Spice level warning — Currywurst is not what I expected
I underestimated Currywurst. The hearty and deeply savoury description didn't prepare me for the reality. mustard brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.
German bread culture is extraordinarily diverse with over 300 officially registered varieties. The a Sunday family roast lunch setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. schnapps after the meal cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
