Fucks me up as a German, too. Globalization gave us all kinds of tasty spices, but go to any public event and you'd be convinced our greatest culinary achievement is sausage with tomato ketchup and curry powder.

British invention anyway. Curry powder from the British occupying forces in Berlin.

Gern gesehen.

But "Currywurst" (curry sausage) was invented in Berlin. Indian wouldn't use curry powder without vegetables in this way, or currypower at all (correct me if I'm wrong)

Did you read the entire sentence "the British occupying forces in Berlin"

British. In Berlin.

Who do you think had lots of curry powder?

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Curry powder is a British invention, Currywurst is German, only possible with the British but still a German invention

I understand that's what people need to believe.
