Got a strong stomach? The Battle of the GDR fast-foods

[Kellanved]

The Ketwurst: a sausage in a bun; the communist Hot Dog. Designed by a team of young nourishment specialists, the supply-solution "ketwurst" was a winner at the 3rd "young masters" expo in 1977.
Additional man-power went into developing adequate buns and a high-tech machine to create the holes for the sausages.



The Grilletta: A patty made from ground meat(mostly), served inside a roll. 'nuff said.



The Goldbroiler: In an attempt to reduce the average socialistic citizen's hunger for the expensive and unhealthy pork and beef, large-scale chicken farms were introduced during the early 70s.
Along with that, big stylish restaurants selling fried chicken - Goldbroiler- at hip places were opened to raise the acceptance for chicken meat. It worked splendidly - within a few months chicken was an article in high demand and low supply.
The pork and beef consumption wasn't influenced by it , though.




The Currywurst:
Fried sausage in ketchup, topped with yellow curry powder and onions - a west-German dish copied by a few entrepreneurs in the GDR. In total, there were three places selling Currywurst in the GDR(AFAIK).

The currywurst sounds revolting though

10. pardon?

Ambrosia, I tell you. It's not up to the Döner, but a good Currywurst is among the best things a greasy stand can sell.

2. But what are we voting for?

Most or least edible?

[Kellanved]

4. most socialistic one?

Simply pick your soulmate among the commie fast-food.

5. Most socialistic is definitely the ketwurst...

food designed by a committee of "nourishment specialists"? Can't beat that.

The Goldbroiler looks to be the most edible.

6. I wonder too.

Maybe it's a vote for the one that will cause the most pain & suffering while you're sitting on the toilet.:rofl:
