Germans celebrated 70 years of the currywurst, a Berlin speciality of sliced sausage smothered in curry powder and ketchup
BERLIN - Germans celebrated on Wednesday 70 years of the currywurst, a Berlin speciality of sliced sausage smothered in curry powder and ketchup, as they celebrated its national day.
With annual consumption estimated to be more than 800 million sausages, currywurst stands are ubiquitous in the German capital and the dish counts former German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder among its biggest fans. The currywurst took off soon after the end of World War Two when food was scarce and Berliners were working hard to rebuild the devastated capital.
With a handful of rival claims, the origin of the dish is not undisputed and the currywurst is just as popular in the formerly Communist east of the city.
