🇩🇪 Germany recipe

Currywurst

Invented in Berlin in 1949 by Herta Heuwer, currywurst has become Germany's most iconic street food, with over 800 million consumed annually. The genius lies in the sauce: a homemade ketchup-based concoction spiked with curry powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce that transforms a simple grilled sausage into an addictive, tangy, warmly spiced experience.
