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!
I lived in Germany for 15 years and I agree with you. The wurst grilled over charcoals until really crispy at funfairs, festivals in smaller towns were always the best. The frites were too!
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.
Never acquired a taste the currywurst, but that mention of the wavy-paper-plate... That was my happy german-memory. Bit of snow on the ground, few too many beers after work, christmas market closed around me, wondering about whether to grab a taxi - and a paper plate of nuclear-hot sausages with all the mustards in my had (with a complete f'in useless mini-fork)

This was what fed me during my 3 months in Germany. Cheap and tasty, sometimes comes with bread to keep you full. They sell em everywhere. Ain't rich so this was great
I’ve eaten at that particular Curry 36’ many times over the years when visiting Berlin. My personal gold standard for CurrYwurst. I can see why it’s so good as the owner is so passionate yet down to earth, making a good product well but also not overly pompous like he’s reinvented the wheel.
Not meaning to undermine the owner's hard work. Through my point of view, I would often see most people coming here who were too tired to stay in line for Mustafa's. Me including.😂
I was introduced to Currywurst as a soldier while based close to Hohne in the early '00s. Being a young man and easily tempted by the intoxicating wares of the local bierkellers it was common to find me staggering back to barracks, in the early hours of the morning, on possibly my third tray of the stuff.
I was at the Curry36 at Mehringdamm just over a year ago. Very pleasant memory and the food was amazing, I even ordered an extra round! Thanks for the great video
I used to live in Germany. Everyone always asks me if I miss Schnitzel. Schnitzel is great, but what I really miss is Currywurst. Can't get it anywhere in the US. I also really miss Käse Brötchen, and weirdly, Quark.
Curious German here, so there is no "Käsebrötchen" to be found in the US, the country that puts cheese on everything? Its kinda hard to believe, but I have never been in the US so what do I know
@@BarreLemon Hahaha, good point, but we just don't really have good bread here. Pretty much people only eat white bread in the us. There are no brötchen at all. The closest thing you can get are cheese bagels.
As a Norwegian I'm absolutely blown away by the amount of ketchup and mayo that they put on that food. If it's "important not to drown the wurst", then I would like to see what's considered a drowning amount.
I can say the restaurant on base in Germany that served the german nationals working there didn't put nearly that much ketchup on the currywurst and it was delicious. Once a week I would go there for lunch and get a take out. This was a long time ago, back in the 80s.
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.
First had curry wurst in the seventies and every time I am fortunate enough to go back its the first thing I go out for, curry wurst with fries and a beer, nice.
I had currywurst when I first moved to Germany in 1975. I still make it for myself now I'm back in England, but I always think back to Germany when I do....I loved my time there.
@@DWFood Just under the grill until they're golden brown, then sliced and covered in ketchup with curry powder sprinkled over the top. With pommes röt weisse, naturally!
You had to do it. You had to remind me of the last currywurst I had when I lived i Germany.............35 years ago. Now I have a real craving ............ and not one slim hope of finding a currywurst tonight, or tomorrow, or maybe for months But I will!
Make it yourself! You can really use any quality pork sausage and a curry sauce is super easy to make yourself in less than 5 minutes and it's absolutely delicious and easy!!
@@DWFood Was kinda hoping the video would go more into the origins... I was under the impression it was an Indian-German fusion dish given the "curry", but that doesn't seem to be the case.
@@nahor88 Not really. But in germany ther is "Curry-Powder". Hasn't much to do with a proper indian curry. It's a spice mix primarily based on turmeric. It is sprinkled on top of the sausage and the sauce. Somehow this minor component has become the namesake of the dish.

Wow. I went to Berlin on vacation with family a couple of years ago and we were in a hotel in Prenzlauer Allee. We were walking around one day and came across Konnopke.

If you ask me Ruhrpott Currywurst is the real deal. The sauce is actually a sauce and not just tomato ketchup. I mean, come on, Berlin, you put ketchup on a sausage, sprinkled it with a homeopathic dose of curry powder and claimed to have invented a new dish.
I fell in love with currywurst as I had it for the first time when in Berlin last year. In Swedish, it's called "currywurre" where wurre (or wurre) is local slang for 'hot dog' (taken from the German word "wurst").
Berlin has many types of currywurst, but each area of Germany has different variations. I personally love currywurst and kartoffel salad with loads of sauce in my salad.
I could really go for one right now. The one for me is the one at Haupthbahnhof in Münich. That's where I got my first one when I moved to munich and thats the one I often had on fridays.
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.
