Currywurst – Berlin, Germany
Another sausage treat that has reached world-wide popularity is currywurst, which was invented in Berlin. It was first made by a German woman named Herta Heuwer, who traded some booze to American soldiers in exchange for ketchup. She served regular German sausages and French fries with ketchup, sprinkled the whole thing with curry powder, and a legend was born. Even though Heuwer’s version is considered the original, there’s no one recipe for currywurst — most restaurants and food trucks make it with their own secret blend of spices. It’s the perfect late-night treat to help fill your belly at the end of a long night of bar-hopping.
