Talk:Currywurst

message: 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)

message: Hi. The recent edit changing the description, in the lead, from "German national dish" to "popular Berlin dish" has made the article internally inconsistent, since there are about five other places in the article which either support the idea "German national dish" or refer to it as such directly. I would have thought that, to make this change stick, the article would need a rewrite to correct the inconsistency and, more importantly, the proposed correction would need discussing here, or some verifiable references to support this quite major change. So for now I am reverting the change in the hope of seeing these references and discussion. Thanks and best wishes, DBaK (talk) 19:25, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite on the contrary. Calling this a "German national dish" needs a direct citation. Something better than a BBC or NYT allegation. So far, it's a mere assumption. As is "popular Berlin dish". I'll edit the article with something that is less assumptuous for the time being until I (or anyone) comes up with a decent source. German media would at least be better than foreign press hype. It's nice that the curator thinks it's a national dish. Doesn't make it such. Doesn't make it not so, too, but really, isn't it a bit much to declare a "German national dish" on one man's opinion? Background - he pushed for the museum. It's basically his baby.

replies: text: Anecdotally, I would mention that it is fairly popular throughout Germany. It is more popular though in Northern Germany. That is a pretty general thing though in Germany, taste differs significantly from north to south. The version in Ruhr is different than the one in Berlin though from what I understand. I haven't eaten it before, though, so I really have no idea. I think I remember this stuff from the TV show Galileo.--75.80.43.80 (talk) 18:47, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Not that I'm an expert, but I've definitely had Currywurst in Cologne, Berlin and Leipzig. More importantly, BBC and NYT are not only good sources, they're among the best, and should not ever be lightly discounted. Oreo Priest talk 15:30, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

text: As I remember it from my childhood and youth in south western Germany, it was one of the most common fast food dishes until the early or mid-1990ies. Small fast food stands sold it in every town, every public swimming pool, along major roads, commercial and industrial areas as a quick lunch for the workers/employees... Then came Döner Kebap and the international fast food chains and took a big bite out of the Bratwurst's monopoly, so to say. -- Seelefant (talk) 10:20, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Volkswagen does not only produce the sausages but also the curry ketchup and sells it as an "original VW part" with it's own original part number (in german "Teile Nummer"), the TN 199 398 500 B which is btw one of the most sold "parts" in the history of this company  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.56.67.148 (talk) 06:16, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