My mother, who emigrated from West Berlin to England in the mid fifties, told me how the first time she returned to Berlin she saw currywurst for the first time. Her mother told her that it was a new thing and had come from America. My mother had to enlighten her as to the real origins of curry.
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.
Currywurst originated after the conclusion of the second world war, when the occupying British forces introduced curry to berlin that they had access to from having india as a colony/dominion at that point.
When I was a soldier in Berlin 1975 to 79, we had Tony's Currywurst wagon. It was right outside the front gate to Andrew's Barracks. Tony saved my hungry A-- a bunch of times,when i had weekend C.Q. duty.🙂😄😄😄😄
I remember eating curry wurst first time in Berlin near bahnhof in 2010 i think and i ask they guy in my broken German. What is curry wurst? He said Curry mit bratwurst lol. It taste amazing. Love Deutsch Wurst. Am beste
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.
What is that piece of equipment called that they use to shallow fry the sausages at 0:03? Just a flat top with higher edges? Or is it a special design? Seems different and not familiar to me.
Where do you live? We have half a dozen places I know that have it in Melbourne. What I love about it is that you can actually fins almost any food of any culture here.
Saigon is probably my favorite city when it comes to food, best combination of diversity, affordability and quality, most other places on earth have 1 or 2 but not 3. From the local street seafood scene going from Vietnamese seafood BBQ offerings to super delicious and affordable sushis to the very good french, Italian, Chinese, Korean and Indian (and many more) options through the dizzying array of local street food. Most of the international options are affordable and not just found in high end hotels but on the street or stand alone restaurants because the local population digs it too (its not just for tourists). It's very hard to find a truly low quality offerings because the competition is INTENSE and everyone eats out for lunch, even the cheapest dish has to be great in order to sell.
@@xqero41 Germany would have easily won both world wars if they weren't forced to split their fight between two fronts (East and West). Putting politics aside, 1940s Germany had the most powerful military that the world had ever seen within the past millennium. Just think: it took every English-speaking capitalist country joining forces with a directly opposing ideology (communism) in order to win the war.
I make my own curry wurst and I make it with german potato salad yum, you guys got a great thing going, I wish I could go back to Europe, but I keep my European food in the USA and share. AWESOME job guys, nothing better than European food.
I've been eating fries with mayo my whole life and everybody else was eating it with ketchup so I thought I was weird for that untill I learned that it's common in europe
@@nuclearnadal3116 yeah but the thing is mayo is different here in europe than in US if you get me. Mayo in US is more on the sour side while mayo here in europe is more creamier but i think both works
I had that when I was over there, good stuff, also bratwurst and Bavarian Kraut (the sweet kind). with mustard!! One of My favorite things was the way there was little Cheese stands with so many kinds of Cheese, and Gluhwine!! Not to forget canned Wildschwein
I must admit, I do really like German foods. It's difficult to get the good stuff in my country tho'. I've had friends that popped over to Germany and loved the food. And the Beer and the Wine.
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.
Currywurst ist schon die Nr.1 Ich würde sagen außer in Berlin, gibt es in jedem Imbiss in Deutschland zwei Varianten: - Riesencurrywurst (VW-Style und die ist frittiert) oder - Bratcurry (Bratwurst vom Grill) dazu natürlich Pommes/ Majo. Luvit!
I was fortunate enough to travel to berlin for a week from New Zealand and I could not get enough currywurst just the perfect snack food breakfast lunch and dinner
The secrets of a German Currywurst are: 1. Buy the cheapest sausages available 2. Buy the cheapest ketchup available 3. Buy the cheapest spices available 4. Sell it for 15 times the price you payed for the ingrediences. That are the secret of the German Currywurst
When you’re in Germany, it’s great to have a currywurst the first day. After 3 days you start to wonder if pork is all they eat. After 5 you really want to go home.
Love currywurst. First time I tried it in Berlin the server asked if I wanted it extra spicy. I said sure...it was good, but definitely not that spicy. Someone suggested that was spicy for Germans 🤣
Usually, European people don't eat spicy food. Although there are a few exceptions in balkanic and mediterranean european countries, but it's still not so spicy comparing to chinese, korean, indian or south-east asian, american, african food, etc.
@@happylobsterpatatas Germans don't but we Brits certainly do, it is kind of a rite of passage for young men to order the hottest curry (Vindaloo for example) in the Indian restaurant. Also the Dutch can handle more spice than Germans thanks to Indonesian sambal and Surinamese food.
Currywurst was invented in West Berlin after WW2. A stall owner called Herta traded with the local British soldiers for curry powder and ketchup to spice up the local Bratwurst which were of pretty poor quality just after the war. It caught on and how.. I suspect the Pommes mit Mayo came from Belgium originally, where the locals made Fried egg and chips for the Brit soldiers during the first world war... Never underestimate the culinary culture spreading ability of the drunk squaddie..! I give you Pizza Huts, Timmy Horton's and Kimchee stalls in Afghanistan as current examples..
