not sure if it's saltwater or something else, but when I was in Germany, the eating places outside of town would have a fresh barrel just outside the door and they'd get it from there for the orders of it and it was good too!
