kebab and barbecue

What is the difference between this tag and cuisine=kebab ? --快乐的老鼠宝宝 (talk) 07:06, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

In some places, for example Poland, cuisine=kebab may be used to refer specifically to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doner_kebab (I was unaware or forgot that "kebab" may refer to also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shish_kebab ). cuisine=doner_kebab would be better Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 12:49, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
I actually thought this is mainly used for the former, or even Shawarma and gyro, universally. In general cuisine=* is almost like the most wild-west unstructured tagging in OSM. To maintain compatibility, could use eg barbecue=kebab or kebab=doner.
Instances: 52 cuisine=doner; 282 cuisine=shawarma, 44 fast_food=shawarma. Ignoring the suspicious name=* as descriptive label.

While there may be some overlap between kebabs and barbecue, the overlap is probably the exception rather than the rule. For example, Kentucky BBQ might be described by non-Americans as a sort of kebab, being made of mutton, but this would be circumlocution at best. Conversely, satay could be described to Americans as a kind of "barbecue", including the quotation marks. Cuisines are not really defined by running a diffing tool on two recipes. – Minh Nguyễn 💬 05:48, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Mongolian barbecue

I see a suspicious number of cuisine=mongolian and cuisine=mongolian;barbecue in the U.S., where Mongolian barbecue is a popular cuisine. This cuisine was originally marketed as Mongolian but actually has nothing to do with Mongolia and little to do with barbecue. I think these restaurants should be tagged as cuisine=mongolian_bbq or cuisine=mongolian_barbecue to make it possible to distinguish restaurants that serve authentic Mongolian cuisine, including that cuisine's own barbecue dishes. [1] I opened [2] to migrate the name suggestion index over to a different tag. – Minh Nguyễn 💬 06:06, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
