The kebab, a (divisive) part of Europe.
The kebab, a (divisive) part of Europe.
We are what we eat: a blend of tastes, recipes, cultures and habits. The kebab, a beloved, consumed, opposed, and now gentrified dish, represents and embodies all these tensions. Meanwhile, Turkey wants the döner kebab to be recognised as a traditional Turkish speciality, as pizza is for Italy.
Kebab isn't divisive! It's the great unifier!

Just call it shawarma, and say it always have been german.
German döner is genuinely different from either Turkish döner or shawarma: It's bread with kebab meat (or something similar to kebab meat, but made from cheap meats and filler content), onions, tomato, cucumber, and pickled white and red cabbage and a sauce (this varies regionally, e.g. we have the trifecta of joghurt/herbs, garlic mayo, and sweetish chili sauce).
[Oh, and the kebab meat itself can also be replaced with, most commonly, falafels ("Falafel-Döner"), or in some cases, seitan. But even if you stick with meat, you can usually choose between cow and chicken, with the original sheep meat being the rarest option.]
The way I see it, shawarma comes in strips and kebab in flakes

Not even a single mention of gyros.
Not true:
The result is the trinity of kebabs, gyros and shawarma
Thank you for the fact check.
Doner is the kebab you only eat when you’re pissed.
Drunk me heading to AbraKebabra right now.
