The comment is in the spirit of the community and a) highlights how much "British" grub has been stolen from elsewhere during our imperialistic phase and b) how different it actually is from the actual food in the countries which inspired it (good luck getting a balti in India). I am always intrigued by the latter - getting my first donner kebab in Turkey was a revelation (it made the British "elephant leg" look worse than before) and I always like to check out what Chinese people are eating when I'm tucking into a banquet as there is virtually no overlap.

Doner kebab is actually twice removed from the original; British doner kebabs are based on the German doner kebabs created by Germany's own Turkish population.

Jesus. Call them "German kebabs" and see how quickly Brits demand proper doner.

It does make my typo funnier because, after a dodgy "donner" I've suffered from "blitzen". I used to blame that eleventh pint of Stella but now I know it's those German kebabs.
