About the dish
Currywurst is the most German of street snacks, sold from kiosks, at railway stations and in canteens across the country. A fried or grilled sausage is cut into slices, covered in a thick, sweetish tomato sauce seasoned with curry and paprika, and finished with another dusting of curry powder. It is eaten with a small wooden or plastic fork, with chips or a bread roll. The dish took off in Berlin after the Second World War, but it is just as closely tied to the Ruhr. In Berlin it is often made with skinless sausage, elsewhere with the skin on.
