Volkswagen Currywurst
- tcoff91 6y agoWow, I wish I could satisfy my currywust craving now. I ate a ton of it on my short trip to Berlin. Delicious!
- groby_b 6y agoYou could, depending on where you live :) (The Bay Area has at least one German butcher)
- Torwald 6y agogo to Indian cornershop and buy roasted curry powder, mix with ketchup, that gets you the sauce. experiment a bit.
- tbyehl 6y agoTo my taste buds and memories, the Costco / Kirkland Beef Dinner Franks make for a reasonable approximation of what I was accustomed to eating in Germany. I cut a cross-hatch pattern on top, warm up some ketchup, sprinkle on some curry powder. Geschmeckt!
- imadethis 6y agoHa, I drive a VW. Next time I'm at the dealership I should swing by the parts department and see if I can get it delivered to the US. Gotta get the ketchup and plate too.
- wolfgang42 6y agoAlas! > The product is sold in 11 countries but is not available in the United States due to its rules on the import of uncooked meat. But, there is still hope that they might make it available again: > In the past Volkswagen has sent a team of chefs to the United States to replicate the product with locally sourced ingredients.
- Hupriene 6y agoReminds me of Maytag Blue Cheese. Are there other food products out there from surprising brands?
- thombat 6y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maytag_Blue_cheese https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maytag_Blue_cheese Complete with patent-dickery: "During the Second World War, [the] university patented the homogenisation of cheese milk and attempted to have charges levied on Danish cheese produced using homogenised milk. Their attempts failed, as it could be proved that this method had been introduced 20 years earlier in Denmark by Marius Boe."
- bfirsh 6y agohttps://us.peugeot-saveurs.com/en_us/pepper-mills https://us.peugeot-saveurs.com/en_us/pepper-mills Peugeot, the car company, invented the pepper grinder and still makes them. They started making pepper grinders before they made cars though, so perhaps you could argue they're a kitchen tools company that also makes cars.

- Havoc 6y agoI love the fact that external profits subsidise the staff meals. Very wholesome setup
- anamexis 6y agoI'm disappointed that the main Volkswagen article doesn't say "Volkswagen is a German car and sausage manufacturer..."
- gwittel 6y agoI went to the Wolfsburg Autostadt and took a tour at the factory next door a year ago (https://www.autostadt.de https://www.autostadt.de). It was a great tour. The guide was making jokes about the currywurst. I didn't realize he was serious. I guess I could have had some at the museum. Its a highly automated factory so it was very interesting to see work done (or not done) by machines. If you're in the area, its well worth the visit. The auto museum is a huge complex next to the factory; its not just VW stuff.
