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.

    Then you should have contacted the authorities

    I’ll let someone with more skin in the game take care of it. If people notice, they’ll go somewhere else, if they don’t, then I guess that shop gets away with it.

    I thought the sizes were pretty big. It’d end up looking like a steak burrito
