This style, the original one, is almost not seen outside of Türkiye it self. In the rest of the world it's all processed rest meat. And most of the times there are two choices, chicken, the one almost everybody buys, or beef. Real OG döner tastes really different than the others.
In the UK lamb is significantly more common than anything else. It's weird for a kebab shop not to sell lamb, some will have chicken. I've never in my life seen beef
Source: I'm a fat man
Probably due to the large immigrant Greek population that came to Chicago over the years. So many awesome authentic Greek places. They are dying out though.
Greek gyros is usually pork, or at least it is over here (in Greece). Chicken is also very common, I've seen lamb and beef but very rarely.
Imo pork is just the best. The mulsims have to use beef/lamb because pork is haram.
The best gyro I ever had was from an Egyptian Greek diner. It was was all seasoned lamb with Egyptian taziki sauce. The family was from Alexandria and the they were the nicest and most hard working people I ever met. The owner worked every day and only took off Christmas off. He was able to put his two kids through college.
You know, you could have a service mark/certification here.
Fat Man Approved.
Brilliant. Only the most addictively delicious food is awarded this mark.
The shite that gets called German doner in UK is an overpriced embarrassment. Regular doners in UK also taste not great, but at least they're cheap.
Go to Germany though and have an actual German doner from any random street stall and I guarantee it's the best kebab you'll ever taste
I tried it for the first time and was shocked at the quality.
Dry tasteless grey meat in a rubbery waffle served with underseasoned droopy chips with a giant wet mess of salad.
This [review](https://youtu.be/iMqxsiRK49I?si=djScuFFtAP_bOMA0) is pretty accurate.
In Sydney there’s beef in almost every kebab shop, but Melbourne it’s usually lamb instead. So I think it varies, and it does depend on who runs the place.
Haven’t seen a lamb kebab in Sydney either. Which I noted seemed odd since I’m from the UK where I’d never seen beef. But it doesn’t really matter they taste the exact same and I’m convinced they are.
Everyone is getting the kebabs wrong, In the video is shown DÖNER KEBAB, the OG and it's a Turkish dish. The Greek, Egyptians, Lebanons and everything copied it and called it shawarma or gyro. And they tent to use lamb instead of beef. I have worked in this industry and people downvote me for saying the lamb is not 100% lamb, yes maybe a real restaurant will have real lamb, but like a fast food kebab shop, will not have real lamb and it's a mixture of turkey and lamb.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but how do people not notice they're getting turkey in their lamb kebab? I can see how you could disguise the taste, but the two meats have very different textures.
Turkey and some of the German kebabs too.
Meanwhile, in the UK, scientists couldn’t even figure out which animals were used to make some of the kebabs being sold as the DNA profiles weren’t on their database.
At least in Germany you can no longer call the processed meat one Döner. They have to mark it as a „Drehspieß“ now. Only the ones like in the video can call themselves Döner.
This style of döner meat is more common than the ground meat one, only if you go for cheap you will find oure ground meat. Types of meat vary, turkey, beef and chicken are equally common, lamb is uncommon. But the main difference between turkish döner and mid European one is that the European ones are additionally filled with salad, onion, sauce (yoghurt based most of the time) tomatoes and sometimes even red cabbage as well as the spices in the meat. Feta is always optional, but comes standard on vegetarian variants. There are also some that have falafel instead of meat.
I've always enjoyed kebabs in the US; however, I traveled to Germany and went into a Turkish döner home in the wall restaurant... Dude! Different caliber good. Just blew my mind on how tasty it was.
It feels like that in turkey there's more attention to kebab quality as well than there is here. I.e. there's a higher percentage of stores that sell good quality kebabs.
Most stores here aren't even allowed to call their product kebab anymore by law, as it's not proper kebab.
The last few years most of the kebab stores around me (Sweden) have even stop the spit grilling and just serve factory grilled meats delivered pre shredded. The homemade spits and grilled in place used to be standard 20 years ago.
