"Doner kebab or döner kebab[a] is a Turkish dish made of meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie. Seasoned meat stacked in the shape of an inverted cone is turned slowly on the rotisserie, next to a vertical cooking element. The operator uses a knife to slice thin shavings from the outer layer of the meat as it cooks. The vertical rotisserie was invented in the 19th-century Ottoman Empire, and dishes such as the Arab shawarma, Greek gyros, Canadian donair, and Mexican al pastor are derived from this.

"The sliced meat of a doner kebab may be served on a plate with various accompaniments, stuffed into a pita or other type of bread as a sandwich, or wrapped in a thin flatbread such as lavash or filo, known as a dürüm (literally meaning roll or wrap in Turkish). Kadir Nurman in the early 1970s introduced the sandwich or wrap form, which has become popular around the world as a fast food dish sold by kebab shops, and is often called simply a "kebab". The sandwich generally contains salad or vegetables, which may include tomato; lettuce; cabbage; onion with sumac; fresh or pickled cucumber or chili; and various types of sauces." (Wikipedia)

"Over 5,000 people gathered to witness this extraordinary event, which saw the HSP stretch across an impressive 130 metres. The massive serving not only put Campbelltown on the world map but also brought the community together in a spirit of generosity and fun," the AMUST reports.

"Led by Mevlana Cifci, King Kebab House has become a symbol of community engagement and support. The event was a testament to this commitment, as all proceeds were donated to the 24 Hour Fight Against Cancer Macarthur, a cause close to the hearts of many in the region.

"The successful record-breaking attempt was met with cheers from the crowd, who were later invited to enjoy a free feast of the enormous HSP. This act of giving back to the community highlighted the true essence of the event: not just setting a world record but also supporting a worthy cause."

"A halal snack pack is an Australian fast food dish consisting of halal-certified doner kebab meat (lamb, chicken, beef, or a combination) and chips. It also includes different kinds of sauces, usually chilli, garlic, and barbecue (sometimes known as the "holy trinity"). Yoghurt or yoghurt sauce, cheese, jalapeño peppers, and tabbouleh are also common additions.

"While the snack pack was traditionally served in a styrofoam container, it is now most commonly served in moulded pulp or cardboard containers, as most Australian states have banned single-use plastic packaging.[6] The snack pack has been described as a staple takeaway dish of kebab shops in Australia.

"Some Australian restaurant menus refer to the dish as a "snack pack", "snack box" or "mixed plate". The name of the dish was voted by readers of the Macquarie Dictionary as the "People's Choice Word of the Year" for 2016. In Western Australia, the dish is often called a "meat box", and in Adelaide it is known as an "AB". The dish also exists in New Zealand, where it is known as meat on chips. A similar food is the Dutch kapsalon." (Wikipedia)
