J'adore Strasbourg. My stepson just started université there. And I'd like to add, for those (like me) who really are not big fans of Christmas markets, Strasbourg is a marvelous, gorgeous town to visit any old time!
A long time ago, shortly before we left for Europe I cooked a pork loin from one of the big meat packing places. It was so full of chemicals we couldn't eat it. Thinking of it is unpleasant.
We stayed a couple of days in Strasbourg, in a hotel looking straight at the Cathedral. The first night we went out to a restaurant recommended in a guidebook. I got the choucroutte garnie, and it was the best port I have ever eaten. Part of a chop, a pork sausage, and a chunk of ham. It was fatty and delicious. None of your US lean pork. The choucroutte was utterly unlike anything I ever get in the US; I don't know what it was but I loved it.

Hi, I totally agree! This was our second trip. I've got a follow up NL coming later this week more generally about Strasbourg. :-)

Why have I never been back?
You should go, absolutely!
