Turkish kebab chefs are up in arms after they misunderstood a spoof campaign to ban the kebab in Switzerland. A website announcing the popular initiative ‘Yes to a kebab ban' appeared in Switzerland a fortnight ago calling for Switzerland to ban the eating of kebabs in public places. Launched by Swiss independent campaigner Daniel Graf, the initiative is actually a satirical comment on Switzerland's move towards a nationwide ban on wearing the burqa in public – approved by the lower house of parliament on Wednesday. But many in Turkey missed the point. On Monday Turkish newspaper The Daily Sabah said kebab masters in the country were cross about the “illogical” campaign. Mehmet Kaçak, the president of a restaurant association in the country, told a Turkish news agency that the Swiss government should oppose such a campaign.

Now, Liberal MP Robert Hannah wants a special date set aside to pay tribute to the Frankenstein's monster-like creation. Not just any old day either, but January 1st – New Year's Day. There is a serious point behind the MP's motion. The idea is to pay tribute to … [Read more...] about Could Sweden make New Year’s Day kebab pizza day?

A RUSSIAN man was caught strangling and skinning a dog in a park “to supply meat for doner kebabs”. The thug was arrested after shocked teenagers witnessed him butchering the dog and contacted police in the Russian city of Chelyabinsk. The man in his 20s named only as Nikolay was identified as an illegal immigrant from Kazakhstan. He told police:  "When I lived in Kazakhstan, there were a lot of dogs, and it was normal to cook the meat on a barbecue and eat them.” He confessed: “I used a wire to strangle the dog. “I was given the animal as payment for a job.” After one night in the cells he was released and returned to the scene to try to collect the dog’s carcass which he had strung up on a wall. He was stopped by animal rights activists.
