Everything about Liberty Cabbage totally explained
Liberty cabbage (also known as
victory cabbage) was an American
euphemism for "
sauerkraut." It was introduced in the
United States during
World War I, but was rarely used thereafter. During the same period "
liberty steak" was used in place of "
hamburger" (hamburger is derived from "
Hamburg", a city in Germany); this euphemism regained popular usage during
World War II. Other euphemisms to spring up during the second World War include "
liberty measles" for "
German measles," "
Eisenhower jacket" for "
Hindenburg jacket," "
Eisenhower herring" for "
Bismarck herring, and others.
"Liberty cabbage" and similar euphemisms are often associated with anti-German sentiment.
