Subject: Kadir Nurman inventor of the doner kebab dies in Berlin aged 80
Written By: Philip Eno on 10/26/13 at 10:27 am
The man who invented the doner kebab has died at the age of 80.
Turkish immigrant Kadir Nurman is widely credited as the inventor of the meal - popular with drunken revellers every weekend.
Mr Nurman, who emigrated to Germany in 1960, set up a food stall in West Berlin in 1972 where he began selling the meal.
He realised how fast-paced life in Berlin was and began to sell the meal so people in the city could carry it with them.
Since them, the kebab became a firm favourite of people in Germany and around the world.
As reported by the BBC, his efforts as a possible "doner" inventor were recognised by the Association of Turkish Doner Manufacturers in 2011.
However, Mr Nurman did not patent his invention and so did not cash in on a potential huge fortune.
There are now believed to be about 16,000 doner outlets in Germany - including 1,000 in Berlin alone.

I loved doner kebab when I was stationed in Germany, and the part about it being popular with drunken revelers is 100% correct.
Then again, I think pretty much all German cuisine was created to be popular with drunken revelers. :D
