Curried bratwurst was invented by an enterprising German woman in the early days after WWII. There were Indian troops stationed in the British zone who had curry with them. Sausage meat was very poor quality at the time and she added the curry to the sausages to add a bit of much needed flavour. It was a huge success for the hungry German survivors and the rest is history as they say.

Hi Gareth. Before covid struck ,I was a continental coach driver . This brings back very happy memories of my frequent trips to Germany. I loved the bratties and the curry wurst. Thanks for an excellent review. Sadly I can no longer eat them because of the amount of salt.

I've now tried half a jar of the Wikinger Currywurst Spicy and it was delicious for supper. I did some fried potatoes to go with. Half a jar is ample for one meal for one person. I shall eat the other half on Saturday.

Schnelly vans weren't allowed at my regiment, so we used to drive into the local village for a schnelly. I always preferred a normal bratty with frites and mayo, rather than a currywurst. Of course, our German civilian friends had no idea what a schnelly was, until we explained it as a Brit abbreviation. Aldi used to sell really brilliant brattys on the cold counter, but some years ago changed brands and they were never as good as the old ones: but still tasty. Lidl also sell some tasty ones.

I can’t help thinking adding a small can of baked beans along with the sausage would be a food revolution!

Locust bean gum is a galactomannan vegetable gum extracted from the seeds of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) and used as a thickening agent

When I was in the army in Germany in the late 70's the bratworst or brockworst wasn't chopped up & the sauce was really nice there was no putting curry powder on it. I really liked them, they would come with a bit of dry thick bread. Great video mate.

Oh .... huh, I used to make something like this back when I was skint. I'd make a meal with a tin of beans, curry powder, and chopped up hotdogs and have it on chips. I remember those German fast food vans! When I was 9 in the 1970s. I stayed at my brothers at RAF monchengladbach, they'd routinely come on base and sell icecream from the back of a hatchback car, or these vans would sell you a skewer with a mixture of veg and horsemeat slathered in a rich brown sauce.

We were based in bruggun but lived Holland. Used to love frikadeller, chips and mayo. Loved a bratwurst to but the curry sauce always brings back memories from living there

Would never have bought them but when you see it warmed up and maybe with some nice mash potatoes, I could definitely give them a go.

Love bratties when I was in Munster ate thousands of them and still get them from Aldi and Lidl. Currywurst mit pomme frites bitte 🍴🤩

German food is so under rated. Always a must have, a curry wurst when I went to RAFG

I was a bit sceptical at first but they looked OK and reasonable value!

"my wife went out shopping the other day" sounds like the start of a good joke

It’s what you expect for £1.69 it’s not going to be the best Curry like M&S quality but for £1.69 this is definitely something im going to pick up today from B&M and I do like the fact it’s not stupidly and inedibly spicy but half you enjoyed it Gaz and compliments to the shopper

Happy to see you endured no long term after effects from ghost pepper. Maybe keep yogurt on the side or cucumber slices (or of course cucumber in yogurt or mint....) Thank you for reviewing these I think husband will like them as an easy dinner with rice or naan or his preference Chips. We don't get the good continental meats we used to... We miss frikadellen much better than our burgers.... Hope you have a good new year and 2024 is great for all of you xxx

😂 " I'll put my eyeballs 👀 back in..." Cracked me up!! 😂😅

Hi Gareth, glad you’re OK after the ghost pepper sauce episode mate. They look good value and I’m sure on a winter’s day with a few slices of holy ghost they’d be bang on! 👍🏼💜

I so wanted to try these. Glad you did. Yes reminds me of Germany back in the day. Great show Gareth. Happy New Year to you and your family

I like normal Bratwurst and Doner Kebabs in Germany. The food is really high standard there.

Great review Gareth , loved the bratties and frites in Germany also. Will give these a go when I am in B and M next 😀

If I was dr who I would go back to Germany every weekend greatest days of my life people here don’t realise that German food tastes so good and the beer selection from even the smaller breweries tasted great how I made it on the parade ground after a weekend on the beer and bratwurst I’ll never know thanks for reminding me of my army days

Hi Gareth, good to see you back at it, mate. After your illness, 7 out of 10 are not bad for the price! Personally, I buy my German sausage from the sausage man online, especially the WV Currywurst ones they do Frikadellen and Schnitzel, too. Might be worth a review! Happy New Year to you and all your girls 😊

Strange that I happened to go to B&M yesterday for the first time in months. I wanted a 2m extension lead with 4 sockets. It was a pound cheaper than Tesco. And now you tell me about these German Currywürste! Well, probably not as good as a Currywurst in Germany, but likely still tasty anyway. I would go for the spicy one as well. And now the doctor has given me the okay to resume driving, I'm going to get a jar next Tuesday. The way you prepared these two jars was ideal. Either version would go wonderfully with chips or hash browns. The only difference with Tuesday shopping in future is no more Sausage and Egg McMuffin on my way to the shops! 🤔

Oh! great memories there from Germany! ATB and have a great new year!

