Kebab: unhealthy?

[eastsidebagel]

As someone living in england, I would just like to say you guys have no concept of staggering out of the bloody nearest battle cruiser at 2:30 am, with the ability to walk nigh near gone, and then fiding an oasis in the middle of the desert full of pissheads, urinating neds, and cops giving general abuse, stocking up on beautiful food, then projectile vomiting it all against the glass of a taxi.

So poetic, yet so sleek and true...

I don't know, the German Kebaps I've tried were really delicious and didn't seem so unhealthy.

@Scherbchen: 40DM for a Dönner? WTH, I remember buying them for like a Euro in Berlin, like 5 yrs ago.

He made a joke. The price ranges generally between 2 to 3.50 Euros.
I wouldn't eat one for the price of one Euro though. Its quality just can't be all that good, because the guy who sells them at those prices can't be actually making profit if he decides to makes them good and to use high-quality meat/fresh salad while selling them for just one buck.

£2.80 at my local kebab shop.
The proper pieces of meat ones are something like £4 for a large.

Considering that you live in a country where the Doners seem to be an abomination to God, those prices are insane!

Welcome to rip-off Britain

If OP is right about the unhealthiness of British kebab, then the salesmen of it are even more profit-seeking than McD and BK combined!
That's a shame, really. To make a Doner is about love and compassionate desire, not the strive to rip some hungry pilgrims off!

Im all about the real kebab not donner, but -

A large donner's meat portion is perhaps 10 - 12 times the size of a McD or BK burger.

McDonalds + meat in the same sentence sounds funny!

Not to talk about its taste and splendour...
And I was semi-serious about what I said in the last post: Those British sellers wouldn't see a penny from me, if they wouldn't lower their prices a bit!
What am I? Addicted to Doner, so they can charge from us (the customers) whatever they want?

<Insert joke about Lawrence of Arabia enjoying large helpings of addictive turkish meat here. Then talk about how this extends to all Brits>

I had a kebab once and I didn't like it, and it was probably the greasiest thing I ever tried.

I challenge you to try them again and again...until you'll like it.
After that, I bet you'll like it.
P.S.: They taste considerably much better when you eat them drunk. Yum, it's like your body is screaming for them after an overslept, stormy night!

Now that I remember, they were like EUR 1.50, and they were pretty good. Me and one fellow backpacker couldn't get enough of that stuff, so we ate it almost every night for like a month and kept the fridge full of all sorts of Bier. I think in Aachen they were a bit more expensive.

Bier und Döner sind eine wunderbare Kombination!
You prove yourself to have good taste when it comes to the German lifestyle!

ack! dude... the beer I can get on board with but claiming a rather international type of fast food to be German is just... yuck. that is like saying a burger is American.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Indeed, the Greeks and Turks can claim the kebab as their own.

Burgers are German of course.

 

[REDY]

Lets face it, there are only two kinds of food - healthy food and tasty one.

 

[Maniacal]

Hardly surprising. Fast food / take out is almost never healthy.

I never drink alcohol.
