I went down that rabbit hole a few months ago only to discover Herta Heuwer never revealed her recipe so it died with her.

Ser gut!
Sehr*
Also damn OP, I was already hungry now I'm salivating. This post should be tagged NSFW 🥵
I have failed.
I spent years of my life taking German classes and came away with only a basic proficiency. The least I can do is correct people's spelling on the internet to convince myself it was worthwhile. And also struggle/pretend to understand German memes 😅
Das ist okay. Wir leben um zu lernen.

The sausage is branded as a Volkswagen Originalteil "Volkswagen Original Part" under part number 199 398 500 A. Volkswagen also makes a ketchup, Volkswagen Originalteil 199 398 500 B, to accompany the currywurst — slightly more viscous than traditional ketchup.
I had no idea curry ketchup is a thing. Is it sweet like American ketchup?
Its a little sweet, but I find it to be more savory than anything else. It's fucking good too.
Well, that was all I needed to hear lol. I'll look for some next time I go to the city for groceries. Thanks!
Add garam masala to American ketchup and you're very very close. Currywurst is one of my favorite treats, between that and Handkäse or Döner.
Oh! I have plenty of that spice blend! Thank you very much for the tip! I will totally make my own now
It can be sweet. I've heard of people adding honey. To me it doesn't need to be super sweet
I need to find out if my local BMW dealership can get that in by part number.
Obligatory hint to the hymn on Currywurst by Herbert Grönemeyer.

I'm willing to listen...
I thought that was pasta in the thumbnail. Curry and pasta is extremely good.
