Condiments — questions

What is Gewürzketchup in English?

Gewürzketchup means seasoned or spiced ketchup. It is tomato based, like familiar ketchup, but contains a more pronounced blend of spices. German versions include curry, Schaschlik and different heat levels, and are commonly served with sausages, chips, burgers or grilled food.

What is Süßer Senf?

Süßer Senf is German sweet mustard. It is especially associated with Bavarian food and is traditionally served with Weißwurst, though it also works with other sausages, cold meats and sandwiches. Its sweetness and milder profile distinguish it from medium hot and extra hot German mustard.

What can I use as a substitute for German curry ketchup?

Ordinary tomato ketchup mixed with curry powder is a simple substitute. German curry ketchup offers a more integrated spice blend and comes in different heat levels, so adjust the curry powder gradually and add chilli only if you want extra heat.