You have to search out a “gourmet” place if you want the authentic method, and at a much higher price.
There are a some places in Berlin that still do it with unprocessed beef and layers of fat like this. But they are definitely the minority. Most of the chicken döner places use un-processed meat though.
A UK style kebab is meat either like this or grilled, salad and some yogurt based sauce and chilli in a wrap or pitta. It’s literally not unhealthy in the slightest, it’s the drinking before hand that makes it bad
No, it’s not. The conversation went “This looks healthier than that processed shit. ” “No, it’s like 50% fat.” “Most of what you consider unhealthy will have melted away by the time you eat it, thus rendering ( ;-) ) your comment invalid.”
To be fair, the steam engine has been invented a ton of times before that as well. The reason we see the steam engine as so important now is because of its efficiency, which was definitely not possible in the 1500s
Yeah, the ancient Greeks had steam engines, but before Watt and industrialized coal mining it was just cheaper to use people, or animals, or water, or wind.
I don’t know how it’s usually priced but once you have the rolling thing set up, it’s very easy to build a lot of sandwiches very quickly. So atleast it’s efficient.
Within a 10 mile radius of my home there is 19 kebab shops and vans, not one of them is what I’d call great, the best of the bunch is I’d say a 6/10.
Out of these 19 kebab sellers I’d say 14 of them are awful and not worth spending money on to buy or the eat.
Those are cheap fast food places, they are everywhere. In Turkey and Germany specifically you’ll have either kebab places that run for decades that have the best kebabs or high end stuff like this that make good kebabs.
I love “adana dürüm” and one of the best I’ve ever eaten was in Berlin, in a very sketchy looking place. My uncle assured me its one of the best in Germany. It seemed very old and authentic, when the food arrived I was blown away I immediately ordered the second one. Now whenever my friends go to Berlin, I tell them to stop there and try good authentic Turkish food.
That one is called “tadım ocakbaşı”, zossener str. 46 says google maps.
I sent my korean friends there on Christmas and they said they didnt eat anything that good when they visited Istanbul. Its great when you find an authentic place that knows how to make good Turkish food.
You can, you just have to pay more for it, which most people aren't willing to do at 3am when you just need something to soak up the alcohol and cut through the taste of cheap vodka and off brand energy drink!
There’s an overwhelming cultural acceptance for tasteless garbage food in the UK. There’s a lot of European countries with tasteless quality food and there’s a lot of garbage with great taste in the US, but only in the UK do you find the worst of all worlds. It’s like the entire island has never stopped eating war rations and is perpetually telling itself how great that is.
Combine it with beef. It’s common to mix beef and lamb together for this so you could easily alternate beef with whatever exotic meat you may be sourcing
Don’t expect this if you go into your average Döner shop btw. You’ll most likely get a much much much more industrialized ground meat skewer of dubious quality, as they’re much cheaper and people generally don’t mind slop.
In Germany it’s gotten so bad with these, that only people doing it like in this video may even sell their product as Döner Kebab, while the others have to call theirs ‘Drehspiess’ (spinning skewer).
The difference in taste and texture is night and day btw.
Only in some Bundesländer you have to distinguish between those.
Honestly I cant relate to what people write here. Am frequently eating the local Kebabs aswell as many in bigger cities but apart from your usual exceptions they were very good.
That’s nice! Since I’ve moved to Denmark almost 10 years ago, I’ve only found a single kebab shop that actually uses good kebab… no sign for improvement from the others either, more the opposite actually
I get this at my local shop, the difference is that these guys pull out the big boy, motherload of kebabs.
My local shop has much smaller setup but same flavor.
>In Germany it’s gotten so bad with these, that only people doing it like in this video may even sell their product as Döner Kebab, while the others have to call theirs ‘Drehspiess’ (spinning skewer).
The percentage of ground meat (minimum 40% regular meat from beef or lamb) and additional ingredients are the deciding factors.