🎵 The Red Spatula & The Blue Spatula had a race !! 🎵

Both are on the list for the new year. Great review as always. 👍 All the best to you and yours.😊

Great review Gaz they needed your chilli sauce on to spice them up a bit And a happy new year to you and your family 👏👏👍👍

I never saw those here in Germany - i would give them a try right on. They look ok. I would of course put a bit of extra Curry powder on one and hot sauce in the other 🤣🤣and with the amount of sauce i would need something to soak it up, like white bread.. I could imagine that with some mash as well - then one glass would certainly serve two. A happy and healthy new year to you and your family 👍❤

This better be good. I've been told to watch this as soon as I got in from work at 9pm the other half was quite excited about this one ........he's off to B&M tomorrow .....high expectations tonight 😂

You literally never come up in my notifications over the past year & yes, I am subbed. This is the first video of yours i've found by accident in about 6 months.

Hi, Gareth you mentioned Frigadellens that was my go-to off those takeaway vans on the Army camps With chips and mayo Awesome I was based in Gutersloh Germany Mannsergh barracks ex 29 commando to 26 field regt RA they sell Frigadellens in Lidl and Aldi pretty damn good! Happy New Year!

Brings back memories of forces germany for me too! Loved a currywurst etc,I'll be looking for these in the local b+m,thanks!

Locust bean gum (LBG, carob gum, carob bean gum, carobin, E410) is a galactomannan vegetable gum extracted from the seeds of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) and used as a thickening agent (gelling agent) in food technology. (no Locusts in it)

That Locust Bean Gum is a bean like a runner bean. Also great video makes me want to go shopping in the chucking down rain lol. I'll get some next Year. Just wondering what to have it with? Happy New Year to you and your family and foodies supporters. Hope 2024 is a great year for all.

I'm going to give it a go. Knowing what my tastebuds are like after following a considerable number of your reviews, I will try the spicy, with added curry powder, as needed! Pomme frit mit mayo. And a wooden fork.

Will need to try the spicy one with rice, good video.

First time seeing these and ill definitely be giving them a go thanks for sharing Gaz

Gyros, OMG my favourite, especially when it was sandwiched into a quarter of one of those round flatish bread loaves & not Pita bread. In the UK I’ve tried a couple of shop versions of it & from street stalls & I’ve found nothing that comes close to the real thing. Not sure when you were in Germany, but there was a guy called Wolfgang who used to drive his blue Schnell Imbiss van onto the Soltau training area to serve up his food to the troops on exercise, he didn’t serve Bratwurst only Bockwurst, but they were big & anything was a break from compo rats. Lidl sell Bratties & Frikadelas.

Hi Gareth I don't eat the food you review but I do like your videos the ghost chilli on was do funny😂 thank you happy new year to you and family.

Happy New Year mate 🎉

Great brand, love their franks

Not something I'd think to buy but thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜

I lived in Germany 30years and I loved them

Interesting curry I must try if I see that. Cheers pal.

I lived off base in an apartment and schnell imbiss was my go to for bratties mit pommes frites, mayo and curryghewurst Ketchup Or a couple of half chicken n frites The chick you could eat the lot except the bones. The skin was perfectly fried. If I wasn't there I could found in a Balkan grill Only other food I ate out there was schnitzel and compo rations, food of the gods

Looked nice Enjoyed watching Best wishes gareth

Nice these reminds me of a spicy tomato soap

Thay looked really nice them gaz .And cheap another good review keep them coming mate

New to me I love curry it looks okay

My favourite hotdog brand ,they look nice need to try

Love Wikinger hot dogs in jars, the salt content isn't too bad if you've worked up a sweat and the currywurst is epic after a night out lol learnt it in 95 at a beer festival in Hamburg

Best times of my life in British Forces Germany - BFG. I totally agree. These products are good but not quite the same as the real McCoy Hehe..

Oooo I’ll be trying this.

Wikinger hot dogs are tasty too, the only ones I buy now. Gonna try the spicy version of these though, be nice with beans & mash 😋

Hi Gareth 👋 I could eat that right now I'll deffo be getting some thanks 😋

Hey mate, Happy New Year 🎉

They should worm you up nice winter food good video

They look nice,worth a try, anyway happy new year 😊😊

Never seen these but I'll be keeping an eye out in future. Don't forget to visit Tesco and try and get some sausages called "Festive Bangers". You've gotta try and get some before they disappear off the shelves.

Used to love this whilst serving in Berlin in 1989, was there when the Wall came down. I’d endeavour to put a bit of Mayflower Curry or Curry Powder in it to curry it up a bit more and make it less sweet. All the Best Sapper to Yourself & Family. 👏👏👏

Wikinger hot dogs are delicious. Will be keeping an eye out for those. Nice one 👍

I love currywurst so I think I’ll try it. What’s to lose? Proper German currywurst is out of this world great though. If it tastes similar win-win

Crusty bread and real butter with that, Yummy.

