Ingridients:
1 sausage and 1 crispy kaiser per person
Currywurst sauce
1 cup tomato ketchup
1 tablespoon hot chili sauce
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground paprika
¼ teaspoon mild chili powder
Preparation:
Mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and leave it in the fridge, where the flavors should mix for a good two hours.
Cook the sausage, serve it on a crispy kaiser roll and pour currywurst sauce over it. For a complete experience of German cuisine, you can add sauerkraut and, of course, wash it down with a real bubbly drink.
La Galette Saucisse : France
French-style pancakes with an unexpected addition: sausage.

sausages (1 per person)
½ cup buckwheat flour
½ cup plain flour
½ cup of milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of water
Preparation:
Mix all the ingredients for the pancakes and let them stand for a good hour. Heat the pan and make buckwheat pancakes from the mass.
To turn the galette into La Galette Saucisse, simply coat the pancakes with mustard and wrap them around the freshly baked sausages... Et voila! You are already enjoying a snack that is extremely popular at football matches in the French city of Rennes.
Choripan with chimichurri sauce: Argentina
Accompany hot Argentines and football, which they play with passion, with hot food.
Ingridients:
Argentinian Chorizo sausage or Italian hot sausage
kaisers (to make them crispier, you can lightly toast them)
For the Chimichurri Sauce:
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup (red) wine vinegar
¼ cup water
½ cup chopped parsley
1 small onion (chopped)
3 cloves of garlic (chopped)
1 tomato (peeled, seeded and diced)
1 tablespoon of dried oregano
1 tablespoon of hot pepper (powder)
1 tablespoon salt flower
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
Preparation:
- Mix all the ingredients for the sauce well in a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and leave it in the fridge overnight. To ensure that the flavors of the karsed mix well and keep it fresh, remove the foil only about an hour before serving. Grill the sausages and spread the drained juice on the bread. You can also lightly toast them so that they are pleasantly crispy. Serve the sausages on kaiser rolls and generously cover them with Chimichurri sauce. Now the match can begin!
