Good afternoon,
I am from Hessen (country side) a place of the "Brat Curry", but we moved closer to Frankfurt / Main when I got older.
Frankfurt, as a modern multicultural city choices were available at those "Schnellimbisse". So, customers could / can order either a "Brat Curry" or a "Rinds Curry".
A few years ago I went to Köln to visit the Photokina. Arriving early evening at the Hotel (just beside the train station) I thought that I get something to eat before I retire early to be fit for the fair the next day.
So off I went and ended up in the train station. There was a huge "Schellimbiss" with many customers. I thought that is a good sign and went for a "Currywurst" (I can't get them in Ireland and I missed them a wee bit). I ordered a "Brat Curry" as I would have done in Frankfurt - big mistake. I ended up in a 15 minute conversation with the Schnellimbiss owner about the fact that a "Currywurst" has to be from Rindswurst, (have I said that it was a nice civilized conversation - even if the subject was so important
).
At the end I tried a "Rinds Curry" (he had no Brat Curry on offer anyway). As it turned out the two (I had to have a second one to ensure that my first impression was correct
) were actually very nice. Really.
But for the protocol, a Curry Wurst has to be a "Brat Curry".
.
Whenever you are in Germany give it a try - a good "Brat Curry" (and one is open minded) even a "Rinds Curry" can be delicious if you get a good Schnellimpbiss.
Regards,
Eberhard