I can tell that this is very popular from just the "sausage steamers." This is probably their version of the chili dog, just classic and tasty that anyone would eat, even sonic

Living in NYC I've been lucky enough to have currywurst a few times, cant wait to go to Germany one day try it there.
I want 10 of this... NOW!!!! 😋
5:59 that range made me chuckle too 😆
Cool thing to see a shop on RUclips you delivered 500 kg of ketchup to. xD
. . .. 4:04 Aufgrund der Darmknappheit in Ostberlin wurde es dann Curry ohne Darm . . .. 🤣
Wunderbarer Beitrag über meine Heimatstadt. Nachteil: Er macht Appetit...
The French fries with mayo on top look mouthwatering. Wish I could have that through the screen.
What wasn´t mentioned her is, depending on where in germany you get a Currywurst, the Currywurst itself is different.
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.
My mother, who emigrated from West Berlin to England in the mid fifties, told me how the first time she returned to Berlin she saw currywurst for the first time. Her mother told her that it was a new thing and had come from America. My mother had to enlighten her as to the real origins of curry.
Yeah... Glasgow 😉
@@Chimera-zx5ucyeah…no…
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 more like...here you go, there is your curry ketchup with a side of sausage 😅
Mayo with pepper is my favorite on fries. I was skeptical at first but really like it. Not too much mayo
Currywurst originated after the conclusion of the second world war, when the occupying British forces introduced curry to berlin that they had access to from having india as a colony/dominion at that point.
One colony + two colonisers = one blockbuster fusion food. Reminds me of pork vindaloo in Goa.
I say this with love.For a German, that dude is super animated 😂❤❤❤❤
Even in German frying sausage is technical
Ask an Italian about making pizza
When I was a soldier in Berlin 1975 to 79, we had Tony's Currywurst wagon. It was right outside the front gate to Andrew's Barracks. Tony saved my hungry A-- a bunch of times,when i had weekend C.Q. duty.🙂😄😄😄😄
I remember eating curry wurst first time in Berlin near bahnhof in 2010 i think and i ask they guy in my broken German. What is curry wurst? He said Curry mit bratwurst lol. It taste amazing. Love Deutsch Wurst. Am beste
That sausage flipper in the beginning... wow
I loved Currywurst when I lived in Germany.
When I was stationed in Baumholder, this was the go to late night snack!! I miss being there.
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.
What is that piece of equipment called that they use to shallow fry the sausages at 0:03? Just a flat top with higher edges? Or is it a special design? Seems different and not familiar to me.
Most important ingredient is of course curry powder which gives it great taste
Who could have imagined Curry Invading Germany? I love It!
I've had currywurst once in my life, and now that you've reminded me of it I want *more*
But I can't exactly hop over to Berlin for a snack
You could make one yourself at home!?😉
@@DWFood :0
@@DWFood - That sounds like a plan! :-D
You could hop over to Berlin when Germany finally decides to put those prototype teleportation devices we know they have into production.
Where do you live? We have half a dozen places I know that have it in Melbourne.
What I love about it is that you can actually fins almost any food of any culture here.
In Saigon you can find in the Restaurant Gartenstadt the best Curry wurst of SEA. Lecker...
Saigon is probably my favorite city when it comes to food, best combination of diversity, affordability and quality, most other places on earth have 1 or 2 but not 3. From the local street seafood scene going from Vietnamese seafood BBQ offerings to super delicious and affordable sushis to the very good french, Italian, Chinese, Korean and Indian (and many more) options through the dizzying array of local street food.
Most of the international options are affordable and not just found in high end hotels but on the street or stand alone restaurants because the local population digs it too (its not just for tourists).
It's very hard to find a truly low quality offerings because the competition is INTENSE and everyone eats out for lunch, even the cheapest dish has to be great in order to sell.
Wow, sounds epic! Hopefully we can take a trip there soon :)
Germany’s hard to beat when it comes to good basic tasty food.
but easy in world wars
@@xqero41 Read a book or two.
@@xqero41 Germany would have easily won both world wars if they weren't forced to split their fight between two fronts (East and West). Putting politics aside, 1940s Germany had the most powerful military that the world had ever seen within the past millennium. Just think: it took every English-speaking capitalist country joining forces with a directly opposing ideology (communism) in order to win the war.
