Curried Sausages

A yummy dish
So one of the first ways I noticed that my grandmother was 'chatting' to me through her cookbook was by a clipping I found amongst the pages that she had cut out of a local newspaper.
It was for a recipe of curried sausages. The lady who had submitted it to the paper described it as a recipe that her grandmother used to make.
Hubby decided he wanted to give it a go. What follows is the basic recipe as hubby put his own embellishments in.
Ingredients
750g beef or pork sausages
1 tbs oil
1 large onion chopped.
1 large green apple peeled and diced (we omitted this)
2 tbs flour
1 -2 dsp curry powder (to taste)
1 tsp salt.
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp vinegar
600ml water.
Method
1. Prick the sausages with a fork, cover with cold water and bring to the boil.
2. Drain and cool and carefully remove the skins.
3. Brown the chopped onion lightly in the heated oil and add the apple, flour, curry powder, sugar and salt.
4. Mix well and tir in the vinegar with the 600ml of water.
5. Continue stirring until the gravy boils and thickens.
6. When thickened, add the cooled and skinned sausages.
7. You can either leave the sausages whole or cut them into chunks.
8. Cover the saucepan and simmer gently for 25 to 30 mins.
9. Serve with rice or mashed potatoes.

There's actually been a book written called 'The Invention of the Curried Sausage' where author Uwe Timm tracks down a lady by the name of Lena Brucker in Hamburg who claims to have invented the curried sausage.
It was actually a street stall snack (like hotdogs in America) in Germany shortly after the war.
Another story goes that a snack vendor by the name of Herta Heuwer started experimenting with ingredients given to her by a British solider in September 1949. This was in Berlin and she patented the 'curry sausage'.
I hope that answers your question.
