THE ORIGINAL
BIRMINGHAM
CURRYWURST
The Currywurst was created in 2019, and we are the original Birmingham-based providers of authentic German Currywurst! Once the kids were out of nappies, and into school, I decided it was the perfect time to take the plunge and start my own street food cafe!
My roots derive from the original home of German sausage, Frankfurt, as well as the smaller city of Saarbrücken, a small French influenced town, with a known passion for Currywurst and summer BBQ traditions. I first collaborated with a butcher in Germany to teach me the sausage making trade. Having years of experience in catering and events management, it was time to be brave and open my own business.
ABOUT THE DISH
The currywurst's origins are attributed specifically to the German capital. In 1949, a resourceful German housewife traded some spirits with British soldiers for ketchup and curry powder.
The trade created the first iteration of the dish, and the rest was history! An odd and unforeseen match, currywurst became an overnight success and eventually a staple of German street food.
