Currywurst is the mother of all German fast-food. Invented in Germany, it consists of grilled sausage seasoned with a hot curry sauce. It is frequently served at German snack bars. In Bielefeld, there are several snack bars downtown where you can taste a Currywurst. Insider’s tip: The Currywurst turret in the heart of Bielefeld city is where you can order the basic pork sausage. Like it spicy? You can order a hot Currywurst which is then served with slices of fresh hot pepper. The Currywurst turret is a typical German takeaway where the people eat their sausages while standing.
