The European Commission gave Turkiye and Germany six months to
clarify the cooking method and recipe of doner kebab, as well as to
determine whose national dish it is, Azernews
repors.
Earlier, representatives of Turkiye asked the EU authorities to
protect the traditional method of doner preparation. Ankara insists
that the dish must be prepared from specially pickled and sliced
meat. Also, certain types of it should be used for the dish - only
chicken, beef and lamb, but not turkey and veal.
At the same time, in Germany, where the dish was popularized by
Turkish migrants, doner is served not in pita bread, but in a pit,
and with the addition of cabbage or lettuce, and it is also poured
with garlic sauce. In the homeland of the dish, on the contrary, a
rice substrate is used, and cheese, French fries, tomatoes and hot
peppers are also added.
If Turkiye manages to consolidate its doner cooking standards,
Germany will have to serve the dish familiar to Germans under a
different name. According to the publication, doner sales in the EU
bring in about 3.5 billion euros per year, 2.3 of them in Germany
itself. If the parties do not reach an agreement in six months,
Brussels will independently make a decision for them.