@@xqero41 easy lol
@@jazzfeline5970 yea bro its a joke
I make my own curry wurst and I make it with german potato salad yum, you guys got a great thing going, I wish I could go back to Europe, but I keep my European food in the USA and share. AWESOME job guys, nothing better than European food.
Big dollop of mayonnaise on the fries, I approve!
Fries with mayo beat fries with ketchup
Gotta love Germany :)
I've been eating fries with mayo my whole life and everybody else was eating it with ketchup so I thought I was weird for that untill I learned that it's common in europe
@@nuclearnadal3116 yeah but the thing is mayo is different here in europe than in US if you get me. Mayo in US is more on the sour side while mayo here in europe is more creamier but i think both works
I had that when I was over there, good stuff, also bratwurst
and Bavarian Kraut (the sweet kind). with mustard!! One of My favorite things was the way there was little Cheese stands with so many kinds of Cheese, and Gluhwine!!
Not to forget canned Wildschwein
I must admit, I do really like German foods. It's difficult to get the good stuff in my country tho'. I've had friends that popped over to Germany and loved the food. And the Beer and the Wine.
What are your favourite German dishes?😋
IM Indonesian. I cant live without currywurst when I was in Hamburg
Damn I miss Germany love the curry wurst pomfritz.
I once had a yellow curry wurst from a street vendor, and I’m on a lifelong quest to find it.
Back in the 80's I'd go to our local schnellimbiss in Bitburg and order this delicious dish.
Would you say that the taste of it has changed over the years? Or is it still the same?
und ein Bit ? ;)
@@rawgab4439 Brinki schmeckt besser :)
So, no mention of the powder that's poured on top? I assume it's curry powder but there's no mention of curry at all. Weird
Im german but cant stop reading the english subtitles lol
Because it’s the best language aha
When I was last in Germany I had one for the first time and I loved it
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.
the currywurst addiction lol i know it all too well :D
Von nichts kommt nichts 😁
Currywurst ist schon die Nr.1
Ich würde sagen außer in Berlin, gibt es in jedem Imbiss in Deutschland zwei Varianten:
- Riesencurrywurst (VW-Style und die ist frittiert) oder
- Bratcurry (Bratwurst vom Grill) dazu natürlich Pommes/ Majo.
Luvit!
If you haven't been to Germany I couldn't reccomend going there enough
I was fortunate enough to travel to berlin for a week from New Zealand and I could not get enough currywurst just the perfect snack food breakfast lunch and dinner
Global Food Diversity is All Kool (and curry hot) with Me
The secrets of a German Currywurst are:
1.
Buy the cheapest sausages available
2.
Buy the cheapest ketchup available
3. Buy the cheapest spices available
4. Sell it for 15 times the price you payed for the ingrediences. That are the secret of the German Currywurst
When you’re in Germany, it’s great to have a currywurst the first day. After 3 days you start to wonder if pork is all they eat. After 5 you really want to go home.
It's pretty much the same in the Netherlands...
There are so many vegan/vegetarian and halal (beef) options...
I was a summer exchange student in Berlin. I really enjoyed eating a good "Bockwurst mit Curry", or Currywurst.
Love currywurst. First time I tried it in Berlin the server asked if I wanted it extra spicy. I said sure...it was good, but definitely not that spicy. Someone suggested that was spicy for Germans 🤣
Usually, European people don't eat spicy food. Although there are a few exceptions in balkanic and mediterranean european countries, but it's still not so spicy comparing to chinese, korean, indian or south-east asian, american, african food, etc.
@@happylobsterpatatas Germans don't but we Brits certainly do, it is kind of a rite of passage for young men to order the hottest curry (Vindaloo for example) in the Indian restaurant. Also the Dutch can handle more spice than Germans thanks to Indonesian sambal and Surinamese food.
@@happylobsterpatatas never heard of american spicy food
@@byjynydjshsnny2430 Plenty of american southwestern food aswell as american creole/louisiana cuisine; and other southern dishes.
Currywurst was invented in West Berlin after WW2. A stall owner called Herta traded with the local British soldiers for curry powder and ketchup to spice up the local Bratwurst which were of pretty poor quality just after the war. It caught on and how..
I suspect the Pommes mit Mayo came from Belgium originally, where the locals made Fried egg and chips for the Brit soldiers during the first world war...
Never underestimate the culinary culture spreading ability of the drunk squaddie..! I give you Pizza Huts, Timmy Horton's and Kimchee stalls in Afghanistan as current examples..
I can tell that this is very popular from just the "sausage steamers." This is probably their version of the chili dog, just classic and tasty that anyone would eat, even sonic
Now you've got me hungry for a chili dog lol
I love the Germans enthusiasm for currywurst.
