I’m gonna be graphic for a moment.
This delicious dish gave me some…issues.
Before I go into all of that, currywurst is German fast food consisting of chopped up sausages in a curry tomato sauce with bread to sop it all up with.
Sounds a little weird, right?
Perhaps. But SO good.
The issue was in the level of spiciness I chose.
Berlin Currywurst offers four levels, the top two boast a minimum age requirement of 16. (Clever marketing)
I chose level 3.
I’m a big (bun) boy, I knew I could handle it.
The problem wasn’t in how spicy it tasted….each bite contained the perfect amount of subtly painful heat.
The problem was, for the first time in my life, I experienced what spicy does AFTER digestion, and I don’t mean heartburn…
ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even after several humiliating sessions.
All that being said, I’ll be back for spice level 4!…When I have a week long staycation planned.
Given the look of that sausage, I am absolutely not surprised that it made a second (and third and fourth) appearance later on… 😉
