Street-side doner kebab

A common sight in Istanbul are the street-side restaurants selling doner kebab, basically stacked seasoned meat, traditionally lamb, cooked by turning it slowly on a vertical rotisserie. I was surprised to learn that its invention dates only back to the mid-19th century in Turkey and it was not until the mid-20th century that doner kebab was introduced and popularized in Istanbul. It rapidly became popular around the world.
