When I first ran across the phrase "crottled greeps", I tried to figure out what
either of the words could mean. For "greep" I found nothing, but crottle is a
lichen used to make dye (such as cudbear (2006-02) or litmus) or, in Scots,
any lichen. So I figured that crottling is fermenting with lichen, possibly
using it as an indicator to tell when it's done. I've made sauerkraut with red
cabbage. Blaukraut bleibt Blaukraut, unless it's made into Sauerkraut, in
which case it becomes Rotkohl.
