recently invented dishes

This popped up on my FB feed. I imagine some of those dates are pretty debatable;

Norway wins a gold for their creation. Best kind of sushi ever.

Shame on Canada.

Here's one that could have stayed uninvented.

It was a limited time offer at a local grocery store.

The above for the gold medal. For the silver the Spanish "fart" ons  For the bronze, the U.S. "ice" coffees, SUCH an oxy-moron !

I rarely buy cold brew coffee over ice but I did develop a taste for it when I worked at a start up that had it on tap.  To me it's just a variation on iced tea.  I make it home fairly often during the summer.  I let coffee steep 12 hours or so in a French press and then dilute the resulting concentrate 2:1.  It's very smooth and makes for a nice change.

When its 90F at 0800, iced coffee drinks are a godsend.

I'm not a big fan of Hawaiian pizza specifically, but I do like pepperoni, onion, jalapeno, and pineapple, as the blend of savory, spicy, sweet, and tart work well together.

My favorite kind.

Given that I was eating lamb doner kebab "sandwiches" no later than 1985 out of a Turkish take away shop in South Kensington, at least one of those claims is bogus.

There is no functional difference between a "German" doner kebab and a Turkish kebab, or a Greek Gyro for that matter.

Also, this seems to be the source for the Apple Crumble claim:

Quote

Apple Crumble is known to have originated in Britain during the World War II food rationing. Recipes for the dish were invented to replace the more extravagant apple pie recipes. However, it was not until 1924 that the apple crumble became an official recipe when it made it’s first debut into printed recipe books.[1]

From here: https://www.oakhousefoods.co.uk/blog/blog/2021/03/08/the-history-behind-the-great-british-apple-crumble/

So which was it? From WW2 or from 1924?

There is here. Greeks here cover their gyros with tzatziki sauce which is yogurt based with cucumbers and dill, I have only had Turkish kebab once but the meat was a little different and they used a tomato based sauce. From what I hear, in Canada they use a evaporated milk based sauce, which sounds gross to me but I would be willing to try it.

The Turkish kebab shop offers chilli or garlic based sauces.

The Greek kebab shop offers chilli or tzatziki based sauces.

It's like saying that a steak isn't a steak if it's served with peppercorn sauce versus hollandaise.
