      haha Kebab in Sweden is dangerous! Many foreigner "restaurants" have to shut down because of bad hygiene.
      Many of the products used in kebab have missing labels. Labels that should state when it was manufactured. Date of expiry is missing.
      And worst of all, what ingredients are used. This is esp important for people who are allergic to certain food stuff.

      I started learning German in England before reunification and hardly ever used it. Most people where I lived wanted to learn French or Spanish or brush it up because of the ferries to Spain and France as I lived by a ferry port. The German teacher was in England mostly to improve his English. After a year I couldn't find an improver's course. There was only a complete beginner's course or intermediate course for people who had learned German for between 2 and 5 years.
      Nearly every German I met wanted to speak English with me or, if not French. I have even overheard them trying to speak Italian in Milan.

So I tried to speak German and a mixture of Dutch and German came out as I had been in Flanders for the past two weeks. The man behind the counter said I could speak English. He was from Pakistan so learned English before he learned German.

Nope. They wait for an arbitrary light on a timer to tell them its all good. I'm convinced that if cars really were coming from both directions at 150kph, and Amplemann told them to cross, they'd do it and get smoked. Its completely insane.

    On construction in Germany, having lived here for 6 years, I have noticed that public funded construction goes at a snails pace, while private funded construction is beyond amazing fast. Two ends of the spectrum in speed. In Kaiserslautern, the Amazon super-sized warehouse went from breaking ground to operational within a year. Whilst a bridge in Wiesbaden has been in construction for 10 years.

    My first visit to Berlin was as a 17 year old exchange student back in the summer 1989. It was just me and my 16 year old German exchange partner (no adults). Needless to say, it was a different city back then! I still have my DDR travel visas to go from West Germany to West Berlin on the train (and back). We spent a day in East Berlin (via Friedrichstrasse Bf). I went to West Berlin again for a few nights with my full German/English class in the spring of 1990 (wall down, still separate), and the last time was spring of 1999 with my wife. I look forward to travelling there again, hopefully in the next few years. BTW - I love your content.... you have a great mix of funny and informative. Keep up the good work!

    another less known fact is that the Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate) was back then the main gate to the city (out of 18 other city gates) AND that it was created after the Propylaea of Athens Acropolis (also the main gate). Greece has two of such main gates left (keep in mind that there were many 'Acropolis' - the one in Athens is just the most famous one). For Berlin this means: seeing/passing/entering the Brandenburger Tor can give you with this knowledge the relative realistic feeling of how it was to enter in ancient times (especially 500bc - Pericles era) the city of Athens (and the Parthenon Temple). One of the innner German known names for Berlin was 'Spree Athens' (Spree is one of the River in Berlin). The reason for that is that some Prussian kings were inspirated by this time and let build a lot of 'ancient greek like buildings' (from master builder like Schinkel). Many buildings on the Museum Island were also inspired by that (which is why for instance the 'old national gallery' looks like a Greek Temple (not just like a typical 'neo classical' building). Or the Pergamon museum (nomen est omen) etc.... Berlin has in general a lot of ancient Greek like (and later Italian) inspired cultural landscape in and around the city. Some kings liked to create all kind of dreamy places. Look for instance at the 'Normannenturm'/Ruinenberg. Or the Pfingstberg ...

    Yes, the "way of serving" the doner with salad and sauce was created by Turkish immigrants in Berlin in 1971. But doner comes from the older oltu kebap. Oltu is a small town near Erzurum in Turkey. In its original form, the meat was cooked horizontally and the pieces of meat were cut thicker. The current form was created in the 19th century in Bursa. 😋😋

    • @publicminx
      @publicminx 10 місяців тому +2

      no, the current form was created after 'fast food' became a thing. some ingredients are also not Turkish but based on the German/European taste (and ingredients delivery infrastructure). also the technical aspects behind that was exported to other countries (Turkey included). Apart from that: most cultures (also Germany) had already in history the idea of 'rotating vertical (and horizontal anyway)' things combined with a bred like backbone and meat/stuff on it. Gyros means for instance 'spin/rotate'. General rule: all those bread like combinations, from Sandwich to Hamburger to Gyros to Doener/Kebab to all the variations around the world are a quite basic food - which results in being very handy and have the most important stuff as compact 'to go' food. The 'to go' culture itself raised in the West (before that you had a different kind of street food one can sometimes still see in less developed countries)

