Doner kebab 'inventor' Kadir Nurman dies in Berlin
« on: October 26, 2013, 21:09:26 PM »
"The Turkish immigrant credited with inventing the doner kebab has died in Berlin aged 80. Kadir Nurman set up a stall in West Berlin in 1972, selling grilled meat and salad inside a flat bread. He had noticed the fast pace of city life and thought busy Berliners might like a meal they could carry with them".

The sliced meat of a Doner kebab may be served wrapped in a flatbread such as lavash or pita or as a sandwich instead of being served on a plate. The modernised version of the Doner kebab was first served in the UK in 1966 at a kebab shop in London called the Hodja Nasrettin, and was owned by Cetin Bukey. .[2] It is a common fast food item in the Balkans, Middle East, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Seasoned meat in the shape of an inverted cone is turned slowly against a vertical rotisserie, then sliced vertically into thin, crisp shavings. Toppings include tomato, onion, lettuce, pickled cucumber and chili.

I believe he was cremated vertically in a clockwise direction.

I bet he's turning, very slowly, in his grave.
