      Das ist in den USA normal. Ein McChicken von McDonals ist in den USA einfach ein Chicken Sandwich. Genauso wie Amis zu Pizza auch oft einfach Pizza Pie sagen. Natürlich ist eine Pizza keine Torte aber der Aufbau ist theoretisch der selbe. In Deutschland sagste ja auch Flammkuchen, obwohl du niemals sagen würdest dass das ein Kuchen ist.

      @@p.gin3955 if the chicken is ground, it will be called a chicken burger. If it's a chunk of breast meat, it'll be called a sandwich.
      So you can have a regular burger, which is ground beef, but you can also have a roast beef sandwich, which is sliced beef put between two slices of bread. Just about anything put in bread would be considered a type of sandwich in the US.
      Usually only ground, possibly spiced, meat that is formed into a patty is considered a burger, and if it is anything other than beef, the type of meat it is will usually preface the word burger, whereas beef burgers are usually just referred to as a burger.
      Edited to add: there's also black bean/veggie burgers (mix of ground beans or veggies based items and spices formed into a patty).

The street food there was good, but sometimes you have that crave for the thing you know... you know? Then suddenly, a Döner (not Kebab - Döner!) opened up in our City (Cork). I've never seen such a long queue at a Döner stand - mostly Germans, ofc. It was worth it. That relief on the taste buds! XD

    Long before the Döner became popular in Germany, the greek Gyros Pita was the most popular "sandwich " in Germany. It was very similar to the Döner, but used fatty pork meat instead of lamb (the chicken variant came much later).
    And because the Döner was seasoned way better (instead of just salt and tzatziki), the Turkish rotisserie meat grill conquered Germany.

    About the meat in germany it depends on region if you have lamb or beef and chicken for selection ... Probadly you can also make it with pork, but for me this wouldn't be authentic considering the turkish rules, and there relation to eating pork. Even chiicken isn't a real döner, but widely used.
    About the bread, you can take such a big fladenbrot, but i prefer döner makers who make the bread themself and fresh (like you did) and then they usually make a smaller bread for a single Döner in a 'pizza oven', so usally with a very high temperature.
    I wouldn't put mayo in sauce, and more garlic ;)

  • @Kamakiri711
    @Kamakiri711 Рік тому +53

    The reason germans pronounce the -er in Döner like an ah is because it is a Schwa sound. A Schwa is basically an ah or eh sound at the end of a word that ends with an r. Like Tiger, Uhr. (There are more instances of use but I´ll keep it short)
    It comes from the hebrew shva, which is a vowel thats written under a letter and symbolizes a short eh sound.
    English has it to, the a-schwa is a near-open central vowel, symbolized like this: ɐ. Like in nut [nɐt]
    Anyway, anyone interested in this linguistic phenomenon can find more infos on wikipedia.
    Edit: To clarify. It is an unstressed (unbetont) sound. ə for the e schwa. Like in Schule.

    • @Emma-Maze
      @Emma-Maze Рік тому +3

      I know about the shwa but it's simply not true to me that there's an "-ah" sound with these words, if someone pronounces Tiger as Tigah, Döner as Dönah or Uhr as Uah they're either speaking one of a few German dialects (i. e. North German dialects originating from Plattdeutsch) or simply sound *extremely* silly in German xD The "r" at the end of words is definitely audible as an r, some people even roll it in theor throat a bit ^^

    In Germany we say:
    "An erster stelle freu ich mich einfach für mehmet, digga"
    For the non Germans: The most famous German streamer made a Döner Shop in his hometown semi famous and than said: "First of all I'm just happy for Mehmet (the shop owner)". It kinda became a German meme.

    well as for the meat, they usually use equal parts ground meat and equal parts thin layers of meat. Not only to be on the budget side but also to help keep the meat together and get this unique texture. There are tons of Döner places here in Germany that use way too much ground meat though.

    Döner in Turkish means the same thing as Gyros in Greek (think Gyroscope): something that spins around. I think it started in Bursa and is called Iskandar Kebab, and the Turks took it along to Germany and made their own version. Most places in Germany just get it pre-made in a factory on a skewer. Very few shops assemble it themselves. There is a German documentary regarding this.

    When I was in Germany I had several Döner Kebabs and they were on something like Kiser rolls with lettuce, onion dipped in herbs, crushed red pepper(optional), and a cucumber sauce(yogurt base). He would then toast it in something like a panini press and cut in half. Pair that with a Hefeweizen or Dunkelweizen and presto, food nirvana. This flat bread version with all the extras is something I never saw. Not to say it’s not like that there but not where I was.
    Oh and the meat was turkey where I was. He would hand slice raw turkey every morning to put on his rotisserie. Pure perfection. 👌

For the red sauce you can also add eggplant cooked in the same way as the red peppers or you can barbeque them(közlemek in Turkish for better understanding you can look at the google pictures). One of the turkish doner places have the eggplant version and it adds so much to the sauce it's definetly worth a try.

    The Döner is just the perfect food in my opinion: it has calories, bread, meat, vegetables and salad as well as homemade sauces, it's almost always cheaper then subway or McDonald's (a döner costs 3.50€ in my town of Stuttgart) and a skilled "dönermann" can make a döner in less then a minute. And it's so simple: they only ask you three questions : "mit allem?" meaning "with everything?", then "mit scharf?" meaning "with hot (sauce)?" and then "zum mitnehmen?" meaning "to go? “. Then they tell you" dreifuffzich", you pay and you get a glorious full meal sandwich thingy wrapped in tinfoil. Doesn't matter if it's late in the evening , if your returning from a club at seven in the morning hungover and broke or if your returning from a late shift, even on holy days and weekends: there's always an open döner.
