There is no doubt, that this particular sausage is very popular in Germany. The Currywurst Sauce recipe was probably invented in Berlin by Herta Heuwer. However there are also two other names that are apparently connected to German Currywurst Sauce: Lena Brücker and Waltraud Ziervogel. Which of those three ladies has actually invented the German Currywurst Sauce is veiled in secrecy. But because Berlin dos not really have many traditional dishes, let’s give the Currywurst Sauce to them:) (Just kidding) (Or not!:)) While searching for the perfect German Currywurst Sauce recipe I tried to find one based on tomato puree, rather than ketchup. There are few reasons for that. First of all I prefer cooking with raw ingredients, rather than using processed food (ketchup). And lastly, ketchup taste vary a lot from manufacturer to manufacturer therefore you might get a sauce that tastes completely different to the one I make. I really wanted to avoid that. I hope that you will enjoy this recipe when you are back at home and that is will remind you, how good the German Street Food is!
