You mean like Turkish prisons?

And what’s with the umlauts? I thought that was a German thing.

Sounds more like some kind of sex joke or something.

The only specialties I know of are Turkish Taffy and Turkish Baths. And Turkish Taffy is as Turkish as Russian Dressing is Russian.

Used to get those in Germany. They called them Kebap.

Giro meat.

Beg pardon. Is it gyros, a Greek dish.

Also, never order Turkish coffee in a Greek restaurant, even if you think you see the people at the next table having some.

Only kebabs adhering to strict criteria could be called döner kebabs

Talk about a slippery slope.

The party's just starting. They're just getting shawarmed up.

Only kebabs adhering to strict criteria could be called döner kebabs – and Berlin’s more portable version would not pass the test.

now this is dumb. It's like saying only certain ingredient pizza can be called pizza. Just drop the 'doner' from the name and call it a day. Or add shawarma or Ottoman-style to kebab and run with it. There's obviously not enough global warming going on in Turkey for them to be worrying about names for snacks.

I enjoyed the doner kebab offerings from street vendors in Frankfurt, Germany. Oddly, I never had anything similar when I was working in Izmir. The food was good. I did indulge in the salted yogurt. The doner kebab I had in Frankfurt was essentially an Indian naan bread wrapped around gyros meat and squirted with a runny yogurt similar to tzatziki sauce.

Whew, some people go overboard with their sandwiches and pizza (I clicked the link over to Neapolitan pizza rules and regulations). So, change the name to slightly and get on with business and happy customers. Life would sure be boring if cooking became regulated and no creativity.

I’ve got some distracted thrown together mess of dough rising for some pizza today because I’m all out of cheddar (no!!!) but had some cheapo Great Value mozz and pepperoni in the freezer both needing to be used. Have a half a can of spaghetti sauce and basil on the window sill so it’s pizza night. There’s a pizza contest at the site but they’d turn their noses up for sure and ban me from ever making pizza again.