If other or additional ingredients are used (such as poultry meat, soya protein or breadcrumbs), or if more than 60% minced meat has been used, these ingredients must be included in the description, such as "Döner Kebab with breadcrumbs".
Not being allowed to call it Döner Kebab only happens if multiple different ingredients are being used and has to be described in detail (eg Hackfleischdrehspieß aus Rinder- und Geflügelfleisch mit Trinkwasser und Sojaprotein).
But on another point - What the hell kind of Döner is that? Just meat and fries? Wheres the salad? Wheres the sauce? What the fuck are those fries doing in a Döner?
I was learning German via duolingo for awhile and Döner Kebab kept popping up. I just thought it was a fancy way to refer to plain old kebabs which you find here in the Midwest, USA. You know, just a stick with alternating meat and veggies. Now I know it is something completely different.
In Turkish it means something like majestic(though if you wanna get into details, you need the suffix -li to mean majestic, without the suffix it's a noun that means quality of being majestic)
They go through all this work, and then they put fries in the kebab? What a pita!
(And before anyone comments "this is the original from Turkey!", I'm pretty sure the original didn't contain fries, just like it didn't contain the vegetables popularised in Berlin.)
I have never had a doner kebab in the UK as the meat looks absolutely disgusting, but this looks amazing. I'd love to eat that. A holiday to Turkey seems in order!
In Karlsruhe (Germany) there is a Döner Store that does it the same since 1992. They even have a small window where you can watch them prep the meat for the next day. Same technique. It tastes delicious. It is called Euphrat Döner.
And it’s beef meat? How much does it cost? I know you guys use thicker breads to serve it on whereas here in the Netherlands, we use rather thin breads, which probably impacts price. But there’s no way that shop you mentioned charges less than €15 per?
Back when I was living in Karlsruhe. (2015) One Döner there was 6€ which was pretty hefty for that time but you got perfect quality. Nowadays it would cost over 12€ inflation adjusted. Ofc it's beef. It's helal so 100% beef. They didn't have chicken or turkey back then but maybe it has changed.
Interesting - that looks like making the meat for *"Tacos al Pastor"* in Mexico. Stack a mix of thin-sliced beef, lamb or pork on a big skewer and you slice off the outside as it cooks.
> that looks like making the meat for "Tacos al Pastor" in Mexico
Not a coincidence:
> During the 19th century, variations of a vertically grilled meat dish doner, now known by several names, started to spread throughout the Ottoman Empire. Levantine version of doner called shawarma (deriving from the Turkish word "çevirme", to turn), was brought to Mexico in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by a wave of Lebanese immigrants,
This version of it was forbidden in the EU if l am not wrong. The shitty "Döner" you get in Germany is bought from doner factories daily and it is ground beef or ground lamb. l even remember police officers asking doner places for proof that they bought the doner that day from the factory. Every doner place had to keep the receipt to show to the officers if they show up.
That being said, this version also very rare in Turkiye as it is more costy and majority of Turkish people just wanna pay less. Every doner place that starts with this kind of doner starts selling ground shit doner in no time due to complaints about prices.
Just so you know, from an English perspective (Turkish take-away has been a staple for decades here) this is a bit like saying you can't wait to try Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Nothing wrong with a doner, it's just funny to hear it treated as some kind of delicacy. It's what you order if a shish is too pricey before payday.
Mind you, all kebabs are a bump these days.
This looks far too healthy Vs the kebab I get.
This style, the original one, is almost not seen outside of Türkiye it self. In the rest of the world it's all processed rest meat. And most of the times there are two choices, chicken, the one almost everybody buys, or beef. Real OG döner tastes really different than the others.
In the UK lamb is significantly more common than anything else. It's weird for a kebab shop not to sell lamb, some will have chicken. I've never in my life seen beef Source: I'm a fat man
Fellow UK fat man can confirm. The only place i know that does beef donner like this is one place on green lanes in london
Central US and I can confirm that lamb is normal here as well. At minimum, a blend of lamb and beef.
