Currywurst

Country Of Origin: Germany 🇩🇪

Move over hotdogs... Hello Currywurst! This fast food dish of German origin consists of steamed, and fried pork sausage (Bratwurst) which is typically cut into bite-sized chunks & seasoned with curry ketchup, or tomato paste topped with curry powder. Frequently served with fries and a miniature fork, which for some reason, is actually a lot of fun to eat with. Street vendors usually have quite the lineup of locals and tourists alike (especially in the wee hours of the morning after a night out on the town).

History: The invention of currywurst is attributed to Herta Heuwer in Berlin in 1949, after she obtained ketchup (or possibly Worcestershire sauce) and curry powder from British soldiers in Germany. She mixed these ingredients with other spices and poured it over grilled pork sausage. Heuwer started selling the cheap but filling snack at a street stand in the Charlottenburg district of Berlin, where it became popular with construction workers rebuilding the devastated city. She patented her sauce under the name "Chillup" in 1951. At its height the stand was selling 10,000 servings per week. She later opened a small restaurant which operated until 1974

Fun Fact: There is an entire museum dedicated to the beloved dish. Located in Berlin, Germany, the Deutsches Currywurst Museum is sure to please even the biggest currywurst enthusiasts!
