Wismar now has the only real kebab with beef!

In Wismar, between Schiffbauerdamm, Ulmenstrasse and “Am Hafen”, Alpaslan Aycan runs a bistro that specializes in a real doner kebab. This actually only exists here in the region, like this Baltic Sea newspaper reported. The special feature of his doner kebab: It consists of 100 percent beef, which is refined with various spices.

“The only real kebab,” is what Aycan calls his offering, emphasizing the quality of his product. Many other snack foods often use minced meat, which, according to the official guidelines for meat and meat products, is not only permitted but also widespread: “Doner kebab” may contain a maximum of 60 percent minced meat. In Turkey, however, this pressed meat mix is ​​not even called a kebab, which further underlines the unique character of the Wismar provider.

A kebab that inspires

The preparation of the kebab in the bistro is traditional. Alpaslan Aycan uses pieces of beef that are slowly grilled from the outside, which ensures a juicy and aromatic treat. The snack bar offers the doner kebab two days a week, always on Thursdays and Fridays – as long as the rotisserie lasts. With a price of 6.50 euros, the kebab remains affordable for most people and is well received.

But it's not just enjoyment that's in the foreground here. The quality of the kebab is also supported by strict regulations against labeling defects, which are often not adhered to by other providers. For example, maximum transparency is required: rotisserie spit must be clearly declared and misleading information is not permitted. According to an investigation by the Oldenburg Food and Veterinary Institute, something is going wrong here. Only some of the products examined met the requirements for “doner kebab” or “rotisserie” [ LAVES ].

Knowledge about the best kebab

The requirements should not be underestimated, especially since the EU regulation on the use of food additives has been in effect since June 2013. This regulation prohibits the use of many additives in raw meat rotisserie, which is a common problem when preparing kebabs. Up to 28 of 33 samples were not tested because unacceptable ingredients or incorrect declarations were found [ LGL Bavaria ].

While other providers offer varying ingredients, Alpaslan Aycan stays true to its line: real kebab, without compromises. The old sailor, who serves as a photo opportunity in the bistro, tells many an exciting story - true to the motto “Good things take time”. And the Wismar Döner Kebab can confidently be described as an excellent representative of its craft. If you haven't tried it yet, you should do so quickly before the rotisserie is empty!
