Chicken

I'm not sure about the shawarmas you've had but the ones I get here are nothing like the kebabs, the meat isn't 'kebabbed' as far as I'm aware.

 

There's a Middle Eastern restaurant in Edinburgh which does shawarmas for about £11 with a nice side salad & they're straight from heaven, I could murder one right now.

 

Having said that, a chicken kebab with loads of chilli sauce when you're blootered is the food of the Gods.

 

 

Yes, I think I'm probably talking more semantics.  (This type of stuff varies from chipper to chipper, let alone country to country.)

 

Shawarma (Arabic), Doner Kebab (Turkish) and Gyros (Greek) are related terms for vertical-spit, all-day, grilled meat preparations.

 

Shawarma is an Arabic rendering of the Turkish çevirme, meaning 'turning'.

What is it?

 

Is it nicer than McDonald's chicken nuggets?

 

It's basically a Hungarian chicken curry and the spätzle are little dumplingy noodly things. The noodle 'dough' is like a thick batter pushed through a slotted spoon into boiling water. When these little bits rise to the surface, they're removed and fried in a pan with butter.

With Lemon and Thyme. Lovely. 

 

Ever tried pesto roasted chicken? My cousin's husband is a chef and he made this once. Being a chef, the green pesto was made from scatch and spread all over the chicken, and he put a halved lemon inside it.

Another fantastic call, Trumo.

 

The Vojvodina recipe passed on to our family by my godmother's mother employs larger dumplings, tea-spooned into the actual chicken/paprikaš broth itself and left in-pot, rather than subsequently fried.

 

We call it "knedle" - a name for the dumplings... which more customarily in E Europe can also refer to sweet ones that can contain plums etc...

As a now non meat eater, looking back, chicken is the worst of all the meats. Its bland to the point of having no tatse whatsoever. Its more of a texture things than a taste thing and with its unethical mass production, campylobacter risk, and the potential risk of the importing of chlorinated chicken from the states - if there is one meat to swerve, for me, its chicken.

 

 

Soz for being a party pooper lads and lasses.  

 

 

Have to say tho' that (Trumo's)Hungarian curry(but without he chicken of course) sounds a winner that. May give that whirl.
