Not only in Berlin Turkish Döner and Kebaps are the most consumed foods in Germany! More than McDonald's, Bratwurst and French Fries 🇹🇷❤️🧿

Döner kebab is originated from Ottoman Empire, it even said that the wraps in mexica were originated from the ottoman empire too, swedish meatballs are originally turkish recipe that a sweden prince took the recipe from a cook when he was staying at palaca he liked the food and asked for the recipe, and the turkey word for the animal comes from the Turkey itself, because back then ottoman empire was so exotic and rich for other nations and it was in the middle of everything such as trading routes so when they saw that chicken they kall it turkey because they saw it in ottoman empire and bring the turkey to their homelands, fun fact is we call the turkey "hindi" because like i said trade routes! the turkey animal was come here from india and india was exotic for us too so we called it hindi like we call indians hintli

You guys in Germany are SO LUCKY! Doner kebab is Netherlands streetfood star aswel, but here the meat is overly processed, and is a mixture of Turkey and Beef, very bland taste and not to mention the size of the bread that they have reduced. In this video i have seen beautiful PLUMPY and JUICY sandviches and i am JEALOUS!

[zanosov_bros]

i just love this guy, he can sell everything

[Multiplads]

The best Doner I ate in Europe so far was Mustafa’s Gemuse Kebab in Berlin. The waiting queue was something like 300m, not kidding.

But the Kebabs in Turkey are completely on another level. Turkey has so much food to offer, we get just a tiny part of it.

As someone living in Turkey I am a fan of German style kebab, I mean with lots of vegetables + sauce. They also also good here in Turkey but more plain and I prefer bread as in German one.

Make sure to give credit to the Turkish who invented it.

[jackjoker]

It's mythological to say that Döner in bread was invented in Germany or rather Berlin. It existed in turkey before there were any Döner shops in Germany. It's rather simple without any real variation though. No sauces and very few vegetables, but with fries and pickles instead. Berliner style Döner or Döner how it's served in most parts of Germany and Europe is definitely very much an original idea, but it's a variation of something that existed before.

🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷Oh yeah I want me some döner, traditional way... no cheese, no sauce... just meat some onions maybe little lettuce and tomato slices
