It was made in Germany so it is inherently German. No one in the UK calls tikka masala indian
Doner kebab is german

Actually it's theirs.
A guy from Scotland invented tikka masala so it is a uk dish
So he can't be scottish just bec he's muslim?
So nyc mayor Mamdani isn't American just because he's muslim right?
brother he wasn't born in scotland, all the influence for the dish came from his indian heritage
i mean depends on what style no ? i mean i can eat raw salmon and rice seperated and it isnt sushi even tho its the same ingredients
Different style doesn’t change the origin.
Döner meat cooked on a vertical spit was invented in the Ottoman Empire long before it came to Germany.
The German version is just an adaptation made by Turkish immigrants. Your sushi example doesn’t work the same way.
Raw salmon + rice alone isn’t sushi because sushi has specific preparation methods.
Döner already has its own specific method (the vertical spit), and that method is Turkish
nothing is original then any rice cooked is chinese/indian then. bc thats the way it got made in the origin
That’s not how it works.
Cooking rice is a basic technique used all over the world.
Döner is a specific dish with a specific technique (vertical spit + layered meat) that was invented in the Ottoman Empire.
By your logic pizza isn’t Italian because flatbreads with toppings existed before, and sushi isn’t Japanese because rice and fish existed earlier.
Origin of a specific dish still matters
side note, the salmon that are native to Japan weren't considered safe to eat raw, the raw parasite free salmon came from norwegians wanting to sell their stuff bcs they had a lot
It may have been made in Germany, but its soul lies with the Turkish. Same with Tikka Masala.
That's kinda how the food culture works. Food gets exchanged between different cultures and people of certain culture modify it according to their taste and the new version becomes part of that culture. That's how lot of the cuisines in Asia came to be.
Is it not same with chicken Tikka masla or donar kebab? Idk about donar kebab but at least haven't seen Indians call UK version of chicken Tikka masla Indian.
Everything in Europe is intrinsically authentic with no influence. USA could never
1 - Döner invented in Turkey/Ottoman Empire, not germany. Type of bread and sauces cant change the origin of the food
2 - If i put sushi inside a Turkish style bread with different sauces and start selling it as a Turkish dish, does that make the sushi a Turkish food?
If you do that to a sushi it's not a sushi anymore lol. You can call that thing Turkish if you like. Also since you gave the example of sushi would you say kimbap is just sushi? Kimbap was influenced by sushi but is still Korean. Same is with the sandwich form of doner kebab which was created by Turkish immigrants in Germany not turkiye. It's part of German culture. You can call it German-Turkish dish.
Nope, Döner is only a Turkish dish with a Turkish name buddy. It has nothing to do with Germany. As i said, the type of bread cant change the origin of the food. They should stick to schnitzel or smh. Turks were already eating this while Germans still had no idea what döner was
Never said doner just the kebab or meat thing is German. But the sandwich version of it is certainly created in Germany. It's like Chicago deep dish pizza. Pizza is Italian creation but that particular style of pizza is for sure an American creation. I don't think Italians would claim chicago deep dish pizza as Italian.
Well that's their problem then, No Turk would ever call döner a german or german-turkish dish, cuz it isn’t
its both, idk why people think everything has to be one cultures cuisine
its a turkish and german dish
Nope its not, Kebab and Döner both Turkish. And Döner wasn't invented in germany, it was invented in ottoman empire, bursa city. Type of bread and and sauces cant change the origin of the food
nah its obviously turkish, a german could never create something as beautiful as the kebab
its purely a turkish dish
take a look at the rest of german cuisine and then look me dead in the eyes and tell me that a german wouldve came up with döner