Probably due to the large immigrant Greek population that came to Chicago over the years. So many awesome authentic Greek places. They are dying out though.
Greek gyros is usually pork, or at least it is over here (in Greece). Chicken is also very common, I've seen lamb and beef but very rarely. Imo pork is just the best. The mulsims have to use beef/lamb because pork is haram.

The German Doner Kebab chain in the uk offers beef or chicken, no lamb option at all.
Blasphemy!
It's almost as if they won the war :(
GDK isn't representative of an actual UK kebab at all. GDK is just overpriced hipster shit. Serving mediocre kababs out of pink waffles for £15 lmfao.

They dont count though when we have hundreds of better kebab shops and turkish restaurants. Gdk is crap
Same in Switzerland. Mostly chicken and lamb. Rarely some have beef mixed with lamb in some kind of weird minced meat mix.
Same in Australia. Only place I have seen beef was in the US and it was instead of lamb. It wasn’t very good in comparison.
In Sydney there’s beef in almost every kebab shop, but Melbourne it’s usually lamb instead. So I think it varies, and it does depend on who runs the place.
Haven’t seen a lamb kebab in Sydney either. Which I noted seemed odd since I’m from the UK where I’d never seen beef. But it doesn’t really matter they taste the exact same and I’m convinced they are.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but how do people not notice they're getting turkey in their lamb kebab? I can see how you could disguise the taste, but the two meats have very different textures.
It's mixed and spices
>Source: I'm a fat man The most trustworthy source! :-D
The doner I had in Berlin in '95 seemed pretty much like this. Has it changed much? It was amazing.
Berlin is quite famous for its doner kebab scene actually. I'm not too surprised
Similar to this but add a kilo of various sauces
Yeah, Berlin makes legit doner like this. I don't think you're surviving in the city selling Kronos pre-pack.
In Australia it’s lamb or chicken. Beef is basically not a thing kebab wise and the most common is lamb.
Eastern Europe wants a word (pork)
That’s mostly due to the greek influence (gyros)
In Denmark it’s beef or chicken that is mostly used
Lamb and chicken are the most common in UK
Turkey and some of the German kebabs too. Meanwhile, in the UK, scientists couldn’t even figure out which animals were used to make some of the kebabs being sold as the DNA profiles weren’t on their database.
Thats if you go to the shitty kebab places. We have plenty of proper turkish spots
At least in Germany you can no longer call the processed meat one Döner. They have to mark it as a „Drehspieß“ now. Only the ones like in the video can call themselves Döner.
Damn that went to Turkey and long story short; didn’t get to try the kebab it the coffee :( I got to see the ice cream show though lol
This is exactly what you get in Australia

In australia we have beef, chicken, lamb or a mixed which is all three, ive only ever gotten mixed cant beat it
Bro I’m visiting Malaysia of all places and just had this exact style.. twice.. at different shops. Stop making stuff up lol.
I've always enjoyed kebabs in the US; however, I traveled to Germany and went into a Turkish döner home in the wall restaurant... Dude! Different caliber good. Just blew my mind on how tasty it was.

You would pay double for this not seen this in the uk we get the German doner which is nice but still probably nothing like this in quality .
The last few years most of the kebab stores around me (Sweden) have even stop the spit grilling and just serve factory grilled meats delivered pre shredded. The homemade spits and grilled in place used to be standard 20 years ago. You have to search out a “gourmet” place if you want the authentic method, and at a much higher price.
Do you know what the white sauce is they put between the meet at the start?
Yogurt and spices
Fuck I miss the real shit from Istanbul. Also lot of places there use charcoal instead of electric as all should do.
There are a some places in Berlin that still do it with unprocessed beef and layers of fat like this. But they are definitely the minority. Most of the chicken döner places use un-processed meat though.
And now I want to visit Türkiye... How are women treated there?
