How do you pronounce the word curry?

Like the u in curd - or like the u in butter?

fun fact:

In Germany the great majority pronounces "curry" the American way.
I belong to a small minority who pronounces it the British and the Indian way.

Are you a native German speaker?

I've noticed that Germans speak English with either a standard American accent or a mild (southern) British accent. I'm not sure if the difference comes from where you learned English, or who taught you, or the influence of films/TV.

Sometimes the American accent can be quite pronounced as if the speaker is trying to sound like a 'cowboy'. Dutch media also have a habit of trying to impress by overdoing the American accent. It makes them sound like idiots.
