I don't know where you guys got that Doner is from Bursa.  Iskender kebab is from there, and I ate it at the place it was invented, but general doner ("to turn") is from the east, around Erzurum.  I think it has some roots in shepherd and pastoralist's fair.  Cag kebabi is from there.

Bursa is really neat, btw.  IDK if it's worth a visit if you are only in Istanbul for a few days, but there's a whole lot of beautiful preserved Ottoman streets and some wonderful very early Ottoman architecture, including the charming Grand Mosque.  Ulu dag, a mountain nearby, is also very pretty.

Seriously?  That was in a quote from Wiki, none of us claimed it, and I posted a link.

Quote from: Admiral Yi on January 31, 2014, 06:08:59 AMSurely there are more Levantines in the UK than Turks.
Actually no. Apparently there's around 500 000 Turkish (or Turkish Cypriot) born in the UK and the Turkish British population'll be even bigger. I'm almost certain the Arab British population is far smaller than that.

I don't know how it is over there but at least in my hometown not a single kebab shop is actually run by turks, it's mostly assorted indian subcontinent people.

Best kebab I've ever had was from this little place right outside St. Clement Basilica in Rome. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.  :licklips:

Edit: in all seriousness, this quiz needs a subsection, Which Area of London Should You Live?

I got Clapham. :unsure:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.
