A butcher from Nuremberg has developed a special culinary curiosity and combined two popular dishes: meat loaf and kebab.
Nuremberg – Dirk Freyberger, a butcher from Nuremberg, had an idea that some people will find absurd, others interesting – and quite a few people will find delicious: the so-called “Dönakäs”.
Freyberger and his team tinkered around for months, experimenting and combining two popular dishes.
The butcher has recently started selling the combination of kebab and meat loaf in its two branches in Nuremberg, as the butcher shop announced on the social network
.
According to Freyberger, “Dönakäs” is a liver loaf made from pure beef that tastes like kebab.
There is also a yogurt-garlic-pepper sauce, served in a roll.
To make the Leberkäse taste like kebab, a special spice mixture is added to the meat, it says on

But why the kebab flavor?
“There are various reasons for this,” explains Dirk Freyberger on
.
“Exotic flavors in particular really appeal to us, as it is the diversity that defines our craft,” the butcher continues about his creation.
But there is another reason behind the origin story: “But building bridges is also always important to us,” adds Freyberger.
The butcher shop describes the “Dönakä” on Facebook as a “traditional Bavarian product based on the modern zeitgeist of Turkish culture”.
That's why, in times of division and discontent, it is important to stick together and come closer together.

“Dönakäs” costs three euros – “Inflation affects us all”
Döner prices are rising sharply across Germany.
At the end of last year, the largest kebab meat producer announced that it would increase prices.
The popular dish recently became a symbol of inflation: under the #Kebabflation, people on social networks drew attention to the massive increase in the price of kebab, which in some cases rose much faster than the average inflation rate.
Most recently, Chancellor Scholz rejected the – probably not entirely serious – demand for a kebab price cap.
The “Dönakäs” is different: the price of the liver cheese and kebab combination is impressive.
In the store it costs three euros in a roll with yogurt sauce.
According to the butcher shop, the slice contains 200 grams. “Inflation affects us all, but no one should ignore nostalgia.
“It has always been the kebab for 3 euros that made history,” says butcher Freyberger.

If you would rather try out the culinary combination at home, you can also buy the “Dönakäs” to bake yourself or slice thinly for a sausage salad.
Dirk Froyberger hopes that “people are not prejudiced against our product.
Prejudices are exactly what we are trying to combat.”
And how is the culinary creation received by customers?
There are almost exclusively positive comments
on the
Facebook post.
For example, users write: “Super cool idea”, “Thank you very much, I’ll take a look there this week”, “I’ll definitely give it a try.”
Sounds good.”, “Exciting!”, “That looks delicious, Bon Appetit” or “Well, it looks delicious, then send it over to the north.”
A kebab seller from Upper Palatinate had a similar idea to Dirk Freyberger last year.
Marco Cakmak, from Erbendorf, also combined the two dishes - just the other way around.
In his kebab snack bars, the Upper Palatinate resident sells the Bavarian kebab: kebab bread with thinly sliced meatloaf, sweet mustard and a sauce as well as classic kebab ingredients such as tomatoes, iceberg lettuce and onions.
Things got even stranger a few years ago in Miesbach: master baker Florian Perkmann presented a meatloaf donut and made big waves on social media.
