From Merlin in Lübeck, which is some of the best fast food you can get anywhere. Part of our huge meal that included currywurst, a big hot dog, a hamburger, and a salad. Unfortunately, we were too full to eat the salad.
This picture was taken during a videoshot for Cologne's well known party band "Kolibris" and their new single. The "Ludolf" brothers (known in Germany for their famous TV show) appeared as special guests.
My son Martin co-produced, -composed and -wrote the new single "Pizza Döner Currywurst" which is hopefully going to rev up during the next carneval / après ski season.
Nice comments on youtube and/or facebook are very welcome!

"Currywurst" is a grilled sausage in a slightly spicy sauce made of tomato ketchup and curry. This sausage has been around in Germany since the late 1940s and there are several legends describing its origin. Currywurst is the culinary staple that holds Germany together
Currywurst
Currywurst (German pronunciation: [ˈkœʁiˌvʊʁst]) is a fast-food dish of German origin consisting of hot pork sausage (German: Wurst) cut into slices and seasoned with curry sauce (regularly consisting of ketchup or tomato paste blended with curry) and generous amounts of curry powder, or a ready-made ketchup-based sauce seasoned with curry and other spices. It is frequently served at German 'Imbissbuden' and from food trucks.
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.[1] 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 where it became popular with construction workers rebuilding the devastated city. She patented her sauce, called Chillup, in 1951. At its height the stand was selling 10,000 servings per week. She later opened a small restaurant which operated until 1974.
Today, currywurst is often sold as a take-out/take-away food, Schnellimbisse (snacks), at diners or "greasy spoons," on children's menus in restaurants, or as a street food. Usually served with french fries or bread rolls (brötchen), it is popular all over Germany but particularly popular in the metropolitan areas of Berlin, Hamburg and the Ruhr Area. Considerable variation both in the type of sausage used and the ingredients of the sauce occurs between these areas. Common variations include the addition of paprika or chopped onions. Often currywurst is sold in food booths, sometimes using a special machine to slice it into pieces, and served on a paper plate with a little wooden or plastic fork. It is also sold as a supermarket-shelf product to prepare at home.
An estimated 800 million servings are sold in Germany each year.

Eine derart zubereitete Currywurst hat gleich mehrere Vorteile:
- sie brät besser durch,
- man kann sie besser würzen und
- man kann sie auch besser schneiden.
So bestellt und gegessen in der Hausbier-Brauerei Boente, Recklinghausen.

Currywurst (curried sausage) is as much a part of Berlin as the Brandenburger Tor. Traditional and unconventional at the same time, it is the culinary emblem of Germany's capital city.
No German national dish inspires as many stories, preferences and celebrity connoisseurs as this one does. Deutsches Currywurst Museum in Berlin is dedicated to the curried sausage, its friends and fans, the legends and stories coming along with it: in a unique exhibition designed as a special event in itself.
Currywurst is a grilled or fried pork sausage, cut into slices, then seasoned with curry ketchup. Guten appetit!
A big first day in Berlin, so we had to try the fast food with cult status Currywurst. I wasn't drunk eating this, I think you need to be. This was Konnope's Imbiss in Prenzlauer Berg, apparently one of the best of the wurst (ho ho ho) in town. It's basically t-sauce from a a bottle on some sausage with curry powder sprinkled over the top. Tastes pretty good though.
