Mahmut Aygun, was suffering from cancer and died in Berlin at the age of 87.
Known as the "kebab king" he was born in Turkey and moved to Germany at the age of 16 to open a snack stall. He invented the doner kebab nearly 40 years ago. Kebab meat, consisiting of roast lamb and spices, had traditionally been served with rice but in a moment of inspiration Mr Aygun saw that the future lay in putting the meat inside a pitta bread. That allowed customers who had been drinking to wander off into the night with their food and eat it as they stumbled home. Mr Aygun once said: "I thought how much easier it would be if they could take their food with them." The first of the new snacks was served on March 2, 1971, at Hasir, his restaurant in Berlin. It was called a doner kebab after the Turkish word "dondurmek" which means a rotating roast. Mr Aygun went on to invent the yoghurt sauce often served with a doner kebab. The subsequent popularisiation of the doner kebab in the UK led to many traditional fish and chip shops going bust. In Berlin his death was greeted with sadness and one headline read: "Thanks, Mahmut!" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddr...-has-died.html I don't mind a Lamb Sandwich every now & again!

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. Last edited by Burnedout; 20-01-2009 at 10:10 PM. |

dont know whether the greeks invented it first( i am a greek but the oldies will always say the greeks did first lol) . IMO yeeros taste better cos you get them with tzatziki which tastes better than the runny "garlic sauce" you get with a kebab. Also to clear something up, a souvlaki (souvlakia) is not a yeeros/kebab. Souvlaki is the meat on a stick (skewer). For good Yeeros in syd you cant go past Victoria Yeeros at marrickville. Big, juicy and taste awesome...mmm lamb with salad, cheese, and tzatziki...might have to get one this week end
