 Currywurst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Currywurst is a typical German take-away dish, a hot pork sausage cut into slices and seasoned with ketchup and generous amounts of curry powder, or a ready-made ketchup-based sauce seasoned with curry and other spices.
Currywurst is almost exclusively sold in Schnellimbiß, take-away diners "greasy-spoon" or hot-dog stall type places, never in restaurants.
Usually served with French fries or bread rolls, it is particularly popular in the metropolitan areas of the Ruhr Area, Berlin, and Hamburg.

 The Wurst museum in the world? : HTTabloid.com
A museum devoted to curry-flavored sausage, a popular snack known to Germans as currywurst, is set to open early next year in Berlin, the head of the museum said on Thursday.
It was in 1949, in the post-World War II ruins of western Berlin's Charlottenburg district, that snack stand owner Herta Heuwer first sold her patented curry sausages.
The delicacy is typically served smothered in ketchup dusted with curry powder and sliced into bite-sized chunks that are eaten with a wooden or plastic fork.

The museum will trace the history of currywurst from its invention in 1949 by snack stand owner Herta Heuwer through the arrival of the competing Turkish doener in the early 1970s up to the present day.
The dish — pork sausage sprinkled with curry powder and doused in spicy tomato ketchup — has grown from its humble roots in Berlin’s western Charlottenburg district to become a beloved fixture at fast food stands and workplace cafeterias across the country.
With German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and singer Madonna among high-profile currywurst fans, opening a museum devoted to the ubiquitous snack was a no-brainer, said Brigit Breloh, who will head the planned institution.

In Die Entdeckung der Currywurst, food is the impetus to trace history - personal history as well as the history of postwar Germany.
People modify and adapt recipes; they add, subtract, and substitute ingredients; they combine ingredients in new ways, which might lead to the claim of having invented a new recipe, but they always base their modifications on existing recipes.
In a socio-political treatise which otherwise has little to do with food, Cem Özdemir uses "Currywurst und Döner" as a symbol for integration in Germany.[1] Of course Özdemir is not the first person to use food metaphors while talking about multiculturalism, other terms which immediately come to mind are melting pot and salad bowl.

 A Prairie Home Companion from American Public Media
One thing that must not be missed in Berlin is Currywurst: a grilled sausage (pleasantly greasy), burried in a warm sauce that looks like ketchup but has a nice tangy flavor: hints of vinegar (no balsamico) and lots of curry powder, which is also dusted over the whole concoction in generous amounts.
Ideally, the Currywurst is cut into pieces and eaten with a little wooden fork.
They have little machines to cut the sausage, the kind you wish you'd had when you were canning string beans many summers ago, but back then you had to use a knife and after the first bushel you'd stop counting the cuts on your thumb.
