Germans eat about 800 million currywurst annually — so many that Berlin had a Currywurst Museum until its 2018 closure. From Berlin sausages and Brittany crêpes to Sicilian arancini, Greek gyros, and Belém pastéis de nata, European street food is where regional pride and immigrant cuisines meet. This quiz tours the continent one stall at a time.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll cover German currywurst and döner, British fish and chips, Belgian frites, Italian arancini and pastéis de nata, Greek souvlaki and bougatsa, Turkish simit and balık ekmek, Polish zapiekanki, Hungarian lángos, Czech trdelník, Balkan ćevapi, and Scandinavian classics — plus the migrants who introduced döner kebab to Berlin in 1972.
Currywurst is widely credited to Herta Heuwer, who served the first known portions in Berlin on September 4, 1949. She combined ketchup-style sauce, curry powder, and other spices on grilled bratwurst.
Belgians have a strong claim to inventing what English-speakers call 'French fries' — they call them frites. American GIs in World War I likely encountered them in French-speaking Belgium, and the name stuck.
The street-food döner sandwich (in pita-style flatbread with salad) is largely credited to Turkish migrant Kadir Nurman, who began selling it in West Berlin in 1972. It went on to become Germany's most popular street food.
