What is currywurst?
Currywurst is exactly what it sounds like – a combination of Indian and German culinary delights that serves as a perfect snack.
Obtained from vendors on the streets of Berlin, currywurst is simply sliced sausage with a curry (“kari“) sauce and powder, served with a pick to heave the hot morsels into your mouth. Although it’s usually made with pork sausage, halal beef, chicken and vegetarian options are available – I got mine from a food trailer just north of Checkpoint Charlie.
It’s totally not authentic – German sausage enthusiasts would probably cringe, and no Indian would recognise the sauce as anything desi – but it’s cheap, tasty and just like Berlin, it rocks!
eeeeeekkkk no what’s wrong with tomato sauce or mustard??
Hahahahahaha well this was certainly an “experience”!!
So so wrong….. but then no trip to Germany is complete without someone trying them! 😘😘
So wrong… but so right!!!
Tim, I am very familiar with currywurst and guess what 😛 … I had it yesterday for my lunch. I found it in one of Chinese supermarkets on a shelf with a bunch of other international food. It was a packed currywurst but it tasted delicious when I fried it :).
Oh wow, you found currywurst in China??? That’s awesome!! I didn’t even know there were packed versions!!
