CURRYWURST

Where to Eat It: Berlin

Currywurst has only been around since 1949, but it’s become an icon of popular German culture in the decades since. This hearty street food combines a steamed-then-fried pork sausage with ketchup and curry powder, all of which is typically served with French fries or bread. Currywurst is served across Germany—an estimated 800 million currywursts are consumed in the country every year—but it’s particular popular in Hamburg and Berlin. Typically, the sausage is served whole, but some places serve it pre-sliced.
