Turkish flatbread


This type of bread is pretty common in Germany (at least in bigger cities) due to a large number of Turkish immigrants. Usually filled with salad and meat, it's sold as the most popular German fast food dish: "Döner Kebab".

But besides that, it goes well with a variety of dishes. It works perfectly on a BBQ buffet and in combination with soups or stews, dishes of oriental or African origin, as well as hot and spicy meals in general.

As an example, I never eat Chili without a nice piece of flatbread...it compliments the flavor and softens the spiciness. You see, I'm a big fan! ^^
