From Thursday customers at the supermarket can sample the spicy German sausage and ketchup of Currywurst made in the company’s Larbert base.

Oktoberfest began two centuries ago celebrating a royal wedding and though based in Munich, is marked the world over. The invention of the Currywurst is attributed to Herta Heuwer in 1949 after she obtained ketchup and curry powder from British soldiers in Berlin. She mixed these ingredients with various spices, poured over grilled pork sausages, and the Currywurst was born.
