For my second blog I decided to discuss curry wurst, my opinion on trying it in class, and how it has been copied and used for inspiration all across the world. Curried sausage is a main entree in many areas of Germany and surrounding countries. It is an extremely simple recipe, made mostly with tomato sauce and curry. Sausage or bratwurst is a very popular food in a lot of Eastern Europe and after getting the opportunity to taste it in class, I can confidently say I know why it is so cherished. The flavors send off and envelope a room with a beautiful aroma that reminds you of your mom’s home cooking. The creation of the dish dates back to 1949 when Herta Heuwer decided to for-go using the common ingredient, mustard, and instead used only the ingredients she had on hand. The simplicity of this dish, with there only being a few main ingredients, made it extremely popular in german culture, especially among people with limited resources or time. Sausage is an easy and cheap source of a delicious meal and because of this, Curry wurst became the most popular street food in all of Germany for some time. To me, and germans all across the world, curry wurst gives the sense of home. A beautifully simple dish with options to change it up based on your own taste or available resources to you and your family. German sausage carts are seen all around the world today, and almost always include the famous curry wurst dish. A favorite of mine is the Afghan and german sausage cart located in Kersey Square down town. I have tried a few different menu item’s there and everything has absolutely held up to the hype. I can’t wait to try curry wurst there and hopefully, all around the world some day.
