Nuremberg from the perspective of the federal capital’s press? Well, when a golden figure breathes “The Christ Child invites you to his market, and whoever comes there should be welcome” on the main market, then that may be worth a note in the mixed bag.
Otherwise, research of Süddeutsche Zeitung revealed that Berliners have suspected the largest city in Franconia of collective Loddarmaddäus-likeness, who consider the Kaiserburg to be an object of the insurance industry, but at least have basic knowledge of regional Schmalwurst, after which this place is said to have been named. Or was it the other way around?
never mind. In any case, recently everything was suddenly completely different, the people of Nuremberg – mind you: not the insurance company – had a veritable surcharge in the federal capital because of a sausage. “Nuremberg has Germany’s most expensive currywurst – the price is unbelievable…” the Berlin audience was goaded and at the same time showed where the hammer should actually hang.
So the, literally, “culinary gem from Berlin” (vulgo: the currywurst) costs 17 euros in posh establishments on the Spree. In Nuremberg, on the other hand, in this little sausage city, “a whopping 99.90 euros”. uhhh
You obviously make an impression with something like that in the capital, so visit Nuremberg’s main market square, directly opposite the church, on whose balcony the Christ Child is exercising his (or her) office. “Currywurst Bar” is the name of the house, the humanist and Dürer buddy Willibald Pirckheimer once resided here, later American boulettes were fried there until it seemed no longer worth it.
So now currywurst. And indeed, including the “Couple Deluxe”, which – as the man behind the counter warns – should be ordered a day in advance so that all the ingredients are available in the house. “Tomato Curry Sauce” comes over the thing, so far everything is normal, huh?
But now: “For 2 people, caviar topping, 4 pure oysters, truffle fries & bottle of champagne”. How it should be in the city of the world. And yes, in Big-City-Franconia that is also ordered, says the counter man. Supposedly once a week.
So there’s still a bit of room for improvement, but it’ll be fine. The only question is how Berlin now counters, so purely superlative: Currywurst on Wannsee property?
