    Just like culinary wars between Greece, Turkey, and Arabia over whether it's Gyro, Doner kebab, or Shawarma that came first

      And it's just so stupid. If you eat flatbread you're gonna have this dish. If you wanna figure out who made flatbread first you're going so far back in time it doesn't even make sense to talk about these nationalities.

      I do enjoy riling turks up about it though. They love to ham up the "we were fierce horse riders" stuff, so one has to wonder when those nomads found the time to grow grain to make flatbread. I've no idea if the argument is a good one, but it's Balkan Tradition to mess with the neighbours.
