German producers have sparked a dispute by filing an opposition to a Turkish application to grant the döner kebab’s special status at the EU level, initiating a six-month period to resolve disagreements.
A Turkish application to the European Commission for the döner kebab to be given similar EU recognition as the Neapolitan pizza and Spain’s jamon serrano has been opposed by Germany, sources close to the issue have told Euronews.
As reported, in April Türkiye filed an application to register the name döner in Europe so that it can be used only by those producers conforming to the registered production method and product specifications.
The mental acrobatics to frame this as some German effort to claim cultural heritage over the dish… The main pushback on this did not come from the German ministry, but from the fast food restaurants, which are almost exclusively operated by people with Turkish roots. I would actually appreciate a return to the meat made from higher quality beef slices instead of the modern ground meat abominations, but your comment is just an insanely biased take on the proposal. Also, “Frankfurter Würstchen” is only protected by origin inside of Germany, not at the EU-level and Sausage has been around since ancienct times. This kind of arbitrary bullshit about origins, cultural heritage and drawing meaningless lines in the sand is exactly what the EU PDO is often criticized for.
Exactly. It would also be very rude and ignorant to disregard the input of the turkish community in germany, that had a major role in making the Döner what it is now.
Also if you are in Berlin or Stuttgart and want a change from cheap meat try Doen Doen. It is the best vegan Döner i have had and i tried many (and many were bad).
I know it is off topic but could you tell me what instance the top level comment is from, because all i see is “there is no record of this comment” which has something to do with feddit.org i guess but it annoys me because it happens so often.
