Doner Kebabs

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Erm, no. Of course not. Chicken shish kebab, on t'other hand...

[Dr Nowt]

Partial to cheeesy chips and doner meat if im steaming drunk or exceptionally hungover. Only about once a year mind

 

A mate brought some pal of his round mine for a smoke one weekend when I was maybe 20, all sorts of waifs and strays there so at some stage I put in a mass order to the local kebab house for delivery.  His pal wanted just doner meat, nothing else at all.  I had to assure the guy on the phone repeatedly that was all for that one, and in the finish just said "It's not for a human mate, my dog's hungry."  The lad gave me a death stare all night and then if my mate and I were due to watch football together but he was going round his, he'd always sound awkward and say there wasn't enough room for me to come.

NV is a fucking quim.

 

Donner Kebabs are superb, just like chips and gravy.

[Scott_M]

Never have, never will. Just look gross.

[mattyq]

More of a shish man these days

Superb? What the fuck is superb about mushed up anonymous 'meat' with an 85% fat content? There's a reason people only eat them when they're pissed.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Used to, but I've recently got IBS (probably from kebabs), so can't handle anything too greasy anymore.

 

Still indulge in healthier, homemade variations though. Such a simple concept, but lovely. Meat, salad, bread.

 

Decent.

 

Roast beef and mint sauce on pitta bread is one of my healthier choices. It's divine.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Mixed shwarma wraps are the future.

Doner kebabs, usually come with a white feta like cheese in with the meat, that I've had when in Germany are a class above any I've had in the UK. Stunning.

That's not a doner pal, that's a blue waffle.

[RoboRiise]

Not short of good kebab shops in Oldham but even so I'm lucky that one of the best is also the closest to me.  Does the usual doner and chicken doner but also lovely fresh cubed lamb, chicken and a frankly spectacular kobeda, or any combination thereof, all cooked fresh in front of you in a tandoor - none of this microwaving it in the back.

 

His salad is always crisp and fresh and he keeps all of it separately so you can have exactly what you want.  Even his sauces are made fresh on the premises; chilli sauce is ridiculous, it's basically pureed chillies thinned with a tiny bit of pureed tomato, but his mild sauce is thick and creamy - get both and just as the chilli is about to hit overload point the mild kicks in and calms it down again.  I go there at least a couple of nights a week, excellent food.  Just the smell of charred lamb that you get as you approach it makes you hungry.

Fucking hell, it's the chips and gravy thread all over again.

You fucker, was just turning off the laptop and going to bed but my mouth is watering now.

 

Would want one of them for sure.  Spent my holiday the past two years in Greece gladly eating that type of stuff every other day, and I tend to get bored pretty quickly of the same thing too often.

Mate he shuts at midnight Monday to Thursday and I just did it to myself too.  Epic fail.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Love them. Best ever was a place in Roda in Corfu.

Ha!

[Lee909]

Round here most of the places do a Kebab roll(Nan bread instead of pitta).

 

I prefer waiting and getting some chicken,lamb cooked on the skewer with a salad,pitta,humus

[Paulie Dangerously]

A good quality* doner is a thing of glory

 

 

 

 

*they do exist. Normally served in a freshly made naan bread from s tandoori oven

[Section_31]

Yeah only after a night out, only people on coronation street eat them during the daylight hours.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

I'd have them fro breakfast if I could

[RobbieOR]

I havent had one in a while because over here they're absolutely shite and expensive. I always get them in Spain.

 

They are also nicer sober.

[Section_31]

Deffo depends where you get them from too. There's a nice one by the Fiveways which does good donna. If it's being dished out by Marco from Tropoja shortly after he's had an ear bashing from some middle aged fat drunken wreck though you just know that meat is gonna losten your bowels a treat.

I forgot they even serve kebabs in pitta, always have naan.  Lovely soft fluffy fresh cooked naan is one of my food favourites.

My regular kebab house make their own doner meat rather than buying in those minced up lumps of lamb's arsehole, fat and ear lobes that the shithole takeaways serve. The meat is shaved off the spit to order rather than left swimming in its own fat, and all their other kebabs are flame grilled apart from their chicken yiros which is treated the same way as their doner. They also don't put mayo on their kebabs although they do provide sachets for anyone who wants it. So many times I've seen people order their kebab with loads of chilli sauce and also ask for mayo. I bet those people also love the taste of a lamb's arsehole.

 

The only time I've had a kebab in Liverpool was from a takeaway in Mossley Hill not far from the station. Way too greasy and they'd not bothered to blanch the onions so that extremely pungent raw taste was still there.

[Pidge]

Used to go to a place in London quite regularly when the in town, nothing special in terms of quality but the marinade was ace. But then they opened a shwarma place on the same road. No competition.

 

Its the morning after that puts me off. Kebab breath makes any hangover five times worse.
