Food Currywurst

1. Start by sauteing diced onion in the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the onion bits are translucent and soft add minced garlic and yellow curry powder and cook for about a minute.
2. Add the organic ketchup, mix well and cook for another couple of minutes, on medium-low.
3. After a few minutes add vinegar, Worcestershire, sugar, salt, paprika and mustard. Mix and simmer for awhile longer until the sauce thickens.
4. Remove the sauce pan from the heat and blend.

Currywurst Germany’s most popular street food. It originated in Berlin as a fast snack (*Schnellimbiss*) and eventually spread to other cities.

Nearly a billion currywursts are sold annually throughout the country at venues such as *Imbissbuden* (concession stands), *Biergärten* and increasingly more often at sit-down restaurants.

Easter

Easter is the single most important holy day throughout Christianity.

It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ — a central belief for Christians worldwide and the focal point of their faith. Religious scholars believe the event occurred three days after the Romans crucified Jesus in roughly 30 AD. Christians therefore derive hope that they too will experience a resurrection in heaven.

Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after Marc*Easter customs.Easter, like Christmas, has accumulated a great many traditions, some of which have little to do with the Christian celebration of the Resurrection but derive from folk customs. The custom of the Easter lamb appropriates both the appellation used for Jesus in Scripture (“behold the lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world,” John 1:29) and the lamb’s role as a sacrificial animal in ancient Israel. In antiquity Christians placed lamb meat under the altar, had it blessed, and then ate it on Easter. Since the 12th century the Lenten fast has ended on Easter with meals including eggs, ham, cheeses, bread, and sweets that have been blessed for the occasion.*