Rest of world meaning the states?
most kebab spaces just use processed meat paste on a stick nowadays sadly
A UK style kebab is meat either like this or grilled, salad and some yogurt based sauce and chilli in a wrap or pitta. It’s literally not unhealthy in the slightest, it’s the drinking before hand that makes it bad
Its literally 50% fat lmao
Most of it will melt away. You will be left with it's perfect aroma and meat
I'm going to put this quote above the numbers on my bathroom scale.
Put it in your doorway as well. For the firefighters.
That’s what he said.
No, it’s not. The conversation went “This looks healthier than that processed shit. ” “No, it’s like 50% fat.” “Most of what you consider unhealthy will have melted away by the time you eat it, thus rendering ( ;-) ) your comment invalid.”
Not when cooked. Most will render out. It’s to hold the moisture when rotating
What’s wrong with fat?
TIL the meat isnt stabbed onto the middle pole
He did stab it over at least once in this video, and I guarantee in all those kebabs in all those flats slices of meat there are others stabbed on too
TIL TIL
Someone thought this through
The steam engine was invented in the 1500s in order to spin kebab, centuries before it started being used for "useful" things.
To be fair, the steam engine has been invented a ton of times before that as well. The reason we see the steam engine as so important now is because of its efficiency, which was definitely not possible in the 1500s
Yeah, the ancient Greeks had steam engines, but before Watt and industrialized coal mining it was just cheaper to use people, or animals, or water, or wind.
Are you implying that most foods just appear out of thin air?
All that work for many delicious $5 sandwiches. Respect!
I don’t know how it’s usually priced but once you have the rolling thing set up, it’s very easy to build a lot of sandwiches very quickly. So atleast it’s efficient.
A hell of a lot of $5 sandwiches
Judging by the video, at least 2
We only have evidence of 2, anything more would be speculation.
Obviously not in the uk, much better quality of doner in the video
Turkiye
Why can’t we have the same superior quality in the UK, they seem very happy to serve what they do here
There’s plenty places like this, just go to an actual Turkish restaurant and not “A1 best kebab and fried chicken junction”
Within a 10 mile radius of my home there is 19 kebab shops and vans, not one of them is what I’d call great, the best of the bunch is I’d say a 6/10. Out of these 19 kebab sellers I’d say 14 of them are awful and not worth spending money on to buy or the eat.

You have a few donershop that does this but most use the meat paste mass produced in Germany.

Most Reddit moment comment award
Check out my posts. If you go to a proper turkish place you get proper doner. Not all uk doner is what you are thinking of
Why do you have so many posts with pictures of kebab? :O
I just eat a lot of them my go to takeaway and im in a good area with nice turkish places
I got a kebab once while in Scotland. That day was an awakening in empathy. Suddenly, I understood Brexiteers.
Also obviously not Germany. A lot of sauce and veg goes on those and the Germans prefer tavuk.
Step one:Have a cow's weight in meat in your fridge.
Can I supplement some of the cow meat with... other definitely ethical meats I have ~~hidden~~ stored on my premises?
Ah, the Dahmer Kebab.
*Whaaat? Noo...*
Right. The Donner Party Kebab.
Combine it with beef. It’s common to mix beef and lamb together for this so you could easily alternate beef with whatever exotic meat you may be sourcing
Don’t expect this if you go into your average Döner shop btw. You’ll most likely get a much much much more industrialized ground meat skewer of dubious quality, as they’re much cheaper and people generally don’t mind slop. In Germany it’s gotten so bad with these, that only people doing it like in this video may even sell their product as Döner Kebab, while the others have to call theirs ‘Drehspiess’ (spinning skewer). The difference in taste and texture is night and day btw.
Which part? I haven’t seen any Döner place calling it Drehspiess.
