Bread.....something inside....it's à sandwich it's the generic Word....à hamburger....à croque monsieur....à panini are sandwiches for me

[@forgingstrength6119]

@@p.gin3955 if the chicken is ground, it will be called a chicken burger. If it's a chunk of breast meat, it'll be called a sandwich. So you can have a regular burger, which is ground beef, but you can also have a roast beef sandwich, which is sliced beef put between two slices of bread. Just about anything put in bread would be considered a type of sandwich in the US. Usually only ground, possibly spiced, meat that is formed into a patty is considered a burger, and if it is anything other than beef, the type of meat it is will usually preface the word burger, whereas beef burgers are usually just referred to as a burger. Edited to add: there's also black bean/veggie burgers (mix of ground beans or veggies based items and spices formed into a patty).

Long before the Döner became popular in Germany, the greek Gyros Pita was the most popular "sandwich " in Germany. It was very similar to the Döner, but used fatty pork meat instead of lamb (the chicken variant came much later). And because the Döner was seasoned way better (instead of just salt and tzatziki), the Turkish rotisserie meat grill conquered Germany.

[@truckwarrior5944]

Actually it conquered Germany cause you can just take it with you and eat it on the go. The Gyros Pita was generally eaten on a plate with knife and fork, the Döner is held completely in the bread so you can eat it without cutlery on the go.

About the bread, you can take such a big fladenbrot, but i prefer döner makers who make the bread themself and fresh (like you did) and then they usually make a smaller bread for a single Döner in a 'pizza oven', so usally with a very high temperature. I wouldn't put mayo in sauce, and more garlic ;)

[@Kamakiri711]

The reason germans pronounce the -er in Döner like an ah is because it is a Schwa sound. A Schwa is basically an ah or eh sound at the end of a word that ends with an r. Like Tiger, Uhr. (There are more instances of use but I´ll keep it short) It comes from the hebrew shva, which is a vowel thats written under a letter and symbolizes a short eh sound. English has it to, the a-schwa is a near-open central vowel, symbolized like this: ɐ. Like in nut [nɐt] Anyway, anyone interested in this linguistic phenomenon can find more infos on wikipedia. Edit: To clarify. It is an unstressed (unbetont) sound. ə for the e schwa. Like in Schule.

[@Emma-Maze]

I know about the shwa but it's simply not true to me that there's an "-ah" sound with these words, if someone pronounces Tiger as Tigah, Döner as Dönah or Uhr as Uah they're either speaking one of a few German dialects (i. e. North German dialects originating from Plattdeutsch) or simply sound *extremely* silly in German xD The "r" at the end of words is definitely audible as an r, some people even roll it in theor throat a bit ^^

[@sonicyouthrecords]

@@Emma-Maze Unfortunately, thats not correct. Kamakiri is right, all these words are pronounced with a schwa in high German. But the Schwa also doesn‘t sound like an -ah (youre right, that would sound very silly). It is quite soundless. In the vid, he’s overdoing it a little, but he pronounes in perfect high German still.

TottiKarotti Versteh mich nicht falsch. Im Grunde ist ein Döner auch ein Sandwich. Auf der anderen Seite ist ein Burger ja auch ein Sandwich, wird aber von den meißten nicht als solches benannt. Das Gleiche mit einem Hot Dog. Den im Grunde ist jedes Gericht, bestehend aus Brot mit was dazwischen ein Sandwich. Trotzdem gibt es in meinen Augen manche Gerichte, die innerhalb dieses Begriffes(Sandwich) ,noch Mal das Recht haben allein und als eigenes betrachtet zu werden.

Here in Switzerland, the meat is mostly beef, and it's shaved off of the rotisserie in thin slices (about 2mm or 1/8in thick) with electric handheld tools (I think it's got a rotating disc cutter in it and a catching tray). There are also automated machines that shave meat off. The meat comes off in long strips, like bacon the length of the rotisserie.

The Döner is just the perfect food in my opinion: it has calories, bread, meat, vegetables and salad as well as homemade sauces, it's almost always cheaper then subway or McDonald's (a döner costs 3.50€ in my town of Stuttgart) and a skilled "dönermann" can make a döner in less then a minute. And it's so simple: they only ask you three questions : "mit allem?" meaning "with everything?", then "mit scharf?" meaning "with hot (sauce)?" and then "zum mitnehmen?" meaning "to go? “. Then they tell you" dreifuffzich", you pay and you get a glorious full meal sandwich thingy wrapped in tinfoil. Doesn't matter if it's late in the evening , if your returning from a club at seven in the morning hungover and broke or if your returning from a late shift, even on holy days and weekends: there's always an open döner. Total lifesaver and one of the best street foods in Germany
