What is Horse doner?

Horse doner is made by seasoning meat, stacking it on a vertical spit, roasting it and shaving off thin slices. Doner is closely associated with Turkish cooking, though horse meat is not as commonly used for it as beef or chicken, and availability and seasoning can vary by vendor.

It is usually served hot in flatbread or as a wrap, often with salad, onion and sauces; in Turkey, ayran is a familiar drink alongside it. The meat has a savoury, spiced flavour and a substantial texture. It is protein-rich, with 20.5 g of protein per 100 g, and can also be fairly fatty and salty. For a lighter meal, pair it with salad and go easy on rich sauces.
