Iskender kebap was invented in Prusa (don't know how you call this city) in 1867 by Iskender efendi who was a butcher. So definitely turkish. About doner in general i don't know. The fact is that once i have heard a turkish historian who said (and i completely agree) that ancient turks were nomads and didn't really had a cuisine. The ancient greeks had a cuisine but a poor one. Both ended up having the rich Eastern Roman empire cuisine.

So the same base, just regional differences. That's why i always eat in turkish restaurants when i am abroad. If i come to Turkyie i'll go north to the black sea. My grandmother's family was from there. Never have been there though...

We call Prusa as Bursa. Not changed the name.

Black Sea region is amazing. Last summer I was in there. This is a random photo that I shot in Trabzon.

Some additional photos would be fine for the moment. Show us a few please 🤠
