Currywurst

There's a French market in town today. In this French market there's a German sausage stand. (No, I don't know why, either.) At this German sausage stand I stopped and bought some Currywurst.

Currywurst is Bratwurst (pork and herb sausage) with warm curry sauce poured and curry powder sprinkled over it. I did spend two months living in Germany a few years ago, but for some reason never got round to trying it then.

It's just the thing for a snowy day. It's a bit difficult to eat when you're carrying two carrier bags, plus stick, plus rucksack, mind. I had to stop and put all my accoutrements on a bench while I ate it (the Currywurst, not the bench). Happily, the chap at the stall gave me a paper napkin and a little wooden fork, otherwise I'd have got very sticky.

The sauce is just pleasantly spicy - not blow-your-head-off hot, but with enough of a kick to make sure you know you've eaten it. It was a little too glutinous and sweet for my taste, but nice enough.

OM NOM NOM Would eat again.
