For those who've never been to Germany....one of the chief 'dishes' that you'd normally try is the 'Turkish Kebab'.
My description of meal? You can make it with beef or lamb (pork is a no-go). So you get a skewer and stab the beef/lamb, adding a fair amount of spices, garlic (lots of garlic usually), and toss on some onions.
If you used the cheaper meat....you probably would get the dish for about 2.50 Euro. If you went to a more moderate place....it'd probably go to 3.50 Euro.
A fast-food option? Yeah, and most people would suggest that with some fries on the side....it's better than a burger deal.
The negative side of the dish? A fair number of Germans would offer the criticism that some places use an excessive amount of garlic (enough that you could smell your co-worker from ten feet away).
I bring all of this up because things have occurred in Bavaria recently where a new Hans Kebab shop opened up (kind of a franchise thing), and they wanted a unique optional dish.
Basically, instead of using cheaper beef....they went to the idea of Japanese Wagyu beef (most expensive beef in the world), and they priced their kebab at 35 Euro (roughly $42). That's before the fries or beer is added to the bill.
Shocker? Apparently, it's at a location where the upscale folks might hang out, and actually pay 35 Euro for a Kebab. I'd admit that I might do once just to test it.
