One of the things we enjoyed during our trip to Europe last year was currywurst. It sounds simple enough – combine some spicy British-style curry with a bratwurst sausage, serve with some bread to sop up the curry, instant hit. I first tried it after drinking too much wine at a nice restaurant in Zurich and then convincing Kuniko to run down to the corner from our hotel and buying some for us to try. Like the super-wife that she is, she scored some and we shared it in our hotel. We tried it again in a sober state, and it was just as good, so I’m always on the lookout.
Last night I was running some errands in Kobe and walked by the currywurst shop in Motomachi. I stopped in to get some for dinner, but the place was packed with people. Too bad it is too cold these days to eat outside. Hopefully I’ll get another chance to eat there soon, or else I’ll try to recreate the taste here at home.
