Curries (meta-discussion)

Chip shop curry sauce has, to my mind, an odd taste - and one that I don’t like. It’s years since I tried it. You tend to find it in chip shops run by Chinese people. It’s sweeter, often with raisins in it, and star anise.

A quick Google tells me that my online supermarket stocks “curry sauce granules”. Yuck - by any measure:

I’ve never tried currywurst. Another quick Google attributes its inventor acquiring curry powder from British troops stationed in Germany as part of the postwar occupation.