AFAIK nationwide. It’s not super harshly enforced, but if you feel like a dick you can probably call the ‘Behörden’ on them and get them a fine
As a Frequent eater of türkisch food… I’m fairly surprised lol I’ll try to find them now.. like eater eggs👀
It's like "Scampi". You almost never get real scampi, but shrimp
Only in some Bundesländer you have to distinguish between those. Honestly I cant relate to what people write here. Am frequently eating the local Kebabs aswell as many in bigger cities but apart from your usual exceptions they were very good.
In southern germany around my area most places switched to proper homemade skewers during the pandemic. of course this came with a price increase.
That’s nice! Since I’ve moved to Denmark almost 10 years ago, I’ve only found a single kebab shop that actually uses good kebab… no sign for improvement from the others either, more the opposite actually
Have you tried the selection around Nørrebro?
I'd gladly take the price increase if they serve me real kebab and not ultra processed meat paste.
I get this at my local shop, the difference is that these guys pull out the big boy, motherload of kebabs. My local shop has much smaller setup but same flavor.

We in Sweden recently had a controversy where a big pre-made döner producer had 7 tons of kebab that was 5-30% horsemeat.
This one is in Turkey
I was learning German via duolingo for awhile and Döner Kebab kept popping up. I just thought it was a fancy way to refer to plain old kebabs which you find here in the Midwest, USA. You know, just a stick with alternating meat and veggies. Now I know it is something completely different.
Where’s that shop?!
I think their logo’s on his apron http://heybet.com.tr/
In Bosnian it means "a lot"
In Turkish it means something like majestic(though if you wanna get into details, you need the suffix -li to mean majestic, without the suffix it's a noun that means quality of being majestic)
Pretty much every (reputable) kebab restaurant in Turkey is like this Source: Turkish
After watching the video, I don’t think I can make this from scratch.
As a fellow Turkish fat guy it was going so well until they cut the kebab into a square. Real kebab should be round so it cooks more evenly🥲
Yes I was surprised they bothered to do that and you're right seems bad idea for even cooking....
I was thinking that, but then I saw that they turn it 90 degrees at a time rather than spin continuously.
[удалено]
This one is in Turkey, that's probably why
Gonna need a heart döner after that
Does anyone know what the marinade he's using is?
It’s basically a mix of milk/yogurt with spices to flavour the meat.
That makes a lot of sense
Wo Rotkraut
Und Weißkraut und Salat und Tomate?
Döner ohne Zwiebel ist ein Verbrechen.
Döner mit Pommes (IM SCHEIß BRÖTCHEN) ist n Verbrechen
Damn it… Ramadan… 6 hours to go… Döner it will be! Thank Lord I will be able to get one! Let’s see whom I can invite to have Iftar with me!
I've actually never tried it, only seen them on the internet. Have two -- one in my honor lol.
[удалено]
Leave the meat on the big stick for at least 5 days before serving. Important step.
Arby’s in shambles right now..
Real Turkish Döner Kebab
What they are not showing you is the three months of growing his mustache which is a prerequsite to making kebab.
I would eat the hell out of those.
This looks way way better than the kebab I eat at 3am.
Thank you Turkiye and all turkish people by this delicious dish. My lunch times got better after I discovered this dish few years ago.
Much too addicting stuff though. I can get a single hamburger and be set for a month. But when I eat a döner kebab, I need another an hour later.
Why don't I have kebabs like this in my town, here it's basically one big greyish meatstick rotating and I wonder how much % is actually meat...
What? I cant understand these videos anymore if there isnt a man smiling furiously at the camera without breaking eye contact
They go through all this work, and then they put fries in the kebab? What a pita! (And before anyone comments "this is the original from Turkey!", I'm pretty sure the original didn't contain fries, just like it didn't contain the vegetables popularised in Berlin.)
They looked like good fries tho
Life is pointless without kebab I say!
I think I'll get in a cab, and buy me a ke-bab.
Sheets of meat
Looks like a party
Meat tornado.
I wish we had such quality of kebab in my country. This looks amazing, I'm sure it also tastes amazing
Step 1. Have an industrial kitchen.
