Curry Wurst

When you don't have the foods you grew up eating, you sometimes get that sharp craving for specialties that simply don't exist where you live. My husband grew up in the land of pretzels, wurst and beer in a small town in northern Germany, and every six months or so, he looks off into the distance and utters longingly two words: curry wurst.

My first encounter with curry wurst was in Berlin -- soft tasty sausage and spicy curry ketchup sauce that's also slightly sweet. No one that I've spoken to seems to know the origin of this fast-food delight, which is still made with very high-quality products in Germany. My challenge was to make it with American ingredients and update it so we could enjoy curry wurst as a healthy meal that can be served for dinner with a side of steamed broccoli.

The Omnivore's Hundred: How many have you tried?

Andrew, an English food writer who co-authors a blog called Very Good Taste, creates a little list. The list is, in his words, things "every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life." He calls it the Omnivore's Hundred and suggests readers cut and paste it to their own blogs.

Two weeks later the list has exploded into a major internet meme. Andrew has more than 500 comments on the post and the Omnivore's Hundred has 170,000 Google results to its name. Something about the idea of being able to quantify your eating experiences seems to really resonate with foodies. The list is completely subjective (I'm sure mine would have been quite different - I can't imagine not including New York pizza, tacos al pastor or key lime pie), but quite interesting nonetheless. I've tasted 73 of the 100 items. Some of the ones I haven't tried include nettle tea, fugu and currywurst (picture above).

Check out the list, after the jump, and tell me what you would include on your own Omnivore's Hundred.
