Kebabs

Over 75,000 have chosen Turkish kebab as the best national food in Europe in a survey conducted to reveal the most liked grub among the participating countries of EURO 2024, according to the Daily Mail.

Danish People's Party (DPP), a nationalist-conservative party in Denmark, has lashed out at Turkish club Vatanspor for selling doner kebab at a stadium in Aarhus, the country's second biggest city, the daily Milliyet has reported.

"Traditionally, pork sausages are sold at Danish stadiums. This would disintegrate society," said Pia Kjaersgaard, the leader of the party.

A restaurant in the Black Sea province of Tokat is serving an unusual and novel type of döner kebab made entirely of salmon fish.

Döner kebabs are usually made of meat or chicken and cooked on a vertical rotisserie.

Prosecutors in the Central Anatolian province of Konya are seeking two to 15 years in jail for two dairy workers after they bathed in milk.

"One suspect put hot water and milk into a tank, got inside and took a bath. The other suspect filmed him," the indictment said.

After bathing in milk, the suspects pour milk to the floor of the dairy plant, according to the indictment.

Some 30,000 shops sell around a total of 900,000 kilograms of traditional döner kebab each day across Turkey, making a great contribution to the local economy, according to the head of a trading group.

"Döner makers are also the main players in the local meat market as they create strong demand," Muhammet Nezif Emek, the head of Döner Shop Owners' Association, told Anadolu Agency.

Souvlaki, the traditional Greek fast food popular among locals and visitors alike, will soon suffer a 10-15 percent price hike, kebab shop owners are warning.

The reason for this sudden increase - which could take prices up to 3 euros per pitta-wrapped kebab - is the significant rise in the price of pork, which the meat industries and kebab shop owners can no longer absorb.
