Volkswagen’s most popular product is not a car, but rather their award-winning currywurst sausage produced at their Wolfsburg plant. In 2018, over 6.81 million sausages were produced and served in VW canteens, sold in retail outlets, and even handed out by car dealerships. The spice-infused pork sausage is made using a secret recipe and is typically served with curry ketchup and potato chips.
Part number 199 398 500 A is one of the most popular Volkswagen products. However, it’s not a nice-looking Beetle, a practical Jetta sedan or a trendy minibus.
In fact, it’s not a model in Volkswagen’s car range, or even anything to do with cars.
Since 1973, the Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg, Germany has also produced currywurst sausages. This award-winning pork sausage feeds staff members in VW canteens and is also available in retail outlets and online. Car dealerships are also sent Volkswagen currywurst to hand out to their customers.
Surprisingly, more currywurst was produced in 2018 than any other VW part – over 6.81 million connections.
The car and the sausage:
The meat was originally a mixture of pork and beef, but the beef was removed in the 1990s after a major outbreak of mad cow disease in the UK. The sausage has won awards at numerous German food fairs.
The food, technically currybockwurst, is spice-infused pork sausage and is typically served doused in curry ketchup with a generous side of potato chips.
VW employs 30 people in its Wolfsburg kitchen. The team produces 18,000 sausages a day, using a secret recipe that includes curry powder, pepper and ginger. The meat is then dried and smoked over beech wood.