      @zambination11 10 місяців тому +2

      @@publicminx What you mention is a generalized statement and/or finding and one that is valid to a certain extent but. Νο. The origin of the doner kebab can be traced back to Turkey. The word "döner" in Turkish means "turning" or "rotating," which refers to the method of cooking this dish. Doner kebab is a type of street food that consists of seasoned meat (usually lamb, chicken, beef, or a mixture) stacked on a vertical rotisserie. As the meat cooks, it's slowly turned and roasted on all sides.
      The development of doner kebab as we know it today is attributed to a chef named İskender Efendi, who lived in the late 19th century in the city of Bursa, Turkey. İskender Efendi is said to have popularized the concept of stacking seasoned meat on a vertical rotisserie and then slicing it off as it cooked. He served the thinly sliced meat over pieces of some kind of pita bread from Asia, along with various accompaniment. This dish became known as "İskender kebap," and it's considered one of the early forms of doner kebab.
      Over time, the concept of the doner kebab spread across Turkey and beyond, adapting to local tastes and ingredients in different regions and countries. It became especially popular in Germany and other parts of Europe, where it's often served in a sandwich-like format with pita or flatbread, along with a variety of toppings and sauces. Also Greek immigrants from Asia Minor brought the recipe to Greece at 1930's putting pork as the meat ingredient.
      Today, doner kebab is enjoyed worldwide and has become an iconic and beloved street food in many places. Its origins in Turkey, particularly in Bursa with İskender Efendi's influence, have left a significant mark on its history and development.

      @@zambination11no, dont get confused with the naming. this is due to a Turkish migrant in Germany who liked to name it this way. But the ingredients like for instance the Salad (typical German Salad) you did not have in Turkey. Your story is a made up story (not that this is not vaguely true but the migrant itself did very likely themself not know about it - thats why made up) which could be done for almost every culture looking when a guy or even more ppl made something which looks a bit like a 'doener kebab'. The reality is that the Doener Kebab spread from Berlin through out Germany (and stil. l today there are MUCH MORE such kind of fast food stations in Germany then in Turkey and get back to Turkey. The 'kebab' stations around the world are from Germany - also the ones in Turkey. And as said: people who went to Turkey back then did not get a Kebab of this kind. They got something on a 'plate'. Same is true for many Kebab variations you have in Germany (and not in Turkey, even slowly also spread there). And again: some kind of combination of a Bread with stuff on it you find in all kind of cultures - also in Germany. If it was named 'Berlin Burger' instead of 'Doener Kebab' the discussion - even if it is the same stuff - was different.

    Döner Kebab (Turkish for rotating skewed meat/Drehspießfleisch) was invented in Anatolia, Turkey in the 1850s. Traditionally, lamb döner kebab is served on a plate with rice and grilled vegetables.
    In Germany, they have a sandwich version with beef döner kebab instead of lamb, served with sauces and salad inside a crispy Turkish bread. This is what Germans are talking about when they claim döner was invented in Germany in the 1970s.

One can find in most cultures something 'similar'. No, the Berlin Kebab was invented by intention when the first fastfood wave spread around (Turkey was much less developed that time and had even not a McDonalds). The idea behind the Kebab was to create another Fast food variation for a 'Western/German taste'. Also all the technical infrastructure was made in Germany and later exported. The general idea to combine bread with stuff on it (just like also the German inspired 'Hamburger' - named after Hamburg (Burger = Buerger = citizen, also a cognate of Burg/Castle) was as rather iconic idea already in many cultures spread. In Germany already at medieval times. The Greek Gyros btw, also means 'rotate/spin' ... To rotate things is also an old culture techniques (but not doing that 'automatically' what for instance already in Germany exist in the middle age.

