Döner Kebab
The Döner Kebab is seen as a cultural dish of Turkish migrants throughout Europe. While parts originated in Turkey, the dish has changed substantially enough to consider it German or European. The change of identity is obfuscated through the medial and even political use of Döner Kebab as a symbol for migration and integration. Depictions like these lead to a stereotypization of social groups towards certain identities and jobs.
