ALL ABOUT WURST: THE STORY OF BERLIN'S PEA SAUSAGE
The first episode in the new series is both a starter and the main dish. It's a story of soup. Of instant soup that from the late 1860s on fed Prussian, German and even foreign armies, filled stomachs both on and off the battlefields, and was tested for its combat suitability not by one but by two "Soup Commandos".
Until less than a decade ago it was a staple in most German households. Today's episode is about one of great Berlin inventions: about Erbswurst.