      @@publicminx I have no ties to Turkey and no incentive to "redirect" any cuisine history. I'm just debunking an urban myth that has been doing the rounds in Germany for a few generations. The "dönertasche" fast food sandwich version was invented in Berlin and is actually my favourite snack but the Turkish dish döner kebab predates it by at least a century, obviously well before mcdonalds existed and had nothing to do with fast food culture. The old germans you asked wouldn't have seen anything like a dönertasche in Turkey because they traditionally don't serve döner in bread or with sauces over there.
      It would be more appropriate to say "the dönertasche was invented in Berlin", followed by an explanation of what it is because döner kebab isn't like that everywhere. Here in the UK for example, most einzelhandel kebab shops sell lamb or chicken döner from 100% mincemeat in a polystyrene container. You get another container with iceberg lettuce and another one with chips. You can also have a pot of garlic mayo and a pot of chilli sauce. It's a bit boring and has less flavour compared to the ones in Germany and is mostly sold to drunk people after a night out. People don't usually eat it for lunch. When you tell a brit "kebab was invented in Berlin", thats usually the dish they will think you mean, not the dönertasche. The first UK döner kebab shop was opened in London in the 1940s by turkish immigrants.
      The UK has only known the German style kebabs for less than a decade, since a chain called GDK (german döner kebab) started opening a few branches in major cities. They have flashy, brightly lit mcdonalds-style shops with self-service screens. Most people here think of it as a modern, hipsterized version of the "turkish classic", even though the kebabs we know here aren't the original turkish dish either.
      In Turkey, döner is traditionally also made from lamb, but with only 50% mincemeat and served on a plate with rice and vegetables. Much better.
      The döner in Germany is also a much nicer dish compared to what brits know imo. you get beef or chicken döner, of which less than 60% is mincemeat. It is served in a crispy Turkish bread with traditional turkish yoghurt and spicy sauces and various kinds of salad, sometimes including carrot and red cabbage. Love it! Very nice food but not what everyone in the world thinks of when they hear the term döner kebab and certainly not the first dish to be called that.

    FKK was a big thing in East Germany, especially before reunification. In previous videos, you said it was mostly those in their 50s and 60s who enjoyed it the most as they were young in the 70s. I started to shudder until I realised that all of Rammstein were in their 50s until January this year when their singer turned 60. And he likes naturism especially. They made their Mann Gegen Mann video in 2005 when they were in their mid 30s to early 40s.
    In Germany, it seems to be encouraged, whereas in the UK, the attitude is more 'do that if you must' hence the World Naked Bike Ride every June. It is technically not illegal provided you weren't deliberately causing offence. But if someone accused you of causing offence the burden of proof is on you.

    @biray4710 8 місяців тому

    If I had a penny for every time a German claimed Döner is German. No, it was not invented by the Turkish Immigrants in Germany. İskender döner itself was a thing since the 1800s and the street food version was a thing before Turks migrated to Germany in the 1970s. Immigrants just made what's put in the wrap differently in Germany to better suit the local taste.
    We do not put sauce on the meat because it hides the taste of the meat itself. We believe that if döner has that much sauce, the chef is bad at cooking and is trying to hide it with the sauce. We also usually pair it with tomatoes, french fries and onion instead of salad.

    Berlin became also on of the best food spots in the world. The reason for that is similar to why the French Cuisine became famous - vaguely when the renaissance started. In Berlin it does not just matter that you have food from around the world (actually multi culti is a very 20. century concept - with a bit more experience you sort the reality a bit different and focus more on what counts and what not) but already more next generation concept food - individual creations. And over time they refined in competition more and more every food which is why you get now often not a 'normal version' of something but a highly refined and highest quality product (and often in many variations). Thats also how the French Cousin (Haute Cousin) became famous. It was NOT about a special food but about quality and the technics/knowledge how to do it as best as possible for a full taste experience.
