A '''doner kebab''' ([[Turkey|Turkish]]: ''turning roast'') is a popular Turkish dish made with lamb, beef or chicken. The meat is cooked on a vertical rotating spit and then served in [[pitta bread]] with salad and lashings of hot chilli sauce. The doner kebab has become a staple of the [[United Kingdom|British]] post-[[pub]] diet albeit that in Britain the 'doner meat' is sometimes of dubious provenance.

They are usually served in a pocket of [[pita bread]], with chopped [[salad]] and [[chili pepper|chili]] sauce. It is a popular meal all over the [[Middle East]], where it is called '''shawarma''' in [[Arabic]], as well in [[Greece]], where it is called '''gyros'''. Due to the influx of Arab and North African immigrants to Western [[Europe]], it is extremely popular among modern-day youth there.
