Turkey's application will fail: EU refuses to protect doner recipe
The application by the Turkish doner kebab association Udofed from Istanbul was an attack on the approximately 18,500 doner kebab shops in Germany. It would have meant the end of the popular dish in its current form. But now all kebab fans can breathe a sigh of relief....
....and why the Döner (not kebab you ****) tastes so much better in Berlin!
...Three years ago, the Turkish association submitted an application to the EU to register doner kebabs as a
"guaranteed traditional specialty." The problem: The doner recipes listed in the application are completely different from those used in Germany. All doner kebabs would then have to be produced according to strict Turkish standards - or they would no longer be allowed to be called that.
