Was ist currywurst, you ask? And what is the secret of its success here in Berlin? Beats me. Just look at this ridiculous recipe:
Take 2 tablespoons of ketchup and mix it up with teaspoon of curry powder. Serve it over one cooked hot dog cut into sections (on wax paper), sprinkled with curry powder and paprika. Add a portion of French fries and a Brötchen (roll). And a Bier.
No, make that two Bier(s), please.
Huh? That's it? Well, no, not really. Every curry tastes different and every Currywurst aficionado experiments with his or her own particular curry mixes and additional secret sauce and spicing combinations. But the secret will remain unfathomable to you unless you actually go out there and try an original. And if you want the original, don't hesitate to try out Krasselt's, Steglitzer Damm 22, Berlin Steglitz.
Krasselt's claims to serve the best Currywurst in town. I can't say that it does, but I can say that it's the best I've ever had. And the place must have something going for it being that it's been in business for over forty-five years now. Its secret recipe includes, among other things, sweet red peppers, Worcester sauce and homemade ketchup. But they won't go into detail, of course. This stuff really is something to rave about. There's always a line here, but you never have to wait long. And they usually stay open until midnight, too. Don't miss it.