One of the things I love about your channel is that I can get an honest review on products before I part with my cash. My moneys staying in my wallet on this one lol as it`s something I`d have for lunch/snack=underwhelming in flavours,too high in fat/salt/price. 🙂

These are so yummy. Occasionally Aldi / Lidl have a version of these in a tray.

I’ll get a jar of that😃 Might try it with Heinz’s curried beans

Great video

Very nice 👌 Like deployed 👍

That would be great mixed with polish beans. Perhaps a good candidate for seriously hot sauce.

Great review i wonder if they will go with rice or chips i never seen these but i have tried reviewed the wikingers hot dogs really nice 😊 and a happy new year 🎉 to u and your family 😊

Hi Gareth, them are new, I'll look out for them. They will go well with some rice, enjoy mate, Take care😁🤤😋👍👍

It is not the locust creature, but the lotus bean pods from the flowers. They are ground up to make mooncake fillings, really delicious. It is also a thickner.

Thank you Gaz for a great review 👍❤️ I'll be putting them on both our menus 🤤😋👍 I was 😂at your face 👉 🤨 when you heard that noise 😂 and when you said "not a lot" then you said it was Paul Daniels, thank you because that would've bugged me all day who's catch frase it was 😂 Have a lovely day ❤

Nice one

If this was in my pantry it would be there until it went out of date,only to end up in the bin 😝cheers Gareth👍

Always enjoy you mentioning your army days Gaz, I went to Germany on exercise a fair bit with TCW ( RAF UKMF Tac Comms Wing ) and we always managed a day out at the end of exercise with our LOA for RNR...sorry about all the acronyms 😝 . Tried all that sort of nosh in Germany washed down with a load of steins 🍻🍺. I was based at RAF Brize Norton and the accommodation blocks were at the far end of the base near the NAAFI and pedestrian entrance/exit to the local town, Carterton. Quite often roll out of the Colonel ( Gaddafi = NAAFI ) to the gate where on a Friday and Saturday night there'd be a burger wagon parked up, run by a welsh guy...we used to love winding him up, he'd ask what can i get you, and the reply would be, oh, err, a botulism burger or a salmonella sausage hotdog with onions please !! Great memories from the 80s 🤗😝

Thanks Gaz spot on mate 👍🔝😉😎

I'll be trying that.

You took me back over 40 years to my BAOR/RAFG days mate. Schnell Imbiss delights of all the Wursts, Frickadellen and Schaschlick. Or the sit down cafes having Goulaschesuppe, Halb Hanchen, Jaeger or Zigeuner Schnitzel with Red Cabbage and chips. Mayonnaise never far away from any of these delights.

Might try that spicy one on heavily buttered toast, makes a change from beans.

The sausage would put me of but I’d dip a crusty roll into the sauce as it seems nice, thanks for the review ❤❤

Hi morning great video never had them before so will get some may I just add you sould not put hot pans on your work top it could burn and lift them 😊

You may be feeling fragile tomorrow mate but your mum's dinner will sort you out! All the very best Gaz to you and your family. Here's to an amazing 2024

Got it b and m.

Currywurst mit Pommes bitte. That takes me back. Must be a regional thing, I was at Laarbruch on the Dutch border in the very early 80s and the currywurst was serverd with what I would call a brown chip shop curry sauce rather than a spicy tomato ketchup. But as taste's remembered, years later a freind from Berlin brought over some award winning Bratwurst from his local butcher, and to me that had only catering grade Bratwurst I thought they tasted very different.

Ooh happy memories from BFPO41!

I was going to mention these, only seen them at B+M. I love them.

It’s like rewinding time to … Playaway !!! 😂. Today Gareth is using….. the blue spatula! Yay 😀

The Lidl, a German company, by us occasionally have currywurst which really does remind me of being BAOR. It's in an oval shaped shallow plastic container which you microwave. It's about £1.70 and I recommend it.

I got two today, I will try them when I can.

I had tye curry ones before, didnt particularly enjoy. Good review as always. Fresh german Bratwurst with Saurkraut is best

They sell Wikinger frankfurters in jars in my local Sainsburys, three different sizes and once I'd tried em they are now the only brand I buy: well worth checking out if you like a hot dog.

I like the fresh bratwurst and currywurst but the sweet sauce that those jars have in them puts me off. Nothing beats the genuine item in Germany though, I love hearing about your exploits in the army😅

I have to get these. I hope the smell takes me back to Paderborn. I properly remember the bratty wagon, esp the curry Powder.

Hope u had good Christmas let’s hope next year be better

Hi Gaz tried the king kebab from Aldi tonight wow better than a takeaway

am going to see if my bm has them, ive to eat gluten free and we were in berlin and had these at wee street stalls and child liked them as did we.

Oh yes these will go well with chips, I have a B&M ten minutes away from me 😊

great vid,i have a couple in my cupboard,yet to try.what regiment were you in?
