Marty McFly's having the time of his life. The only question is -- what time is it?
In 1985 Marty McFly enthralled us all as he travelled in time in the hollywood blockbuster, Back to the future. So in the same spirit we thought a weekly feature would be fun to take a look at something different each week and see how it was back then in 1985 in 50 Missile Regiment and how it is now in the present day. So lets take a look as we go Back to the Future!

Did you know?
The invention of currywurst is attributed to Herta Heuwer in Berlin in 1949 after she obtained ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and curry powder from British
soldiers. She mixed these ingredients with other spices and poured it over grilled pork sausage. Heuwer started selling the cheap but filling snack at a street stand in the Charlottenburg district of Berlin where it became popular with construction workers rebuilding the devastated city. She patented her sauce, called Chillup, in 1951. At its height the stand was selling 10,000 servings per week. She later opened a small restaurant which operated until 1974.
Today, currywurst is often sold as a take-away, Schnellimbisse in restaurants, or as a street food. Usually served with french fries or bread rolls (Brötchen), it is popular all over Germany but particularly popular in the metropolitan areas of Berlin, Hamburg and the Ruhr Area. Considerable variation both in the type of sausage used and the ingredients of the sauce occurs between areas. Common variations include the addition of paprika or chopped onions.
An estimated 800 million servings are sold in Germany each year.
