Mmm, kebabs....

Just having dinner (yes, I know, it's not a good idea to eat in front of the computer.)

Strangely, this is the first time I've ever had a kebab.

A few things I've learned:

1. They are absolutely deilcious.

2. They're extremely messy.

Oh, and no, I didn't get it at one of those amazingly random kebab stalls that seem to pop up at the strangest places in the middle of the night...

Welcome to world of kebabery. We tend to buy one to accompany alcohol..

but kebab requires drunkenness! stop eating now and down a few pints before continuing, and then proceed to get most of it down your shirt (or all over your shoes and the floor in a while) for the true true british kebab experience ;)

It's the national dish of most German cities...

One thing I learned is not to order them with sauce ;)

True. Then perhaps proceed to some street corner and vomit it all out again. I hope youve finished eating it...

i also find that the pitta disintergrates, causing the kebab and salad to fall out of the bottom.

Yeah, we have (or had) a beer ad to that effect ("If the garlic sauce doesn't kill you, your wife will...").

We have very good beer ads down here. If you can, track down Carlton Draught's ads - they're the best of the lot. Particularly, find the 'Big Ad'. Pure genius.

Kebabs are the greatest fast food ever invented.

If, however, you've purchased it while drunk and fall asleep before finishing eating it do not under any circumstances continue eating it when you wake up. This is incredibly important. I can testify from experience.

And who orders it without sauce? Chilli sauce is a wonderful way of sobering up quick enough to catch a night bus, especially if it squirts in your eye.

Of course they are. It's finger food. It's supposed to be messy

So what's all this talk of Pitta bread? :confused:

That's not a kebab, that's a mutant sandwich.

That's one type, most of the kebabs I see are wrapped up in pita bread. But those kebab burgers are really good when they're made with Turkish bread. Kebabs in western hamburger buns just suck...
