We moved to Germany. Berlin is a kebab paradise and the people who run those counters rock. They’ll chat with us and our poor German, fix up a great meal, and it’s always tasty to eat.
As a semi-middle eastern person who grew up with access to real Turkish cuisine, seeing German/European style döner makes cry. Not only they dare to put lettuce/cabbage in it at all, it’s like 60% of the content. It took me years to find proper döner in Poland, but now I finally know 2 places.
I have this but with Simit. Done Erasmus in Istanbul (a lifetime ago, before Erdogan), the Simit from the street vendors and small bakeries … Ooof. Haven’t found any that can even remotely compare since 😿

Mit alles und scharf?
Für mich? Alles und sehr scharf!
Fùr meine Ehefrau? Kein rotkohl und kein scharf, aber beiden gemüse und pommes, bitte.
Alles er op en er aan alstublieft! - “Everything on and on top please!”
