English term or phrase: Sow-A-Kraut
OK. This is a name for a platoon of pigs in a computer game...I would not normally translate names but need to do it here. Any Swedish suggestions from jokers out there? ;-)

disagree  O&S: För mjäkigt! Det är för många nivåer på den här vitsen! Sow-A-Kraut - Sauerkraut... Sow - sugga. Har översatt en massa Terry Pratchett förut, så jag vill fundera på saken om du inte redan har bestämt dig... (Stack jag ut hakan nu?)
