There has been quite a bit of newsprint recently about the tug of war between Germany and Turkey about who invented the Doner Kebab and who has the right of applying for protected food status under the EU. Maybe there could be a future argument on who invented the Sheekh kebab …. Afghanistan, Pakistan or India?
Either way it appears that the new UK (Labour) government regime have decided that the process in joining the UNESCO Cultural Heritage Initiative (including the food category) should continue which hopefully will be good news in the longer term for the unique dish that is the Birmingham Balti!
