The Capital's Culinary Pride: The Currywurst

The Currywurst is Germany's most popular dish and was first sold in Berlin in 1949, as the first boiled sausage with a special sauce, containing tomato paste and ketchup, curry and other secret ingredients, as Mrs. Heuwer recalls.

Currywurst is the culinary pride of Berlin and beloved by its citizens. It is a pork sausage, normally served in slices, covered in a spiced ketchup. The sauces vary from place to place. In some the ketchup is blended with spices, in others the spices are sprinkled over the ketchup.

The invention of currywurst is attributed to Herta Heuwer in Berlin in 1949 after she obtained ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and curry powder from British soldiers. She mixed these ingredients with other spices and poured it over grilled pork sausage.

Heuwer started selling the cheap but filling snack at a street stand in the Charlottenburg district of Berlin where it became popular with construction workers rebuilding the devastated city.
