Currywurst - a sausage with spicy sauce - is one of Germany's most popular snacks, especially in Berlin. Anyone who comes here is missing out if they don't try the famous, or infamous, currywurst. It’s a Berlin staple. You may just think it’s a simple hotdog with a special spicy ketchup but it’s much more complicated than that. Berlin currywurst is prepared and served in a variety of different ways that determine the individual quality and taste. But how do you prepare the perfect currywurst? And what goes into the sauce? On this episode of "Food Secrets," we get to the bottom of the subject to answer these questions.

I grew up eating this as well as my father owned an ImbiS when Germany was still divided. Now living in Canada, I went back to Germany after 30 years and had it again.. the iconic wavy paper plate, the taste and just hearing German all around me (now I'm not even able to understand) made me pretty emotional. So simple yet so good.

As a german I can say that you will get the best curry wurst at small villages during football tournaments or festivals. They use sausages from local butchers and grill them on a real charcoal grills. The frites and oil are bought just for that weekend. And the person behind grill is doing it voluntarily. So the main interest is making good wurst, not making good money. With some luck they are using a sauce that has been improved over decades by some enthusiasts. Believe me, this is the real deal!

Having tried it (not this specific one, but still currywurst) - its really the correct amount of sauce. It just works. I’d say “drowning” point is where they take that ketchup bucket and drop a single sausage in it. Might depend on the amount of curry on top though.

Back in the 1980’s curry wurst with a brotchen (hard roll) and pommes (fries) were sold at Imbiss stands not usually in a building. Imbiss stands were often trailers parked on the side of the road or around pedestrian areas. You had a choice of white (Weiss wurst) or Rinds wurst - more like a hot dog. That’s what I remember in central Germany.

My German friend talked up Currywurst with religious zeal when I told him I was going to Bayern. I though it was okay🤣 I found Leberkase and schweinshaxe to be divine! I had venison cordon bleu in Oberammergau made from a deer shot the day before, top 5 meals of my life for sure.

It's so easy to make this at home. Get bratwurst, cook it and remove. Then cut it the way you like or leave whole. Then sprinkle on some garam masala into the pan, add some ketchup a little water and make a sauce. Add as much or as little spice as you like depending upon your palate. Don't overdo it. There is such a thing as too much. Pour onto bratwurst. Eat.

I was in Germany 1.5 years. I discovered Currywurst being sold in front of a movie theater. After eating a serving I ordered a 2nd helping. Every night after that I would walk the 2 miles to the theater and stuff myself on it. Eventually the Army had to put me on the fat boy program. Even though I was 17yo with high metabolism, and had never been fat, the Currywurst addiction proved too much.
