      During his last visit, Steinmeier served Erdogan döner kebabs. That was Turkey’s retaliation. It failed.

      to be honest, the things being sold as “doner” in most of the EU countries are just a disappointment. in Turkey you would get beaten by the angry customers if you try to sell those there. no I am not joking.

      What we now know as Döner Kebab all over Europe was invented in Berlin, not in Turkey.

      They asked the rooster which came first, the chicken or the egg, and he said, ‚F*** that shit bro,i have no time for this, I’ll just f*** and go

      i enjoy doner and i dont care if its German or Turk.Doner is doner xD

      The little jab at Turkey by refusing to adapt their rebranding attempt to Turkiye is the icing on the cake.

      Kebab is a German dish derived from Turkish food. Where does Turkey get off thinking they could force Europeans to regulate it to becomes something it’s not.

      Damn, the EU rejecting regulating something? That’s a first.

      Just translate it into your own language like everyone else does (Greeks) and call it das Gemischrotationsvertikalspießfleischbehaartenmanneszubereitetes

      I don’t believe it. Turkey with the second biggest army in NATO never backs down on anything.

      I could get behind a term like „Turkish Döner“ being protected, but it’s too late to say that the generic term „Döner“ should be restricted to the Turkish definition.

      Honestly, I understand where this is coming from for the Turks. As an Englishman who loves cheese, it pains me to see what’s described as „Cheddar“ around the world, but it’s too late to try to change that.

      > A Turkish attempt to force kebab shops in the EU to adhere to strict rules on how to make a doner kebab has been withdrawn.

      It’s kind of funny how, since more than a decade, Turkey behaves like it is part of the EU.

      No, actually, it’s rather annoying.

      Unless they are patenting the name of the region/city I don’t think they can ban it. What law would this fall under? We can get feta cheese from other regions still. Just call it something else and that’s that. People would get used to the new name and then what will Turkey do?

      I kinda get why Turkey is angry. But I find the whole thing funny.

      Turkish doner is totally different and it is based on high quality meat in reality. European kebab is a full of sauce and salad or fries which is meat quality is not a priority. One is high quality burger and other is mcdonalds. Kebab is of course turkish food, however I believe that varities are super welcomed

      That’s hilarious. Just imagine if Italy tried that for pizza, or pasta carbonara.
      If Germany tried that for sauerkraut (go to the US to get the most unexpected stuff served as sauerkraut. Argentina has funny ideas about it, too), Japan about sushi, Korea about Kimchi, Spain about paella, … can you even begin to imagine the fights Denmark, France and Austria would have about pastries? I’d pay to watch!

      Make a counter-proposal that all kebab should contain at least 1% fat from pigs, just to show how utterly ridiculous all that crap is

    23. IronPeter on

      To be fair, this is what European countries do to each others all the time. You cannot call your product with my name because it doesn’t come from my country, like feta, panettone ecc ecc

      The catch of course is that Turkey is not in the EU

    24. Herameaon on

      OK nobody in r/Europe is going to listen to me, but döner existed before 1970. Some Turkish guy didn’t invent döner in Berlin in 1970. My Turkish grandfather ate döner in his youth. Some guys decided to put it in a loaf of bread (though we put it in a different kind of bread before and still do, which you’ll see if you visit Turkey). I think deciding to put sth in a different kind of bread is hardly enough innovation to count as inventing a new dish

      Edit: If you don’t believe me, read the BBC and see for yourselves that döner was depicted in 17th century Turkish depictions of the Shahname: https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20241028-the-meat-fuelled-food-fight-between-turkey-and-germany

      I’ve just returned from Germany, kebab shops outnumbered all other restaurants and fast food places, and they were bloody good!

    27. blondie1024 on

      I’d hate to see the bloodshed in the war over who owns ‚Curry‘.

      Caribbeans vs Thais, Indians, Sri Lankans, Vietnamese, Africans, Indonesia.

      …..And then the Scotts enter the fight with the Tikka Masala.

      It would be the first legal World War.

    28. Bujambek on

      The real and better döner is in germany. Turk ppl should learn from Germans how to make real döner.

    29. No_Diver3540 on

      Don’t see an issue. We do things like this all the time in the EU. 

      The only issue is, Turkey is doing it. 

      Sometimes I hate our double standards. And sometimes I love it. 

    30. BellesCotes on

      Couldn’t people just get around the rules by changing the name slightly?

      In my part of Canada we have „donairs“, which are based on doner kebab, but also quite different.

    32. GalacticMe99 on

      If they think German Kebab is unorthodox wait till they hear about the Dutch ‚kapsalon‘
