The state of the german economy 😂 they are increasing the military budget at this moment, where would they get money to subsidize kebabs.

This article almost feels like an Onion article, the german left is a joke.

Gotta keep the bread part of “bread and circuses” affordable to keep the masses docile if you want to go to war…

i’d definitely prefer throwing my life away in a war than eating German food, kebabs is the only good food they have and it’s not even from germany.

Eh…German food is ok. At least it’s not British food.

And yes it absolutely reads like an Onion headline but sadly it’s real. Instead of pushing for an end to this government’s insane warmongering policies and suicidal sanctions, the “left” has been reduced to begging for fast food subsidies…it really is pathetic.

Unfortunately yes. Nowadays they are basically what the socdems used to be. Meanwhile the “socdems” have gone full neoliberal.

What exactly are kebabs here? We have kebabs in Indian Mughlai cuisine as well but I don’t know if they are same ones or not.

It’s called “döner” in German.

Strictly speaking the kebab is just the meat and it’s similar to Greek gyros. In this case they are referring to the whole döner sandwich which includes pita bread and vegetables. It’s a popular German fast food item with Turkish roots.

I saw these in a Canadian city once but they were called shawarmas.

Basically the same thing except shawarmas sometimes have french fries in them and that’s something you will never see in a proper döner.

Kebabs are a traditional barbequed meat from the Middle East, the word originated in Akkadian.

Doner Kebab is a Turkish barbequed meat similar in style to Shawarma and Gyros and unlike traditional kebabs.
