Türkiye and Germany argued over the preparation of doner kebab
The European Commission gave Turkey and Germany six months to clarify the preparation method and recipe for doner kebab, as well as decide whose national dish it is.
Ankara insists that the dish must be cooked in pita bread or on a bed of rice, with special cuts and marinade. Moreover, only from chicken or beef, but in no case from turkey.
At the same time, in Germany, where the dish was popularized by Turkish migrants, doner is served not in pita bread, but in pita bread, with the addition of cabbage or lettuce, and the whole thing is topped with garlic sauce.
If Turkey manages to consolidate its standards for preparing doner, in Germany it will be necessary to serve the dish familiar to Germans under a different name.
