CABBAGE SALAD WITH CHESTNUTS
 Blanch the sauerkraut for 5 minutes in boiling water.  Drain.   Extend the mayonnaise with the crème fraiche and 5 tablespoons of cold water.  Put this on the sauerkraut, add salt and pepper and  toss well.  Allow to stand for at least an hour in a serving dish.  Degrease the gizzards and cut in two.  Brown the chestnuts in 1 tablespoon of the gizzard fat or bacon fat.  Keep them warm.  Sauté the gizzards and bacon and scatter over the sauerkraut.  Add the chestnuts, sprinkle with the chopped chives.
