History & cultural context

Döner kebab — meat stacked and roasted on a vertical spit — is widely credited to 19th-century Ottoman Turkey, with some accounts specifically naming a cook in Bursa; however, historians note that vertical spit-roasting techniques existed earlier in the region, and the precise moment the modern döner format was "invented" isn't settled with full certainty, so this should be treated as the most commonly repeated account rather than an unequivocally documented fact. Döner went on to become one of Turkey's most recognized culinary exports, later inspiring related dishes worldwide (including Greek gyro and Arab shawarma).
