After the second world war, Turkish guest workers were invited to Germany but it wasn’t until 1972 that a certain Mr Kadir Nurman invented the Döner Kebap for Berliners on the move. He set up a stall in West Berlin selling simple grilled meats with salad in a flatbread called kebaps and it was so popular that the idea was copied all over Europe. Kebaps are Germany’s national dish and outsell other street foods by 3 to 1. There are now over 40,000 outlets in Germany and over 1,000 in Berlin alone with some people estimating that may be more than Istanbul!
