I still remember the first time I tried Turkish food. Greek food is potentially the closest equivalent for those of you who have never tried Turkish. Kebab is my favorite food for when I am on the go. To this day, I cannot help but smile when I get Turkish food. It is such a comfort food for me. I try to limit myself to one or two kebab a week, but if I have a really tough day, I go to the kebab place next to my apartment. The workers there already know how I like my falafel and kebab.
Kebab meat is cooked on a giant rotating skewer. Traditional toppings include tzatziki, red cabbage, cucumber, tomato and hot pepper flakes. There are several different forms of kebab: flatbread, yufka (comes in a wrap), and plate (no bread; deconstructed). Most kebab places also serve other, less familiar classics, like Köfte, which are seasoned meat patties that are served in the same forms as kebab (flatbread, yufka, or plate).
Germans love to eat ecologically friendly—whether that means eating organic or buying eggs fresh from the farm. Many food options here are available in vegetarian and vegan versions. Germany also strictly regulates what goes into food, meaning that there are generally fewer preservatives and artificial dyes in products.
