Bianca Wohlfromm, project manager at the German Currywurst Museum Berlin, told The Local that currywurst "would not have been possible if the allies were not in the city" and that the influence of the occupying powers was "large". Curry powder was brought over by the British. According to the Currywurst Museum, Frau Heuwer traded with British soldiers for the key ingredients of ketchup and curry powder. She then combined the tomato sauce with the curry powder and served it with pork sausage. However, the British used 'curry' to refer to the spice mixture used to prepare the sauce, and liked it so much that they brought spice mixes back to the UK and called them curry powder.
