Berlin Currywurst Museum
5
million euros for a hot dog museum????
If everything goes according to plan, Berlin will open up the world’s first currywurst museum in autumn of this year.
Investing 5 million euros to showcase a skinless pork sausage might seem a bit excessive to some, but the currywurst is to Berlin as the hot dog is to America—except fattier, greasier, and unhealthier (and that’s hard to do). I can just taste all that sizzling fat and curry-delicious topping merely thinking about it. Mmmmm…
It is widely believed that this cult-status finger-food was invented on September 4, 1949 by Berliner Herta Heuwer and, in very Germanic fashion, patented under number 721319. Although some controversy exists over who the true “inventor” of this greasy morsel really is, Berliners have claimed their town as the skinless wiener’s genuine birthplace, and now have a museum to prove it.
