Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Who the hell told this person that Currywurst is made with veal? The standard is pork. And it's grilled, not fried.
Maybe the article was made up with an LLM?
Common to write a paragraph and some keywords yourself and have an LLMfill out the rest I'm afraid
Beef sausage is the norm for currywurst in the Frankfurt area, but pork is much more common everywhere else.
thank you - I came to comment an "ahahahaha" on that. As if anyone would put (expensive) veal into even a beef sausage...
In my experience, fried is much more common than grilled, which makes sense - for a tiny fast-food place, a frying station is much more useful and cheaper to operate.
Where do you live? I've never seen a fast food place fry sausages in Germany.
I've seen it in Cologne and the region around it, in Munich, Hamburg, Berlin and a bunch of small cities. Where do you live that you only ever see them grilled? I've only really seen them grilled in outdoors scenarios.
Or could you be confusing frying in fat ("frittieren") with frying in a pan ("braten")? I'm talking about a heated metal surface with a thin film of oil.
When talking about fast food, frying usually refers to deep frying. I wanted to throw nasty words at you because obviously Currywurst isn't deep fried.
What word would you have me use to say not grilling, and not deep frying?
I'd call it grilling to be honest. It kinda looks like a teppanyaki, which is a form of grill.
But grilling is over open flame. When I'm frying something in a frying pan, I'm not grilling it.
It's usually a teppan style grill. A stainless steel plate over gas burners.
I guess you're technically correct, as you never said deep-fry. But for some reason I immediately thought you meant people would submerge the sausages into boiling fat.
Teppanyaki literally means "iron pan". It's frying, not grilling, the difference is that frying involves contact to a hot surface, while grilling primarily works via infrared radiation, at a distance. Also, air, but that's not the primary factor otherwise we'd be talking baking: You can absolutely grill something over hot coals on the beach while the wind is carrying all the hot air away. Baking btw works perfectly fine for sausages.
You'll see that kind of thing being called a Grillplatte in German but that's because it's (at least traditionally) an iron plate you put on a grill, not because you're grilling stuff with it. Culinary and fixture lingo don't match up in this case.
Languages are weird, to be honest. In German we call a teppanyaki "Teppangrill".
No frying pans anywhere, either. That would be very impractical in the standard sausage-and-fries shop that sells currywurst.
You do get that you don't need a literal frying pan for frying, right? You just need an even metal surface with thin oil coating that's heated. That's what 90+% of small fast food shops have.
But you can't seriously try to tell me that every single Imbiss you've ever been to has an open flame grill they use for everything.
Who said anything about open flame? I'd assume most of them are going to use electric grills. No oil involved.
But maybe you can link me a picture of the kind of frying device that you have in mind - maybe we just disagree on whether that's a grill or a fryer.
I'm thinking of something like this:
(taken from https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/kochblock-mkn-edelstahl-imbisszeile-braeter-bainmarie-grill-11212/1630405258-87-7107)
They call it a "Bräter"/"Bratfläche", not a grill. Maybe a better word would have been "roasted", but "grilled" just isn't something I've seen for normal metal-surface-cooking.
For a tiny place, that is, a mobile shack barely large enough to house one, a gas grill makes sense. No need for electrical anything as fridges can also run on gas, and grilling sausages gives way better results than frying.
It might be, but it's not what I've seen. IME it's very rare to have an open grill. Much more common is a metal plate heated by gas, but that's frying.
