A picture gallery on Facebook with food invented after World War II caught my attention. As German foods, the Currywurst and the Döner Sandwich are mentioned.

Currywurst is a beloved German dish that has become a part of the country's
cultural identity. The dish is made up of steamed pork sausage, usually
served with a generous helping of ketchup, curry powder, and a sprinkle of
paprika. It is a simple yet flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a snack or
a meal.
The dish has its origins in post-war Germany when a woman named Herta Heuwer began selling it in her street stall in 1949. She created the recipe by combining curry powder, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce to make a flavorful sauce to top the sausage. The dish quickly gained popularity and is now a staple of German cuisine.
Currywurst is typically served with French fries or a roll and can be found in almost any German restaurant or street food stall. It is also a popular item to take away and is often consumed on the go.
This is swarm knowledge, possibly from Wikipedia, intelligently and artificially composed. Students no longer have to copy from the Internet but can also have their copied texts composed. I understand why New York City school officials issued the following warning:
"DO NOT USE CHATGPT OR ANY OTHER AUTOMATED WRITING TOOL FOR SCHOOL PAPERS. THIS IS CHEATING AND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. IF YOU ARE CAUGHT USING CHATGPT OR ANY OTHER AUTOMATED WRITING TOOL FOR SCHOOL PAPERS, THERE WILL BE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES."
Here are three references to Red Baron's original blogs on Currywurst: The history of the Currywurst, a career built on the seasoned sausage, and its impact on Freiburg.
Let us switch to the Döner Sandwich relying on the "döner kebap," which literally means "rotating roast" in Turkish.
The origin of the Döner goes far back to the 19th century. The German Wikipedia has the following story: On June 16, 1836, Helmuth von Moltke, military advisor to the Ottoman Empire, wrote in his diary, "We took our midday meal quite Turkish at the Kiebabtschi. ... Then on a wooden disc appeared the kiebab, or small pieces of mutton, roasted on a spit and wrapped in bread dough, a delicious, tasty dish."

Indeed Döner is a type of kebab that has been popular in Europe for centuries. It is made of thin slices of lamb, beef, chicken, or a combination of the three. The meat is cooked on a vertical rotisserie and thinly sliced off the spit. Döner is usually served with various sauces such as garlic sauce, tahini, and yogurt. It is also often served with vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions.
What changed was that vendors offered the above dishes in a wrap of pita bread. So in Germany, the Döner Sandwich became the popular choice for take-out and street food.
According to Wikipedia, the modern sandwich variant of döner kebab originated and was popularized in 1970s West Berlin by Turkish immigrants.
Although this was recognized by the Berlin-based Association of Turkish Doner Manufacturers in 2011, there is fierce contestation on the real origin of the Döner Sandwich.
Regarding the other foods, I would like to comment on the Hawaiian pizza with ananas created by Sam Panopoulos, a Greek-born Canadian in Chatham, Ontario, in 1962. Pizza and ananas is a nogo.
The Hawaiian pizza is related to Toast Hawaii, once popular in Germany. It consists of a slice of toast with cooked ham and cheese and a maraschino cherry in the middle of a pineapple slice. The whole is broiled so that the cheese starts to melt. A German TV cook Clemens Wilmenrod "invented" the Hawaiian Toast as early as 1950.
On the other hand, the year when and where Tiramisu was served for the first time is controversial.

Until now, the restaurant's patron, Richard Aubert, was famous for his Piccata Milanese. The German Wikipedia knows: Piccata Milanese (a cutlet breaded with breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese and served with spaghetti and tomato sauce) is an invention from the United States (?).
On the other hand, according to a legend, Field Marshal Radetzky brought the recipe from Italy to Vienna in 1857 when Milano belonged to the Austrian Empire. The Cotoletta alla Milanese is a breaded and fried cutlet made of veal. It ought to be the model of the Wiener Schnitzel, which sadly is missing one crucial ingredient, the Parmesan cheese.
