    This is why they should have been wiped off the map after WW1.

    Have a read of Die Entdeckung der Currywurst to get the history... Hamburg or Berlin, always makes a good argument

    It was also adapted to a movie which is OKish

    Tried it over there once, didn’t like it. The middle eastern places in the underground that do chips in kebab meat are nicer and they have great thin sausage rolls with different fillings.

    Love currywurst. Had my first one in Cologne back in the 1990s.

    But then, I love bratwurst and German food generally. Unpretentious, hearty and filling.

    Tasty.

    Not a patch on the best Wurst in that country though, the wonderful Thüringer Rostbratwürst. Has European protected designation status.

    Indeed!
    I'll be in Berlin and Thuringia in a couple of weeks and I threatened my friends that I will gorge on Thüringer Rostbratwurst (discarding all my vegetarian principles), 'cause it's simply the best.

    As with Berliner Currywurst don't judge the real thing by that imitation stuff they sell in Lidl's.

    No not the worst curry you've ever had, but the Germany delicacy of sausage covered in curry powder and ketchup served with some pomme frittes covered in mayo.

    Currywurst is the worst version of curry you can get. Too much tomato, not enough curry. A good sausage ruined...

    I was vegan before I lived in Germany. I blame Ze Lad tempting me with his delicious home cooking and meaty dishes.

    Best people in Germany are in the East IMO-not just saying that because my guy is from there either... no ok I totally am. :D

    They don't take themselves too seriously, honest, sincere, hard working and they have the best sense of humour. Sad that more people don't visit there as it's stunningly beautiful. The Thuringian forest is a jewel.

    Love Berlin too, great city.
    Enjoy your visit and food. Oh and if you haven't tried them already and you like cakes buy some of the locally made cakes from the small bakeries in Thuringia...they're amazing and not too sweet! far nicer than anything in the West because they're not from the big chains and made with love and pride by Mom and Pop businesses. Plum, and poppy seed slices are so delicious.

    German beer is the best in the world.
    Their food just accompanies it perfectly.
    I got served dinner in a frying pan once...

    Can't stand currywurst. The sauce is weirdly sweet and there's way too much of it in proprtion to the sausage. Don't like their pork sausages either, just very bland. Most quick German takeaway fold is like that, though. Either very saucy, very sweet or tastes like nothing.

    Some of their more traditional sausages are far better. I love the Krakauer and the Rindfleishwurst. And Flammkuchen is amazing. Better than pizza.

    But you said it was a Germany delicacy. You may be thinking of goulash ?
