but it kinda doesn’t matter where it was invented

It absolutely maters where it was invented, that’s why things like the Geographical indications and traditional specialities in the European Union laws exist, and trying to erase the cultural origin of something is an attack of the actual originator of that culture.

Even though the actual origins are within turkey, I don’t mind it if Armenians, Iranians, Arabs and Greeks claim that the döner is part of their cuisine. They themselves make it in their countries and when they migrate, and it’s a part of their culture too, through being part of the ottoman empire; there’s been cultural interchange and mingling between those peoples to a degree where it has become deserved.

There is no “Hans Döner” who grew up working in his dad’s Kebab shop. German migrants do not set up independent kebab shops to survive in the country they immigrate to in order to escape persecution or economic troubles or whatever back home.

If you want to call that particular sandwich a “Berlin style Döner”, sure , whatever. Döner is not a German invention, nor a part of german cuisine, since germans themselves do not make it, they just buy it.

Otherwise, fuck it, Frankfurters are a famous turkish invention. Pınar has been manufacturing quality sausages since 1985, and because I want it to be, that’s where Frankfurters were invented.
