Where to try it: Join the snaking queue for a classic Currywurst at curb-side Curry 36 on Mehringdamm, which has been frying ‘em up since 1981 and also knocks out veggie and organic versions. Sliced into bite-sized pieces, swimming in sauce and dusted with curry powder, this is now a cult snack, served ‘ mit’ or ‘ ohne’ (with or without) its crunchy casing, often with a side of mayo-doused Pommes (fries). You’ll find this smoky, mildly spicy street snack all over Germany, but it was born in Berlin in 1949 when a bored Imbiss (fast-food kiosk) owner called Herta Heuwer decided to go wild and add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and a dash of curry powder to her bratwurst. Munch a Currywurst in BerlinĬurried sausage? You bet. Loosen a belt notch and read on for our favorite food experiences in Germany. Pretty much every town has a Bauernmarkt (farmers market) and Biomarkt (organic supermarket), where you can pick up picnic fixings, from local fruit and veg to cheese, wurst, fish and home-grown wine. And long before local sourcing became a buzzword, the Germans had embraced the joys of regional organic produce. While those good old-fashioned beer hall classics never go out of fashion, you’re now just as likely to find street food riffing creatively on world flavors and chefs shooting for Michelin stars with ingenious takes on vegetarian and vegan ingredients that sing of the seasons.
