Original document

The page that actually uses the word: 'Mangal (barbeque) is an indispensable fixture of Adana.' Also carries the craft detail that makes the Adana kebab record worth having — one- or two-year-old male lamb, free of sinew, rested a day and then minced with a knife rather than machined, on skewers made by blacksmiths. Same publisher as the kebab-types page above, so the two are one voice for independence purposes.

Culture, Terminology, Culinary practice

• Explicitly not commercial: A national tourism agency promotes its own destination.

• “Mangal (barbeque) is an indispensable fixture of Adana”

  Go Türkiye states that mangal — barbecue — is an indispensable fixture of Adana, and that Adana kebab is a culture in itself beyond being a dish.

  Adana specifically, in the Mediterranean region of Türkiye.

  Mangal is glossed by the source as 'barbeque', covering both the equipment and the practice.

• Go Türkiye states that Adana kebab requires meat from a one- or two-year-old male lamb, free of sinew, rested for a day and then minced with a knife, on skewers specially made by blacksmiths, and served with oiled lavash, tomato paste, shepherd's salad, greens and onion salad with sumac.

  An unusually precise craft specification for a cultural source — animal age, sex, sinew, resting, knife-mincing and bespoke skewers.

  What it covers:

  Adana's own account of its own dish.

• Go Türkiye describes mangal — barbecue — as an indispensable fixture of Adana, where the Adana kebab is documented as requiring one- or two-year-old male lamb, free of sinew, rested a day and minced with a knife, on skewers made by blacksmiths.

If this source changes, these are the claims that need rechecking. That is the point of recording provenance per claim rather than per page.
