Talk:Currywurst

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I come from Northern Germany and I have never seen a currywurst with a boiled sausage.

I am from northern Germany as well, but I have eaten a boiled currywurst once - in Würzburg, Franconia. It was disgusting, but it seems to be not that uncommon in southern Germany.

Okay guys. I am from the south of Germany and I know both types of currywurst, made with a boiled sausage or with an grilled (red or white) sausage -- Christian R. 11:13, 12. Sept. 2006 (CEST)

I'm not entirely certain, but the external link to http://www.currybu.de/ leads to a website which may be nationalistic and anti-immigrant. The anti-Döner messages present on the page are very similar to anti-Turkish propoganda which circulates in neo-Nazi circles. Maybe it should be removed. --Marc K 15 Oct 2006.

This looks more like satire; it is certainly not nationalistic. --Schuetzm 14:43, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What is mixed?

In the image, the curry is added after the sausage and the ketchup is mixed. Is this always the case, or is the curry sometimes mixed with the sausage and ketchup? --Kasper Hviid 10:16, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

it's no regular ketchup, it's curry sauce (which normally consists of curry and... ketchup). so this needs to be fixed in the article.

about the curry powder: As mentioned in my first sentence, the curry isn't sometimes mixed with the ketchup, but always. The additional curry powder is also always added to the dish.--BSI 15:03, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ties to Southern cuisine?

I have no idea of the veracity of this, but I definitely remember being fed as a child, hot dogs sliced up in ketchup. That'd be an extremely rough approximation of currywurst, but from what I understand it's a fairly common thing to make as a children's quick&dirty meal in the American south. (However, my grandfather as also stationed in Germany after WWII and raised part of the family overseas, and that could also be where it was picked up) --Mfree 16:04, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
