My Curry Wurst Lore Runneth Over

Written by eklastic

You get the six word title but you can’t expect me to be quiet on this topic.

Even without the curry, us Germans have a very close relationship with sausages. The biggest wine fest in the world happens each year in September in Bad Dürkheim in the Palatinate and is called “Wurstmarkt“. The people of the town built a large, detailed fountain in the central square called the “Wurstmarktbrunnen”.

I rather prefer this rapproachment over a sausage than Brezhnev and Honecker.

Incidentally, Honecker was born and grew up pretty close to the Wurstmarkt, namely in the Saarland. Where my son and grandson had the best currywurst EVER when we were on holiday there. They still talk about it a year later – even though the Ruhrpott (the area around Duisburg, Essen, Dortmund et.al.) and Berlin vie for that honour.

Definitely serious business. Do not disturb!!

Incidentally, I saw a report on TV where they asked Asian people on holiday in Germany what they thought about currywurst. Their reaction to this very German dish was hilarious.

  2. The sauce on the chin is classic “I’m doin’ the eatin’, not the cleanin'” kid. I became quite addicted, a long time ago, to Kransky sausage in a roll for lunch. There is often a German Sausage caravan at markets and events but they are too filling for me in the middle of the day. I would have to find somewhere to have a nap 😂
