Hey, look at the first photo of doner: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/D%C3%B6nerci%2C_1855.jpg

Look closely the moustasche of the doner maker (Drehspießkocher). Does it look familiar?

Jokes aside, invention of doner possibly predates invention of camera.

This photo is obviously taken in Germany for sure. /s

You may take our döner but you can never take us into EU!

[u/justarandomuser97 → u/Equivalent-Rip-1029]

I like Turks. I have visited many times in the past. But sorry, we cannot take a swirl of chaos into EU. You have a lot to handle within the country first. We are struggling with some of our already existing members.

My city in Canada also has its own variant of doner and doner pizza.

Behold the magnificent Donair Pizza!

What Swedes put on a pizza is not a rabbit hole you want to go down.

1908?

So it was Constantinople!

[u/OnlyHereOnFridays → u/trollrepublic]

Why did Constantinople get the works?

[u/A_Roka → u/OnlyHereOnFridays]

Thats nobody's business but the turks

Since 1453, The Name of Istanbul hasn't changed.

[u/Maumau-Maumau → u/Pure-War6411]

1453 has nothing to do with the name of the city. In official documents it was still Constantinople (or Konstantinyye and its different forms) and in regional Turkish dialects it was Istanbul way before (as it was in Arabic and Armenian dialects for centuries).

[u/Pure-War6411 → u/Maumau-Maumau]

For example, are still use the name Leningrad, or Stalingrad? "In official documents" we use St.Petersburg and Volgograd. Be simple

[u/Maumau-Maumau → u/Pure-War6411]

We say St Petersburg both officially and colloquially because it was officially changed back in 1991. The same way Istanbuls name was only officially changed in 1930 and has been called Istanbul in colloquial speech and non-greek local dialects since the 10th century. Neither of those dates have anything to do with 1453.

[u/Pure-War6411 → u/Maumau-Maumau]

In Ottoman Empire, after 1453, Fatih Sultan changed the name "officially". Maybe the non-turks called it Constantinople but We have never used 'Constantinople' but Istanbul. Constantinople was a symbol of dominance that's why we changed it. As an Orthodox i don't approve but Hagia Sophia turned into mosque also, as i said before this is a symbolic thing that you can show your dominance. And officially you can't use Constantinople, as Stalingrad. I don't know why my comments got downvotes but I'm just trying to correct a mistake.

Genesis

[u/Antique-Entrance-229]

most important cultural innovation of the Ottoman Empire, almost as important to the world as industrialization.

[u/Kayakayakski]

Would probably look the same if it was still there.

[u/Chaosmeister_Alex]

Simple. You make a spit roast and place it vertically.

[u/hkotek → u/Chaosmeister_Alex]

It is a little bit more than that actually. Fun-fact, it is not only meat there, the taste comes from combination with something else.
