Doner

A type of kebab, consisting of meat (typically lamb, beef, or chicken) cooked on a vertical rotisserie. The meat is thinly sliced as it cooks and often served in a bread pocket (such as a pita or flatbread) with various accompaniments. These accompaniments typically include salad vegetables, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cucumber, and a range of sauces, such as garlic, chili, and yoghurt-based sauces. It is a popular fast-food dish, especially in Europe and the Middle East, also known as a gyro or shawarma depending on region.