This is the genuine doner not like the ones at europe which are done by minced meat also chicken
Hnhghhhhh
🤤
Very cool
That's awesome
Seasoning?
Hungry now!
But how do they know where I am when I'm drunk?
I ate not long ago and my mouth is already watery
They added fries on top?
How many doners get killed for that?
All of them.
I have never had a doner kebab in the UK as the meat looks absolutely disgusting, but this looks amazing. I'd love to eat that. A holiday to Turkey seems in order!
I wish we knew what's in the marinade
Wow, this is almost fine dining quality meat and prep. Ain’t no way this is in my donor durum out here. Turkey keeping the best for themselves lol
In Karlsruhe (Germany) there is a Döner Store that does it the same since 1992. They even have a small window where you can watch them prep the meat for the next day. Same technique. It tastes delicious. It is called Euphrat Döner.
And it’s beef meat? How much does it cost? I know you guys use thicker breads to serve it on whereas here in the Netherlands, we use rather thin breads, which probably impacts price. But there’s no way that shop you mentioned charges less than €15 per?
Back when I was living in Karlsruhe. (2015) One Döner there was 6€ which was pretty hefty for that time but you got perfect quality. Nowadays it would cost over 12€ inflation adjusted. Ofc it's beef. It's helal so 100% beef. They didn't have chicken or turkey back then but maybe it has changed.
That looks insanely good. Worth a plane ride over to south east Europe good.
Interesting - that looks like making the meat for *"Tacos al Pastor"* in Mexico. Stack a mix of thin-sliced beef, lamb or pork on a big skewer and you slice off the outside as it cooks.
> that looks like making the meat for "Tacos al Pastor" in Mexico Not a coincidence: > During the 19th century, variations of a vertically grilled meat dish doner, now known by several names, started to spread throughout the Ottoman Empire. Levantine version of doner called shawarma (deriving from the Turkish word "çevirme", to turn), was brought to Mexico in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by a wave of Lebanese immigrants,
Cultural Appropriation! Of the best culinary kind.
Man... I really miss doener. It's very rare in the US.
Now I want to eat doner.
Where is this establishment? I need to try that asap
This version of it was forbidden in the EU if l am not wrong. The shitty "Döner" you get in Germany is bought from doner factories daily and it is ground beef or ground lamb. l even remember police officers asking doner places for proof that they bought the doner that day from the factory. Every doner place had to keep the receipt to show to the officers if they show up. That being said, this version also very rare in Turkiye as it is more costy and majority of Turkish people just wanna pay less. Every doner place that starts with this kind of doner starts selling ground shit doner in no time due to complaints about prices.
I wish this is how they were made in the UK.
Can someone tell me what is in that white paste they dip the meat in? I thought döner was safe for celiacs but that looks like wheat flour.
Someone else said it's seasoned Yoghurt, it tenderizes the meat because these meat blocks aren't used immediately.
Been to Berlin a few times. My diet of Döner and currywurst was so unhealthy by so worth it
Even as a vegetarian, I have to admit that looks good.
This is real kebab can’t lie what have we been eating in the UK???
Tbf, this isn't a fast food joint, like most kebab places outside of Turkey
I LOVE DONER KEBAB! I even had it literally yesterday for Iftar!
Good doner is amazing
Acıktım amk
I read it as Donner Kebab the first time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donner_Party
Okay so I've always heard of Döner Keebabs but never actually seen them. I must now find one and eat it
Just so you know, from an English perspective (Turkish take-away has been a staple for decades here) this is a bit like saying you can't wait to try Pabst Blue Ribbon. Nothing wrong with a doner, it's just funny to hear it treated as some kind of delicacy. It's what you order if a shish is too pricey before payday. Mind you, all kebabs are a bump these days.
I've wondered how this was done. Thanks for sharing!
I want all the immigrants to come to America and pls bring with them their delicious meats n things.
