Doner kebabs

[Gandalf]

Never had one in my life.  Now I'm vegan the chances are pretty slim.  Somehow I don't think I've missed much. 

[Fab Foodie]

Incidentally; does anyone remember the Viz 'Doner Card'?

"In the event of my death, I would like someone else to have my kebab."

Yes indeed!

Growing up drinking-wise  in Andy Gatesville (Kirton) Spring Rolls from the Chinese were the only fare available after a night on the Bass in the Duke of York.  The Kebab had not yet arrived from the east in the late 70s/early 80s.

Curry chip, surely?

Oh no ... we were 'Upwardly Mobile' by then ....

[John Henry]

Number of doner kebabs I have eaten = 1
Number of times that a doner kebab has passed my lips = 2

Disgusting. Never again.

I have my annual doner on the way back from Dudley winter ales festival. Chilli essential.

n = 4 pints or so, but stronger than normal.

Best to have a Donner Kebab meat pizza, just the thing after a 200k

Pakora! Now you're talking. And the lovely mint sauce you dip it in.
Why can't you get proper pakora in London?

Londoners don't habitually coat much food in batter and then deep fry it. Glaswegians do...

It takes Glaswegians to invent something worse for you than a kebab!

[pcolbeck]

They can be goof or they can be terrible. I only have one every couple of years though.

I made me own once for a BBQ including all the sauces, not reconstituted meat but lamb neck. Was fantastic. The redpie is in "Blistering Barbeques" if you want a go.

A well-made kebab could be a reasonably healthy snack -scant meat, salad & pitta- a deep-fried Mars bar???

Bloody delicious.   

I grew up on Oxford doners and never got the shudders that people give.  A really good one is rare, but they're hard to make inedibly nasty.  Just don't let them go cold; cold lamb fat is pretty hard going.

Lab grown tumour, pff.  They're just the same school of ugly-cuts-of-meat-and-binder cuisine that encompasses haggis.  Those of you with an ethical farming bent should appreciate the use of nasty bits in tasty food.

I've never tried a doner, but have had a good haggis which was fortified with whisky and it was bloody good!
As it happens, I'm only 30-40 miles from Oxford, so do you have any reccomendations for some Friday night kebab munching in Oxford? If it's half as good as the haggis I had, it'll be a good night out on the bike.

Doner in naan FTW

[andygates]

Oxford's doner vans are a lottery.  Fun!

There used to be one outside the Radcliffe every night, that remembered my order even after two years away.  Good location too, as the chilli sauce suggested that a fountain and a hospital would be wise precautions. 

[teethgrinder]

I think it has to be done at least once then.

Hmmm...we'll be passing it on the October FNRttS.  Is it wise to use kebabs as cycling fuel?

Maybe to counteract a strong headwind ....

+ 1 

The doner meat in naan bread from Jobas in Tamworth is bloody lovely after a few beers & anything left over is eaten cold the next morning

[rogerzilla]

I think a peshwari naan might be OTT.

[Paul]

Nononono.

Apart from the cultural, kitchen car crash, a Naan is too much bread with a kebab. My leanings: meat 40%, salad 40%, bread 20%. With a naan, the bread goes to 40% or even more.

[Ray 6701]

That depends on how much meat they stuff in it  & salad's for rabbits & people on diets 

[Dibdib]

Well now I know what I want for dinner...

[Biggsy]

Nevermind the flavour.  That's not important to drunk people.  I'm concerned about the safety of the "meat".  Is the portion piping hot shortly before serving?

It should be but I've heard/read horror stories about when this has failed.
