Why go to Germany to get a Turkish meal? Any kebab in Istanbul is going to be better than whatever is available in Berlin. Better get some Schweinshaxe mit Sauerkraut...

IIRC Döner Kebab Was invented in Berlin...

> The modern sandwich variant of döner kebab originated and was popularized in 1970s West Berlin by Turkish immigrants.

It's still the döner kebab one could buy earlier anywhere in Turkey or MEA just adapted to European city life with different customs and technology. When in Germany visitors should instead taste local dishes not available anywhere else even if they taste weird/bland.

Okay I am German and I can tell you I don't know anyone who prefers Schweinshaxe to a good döner kebab. Which by the way, funnily enough, was invented in Germany by Kadir Nurman, a Berliner!

It's basically our national dish at this point and we're arguably better off for it. Our more traditional cuisine is... not so great.
