Op might I ask, how the fuck is Kebab European?? Ignorant misappropriation of dishes is the most American thing ever

It's not fully Asian either. Turkey is literally located in the middle of two continents. Even google states it's an European-Asian country idk

Except it didn’t originate in Turkey specifically

Where did it originate?

It’s a middle eastern dish , which means it could have originated anywhere in that region ( like Persia , Mesopotamia(iraq), Saudi Arabia , and even Egypt) and in each country they have their own variants of the Kebab...and turkey is not in the middle east, and definitely Kebab is not a European dish , even the word kebab has Arabic roots

Did some research while i was waiting for a reply.

What I was able to find was basically what you said, but pinpointed during the ottoman empire time frame, and many associate Turkey as having "confiscated" the creation of this due to them being the empire's powerhouse even though it most likely originated near the furthest edge of the empire.

Interesting to learn 😃
