I've spent more than one Sunday morning in a darkened room quietly weeping after getting together with one of these babies at 2am on a Saturday night, I can tell you.

In Tokyo, there were some Pakis who ran these little carts, and they'd use some kind of flat-bread, fill it with whatever that meat is... (Mutton? Old people?) Anyway... And top it with lettuce and some kind of sauce. It was fantastic. :thumb:

The Turks, in their infinite wisdom, decided that the best way to serve food to the British masses, was to keep a large quantity of a combination of lamb/beef/'meat' on a stick, for an indeterminate period, and to heat it up every day before slicing it into pieces and placing it, along with enormously spicy condiments, into a piece of flatbread. The resulting delicacy could then be given to enormously drunken Englishmen coming out of nightclubs at 2 o'clock in the morning, and eventually the British Empire would disintegrate and fall into the sea, much like Atlantis, and other once-great powers.

It appears to be working.

Oh, and the other important part is that the same lump of meat spins on it's stick in the restaurant window at lukewarm temperatures, all day, every day, for months until the last shavings are sold.

Edit: darn I'm repeating him.
Pfft.

Funnily enough, the donner kebab is one of the few undefined meats to NOT taste like chicken. Not even close.

I've always suspected that they made them out of bluebottle meat.

Be afraid, etc.

If you ate their food, it wasn't your only mistake.

The funny thing is, I've had a couple of drinks and right now I could murder a kebab.

Hahahaha... You'd love Tokyo, John. We used to stumble our drunk asses home at 2 a.m., and the only thing open, was the little ramen carts that old Japanese dudes would wheel around. The stuff was piping hot, fresh, and about the only time I would eat it and find it good, was when I was pissed to the gills. LOL

It would be 24F outside, but huddled over a bowl of that stuff, I could have been in Siberia and I wouldn't have cared. :wub:

I had never seen them before I went to Spain. Döner Kebabs were peppered throughout Madrid like Starbucks are here. I occasionally went to the ones that served falafel, and tried to avoid looking at the slab of meat spinning in front of me. :P

Avoiding mystery meat a tad longer would not be a bad thing, Renauda.
Congratulations, by the way. ^_^
Enjoy.
