doner kebabs

[magicdice]

how are these in line with health & safety standards? they're there for ever, spinning slowly & dripping fat, so how do they not go off/make people ill?

I am veggie, and every time I see one of these disgusting things, I can only pray that food poisoning doesn't break out!
How on earth do the health authorities allow this meat to be continuially re-heated?

[purplefish]

I would guess they do make people ill, but as people usually have them after drinking quite a bit, when they do feel ill they just blame the alcohol.

Just because we see a doner kebab revolving around with its dripping fat, does not make it any worse than the burger meat/sausages/etc that we get from other takeaways. The meat that goes into these things is horrible and unhealthy. The problem with the doner is that it is on display.

[magicdice]

yes, but it's the fact that it's there for so long that concerns me. i rarely eat fast food anyway (apart from my local kebab shop's chicken kebabs because they are actually real chicken, and the burger king's LA chicken sandwich if pushed)

although there's the presumption that it's safe to eat because of food standards, i'm intrigued as to how?

[blueeyedlass]

the meat isnt reheated but, as the outside cooks it gets cut off so then its new meat under neath that then gets cooked.

[magicdice]

but how can they be sure it's cooked then?

I think I would rather eat my own earwax. How can thousands of people up and down the country spill out of pubs nightly and decide to stuff themselves with something which can only be described as a Fly's paradise?

Like democracy, right-angled triangles and melon sex, kebabs were invented by the ancient Greeks around 400 BC. The philosopher Zeno formulated his famous Drunken Man Paradox that states: All those who are drunk will eat anything. Anything includes that which is inedible. Therefore a drunken man can eat that which cannot be eaten. To test his theory, he constructed a brown thing from the stuff he found in a skip out the back of a butchers near the Acropolis and set up outside a taverna. Due to the heat, it soon began to sweat and revolve. Nevertheless he managed to sell 250 of them at �3 a pop, to a group of philosophers who had been out since lunchtime with Archimedes, celebrating his principle. The Kebab had been invented, but didn�t arrive in Britain for another two and a half thousand years.
Anything you care to mention will be in a Kebab including

Sheep�s eyes and eyelids
Sheep�s knackers
Cats
Pigs� @rses
Sheep�s fannies
Unspecified tumours, cysts and lymphomas
Gristle
Turkey�s wattles
Sheep�s varicose veins
Prime cuts of lamb 
Anything rejected by Bernard Matthews

This is why we enjoy it so much......

You wanna Chilli Sauce with that?

[Rooser]

Without a shadow of a doubt, a decent chilli sauce has the antiseptic qualities of iodine, this is why a kebab is not the same without it and why it is very rare for a kebab eater to keel over and die within 45 minutes of consumption. Also it aids digestion and like a good curry, masks the true nature of the meat.

Some Doner Kebabs from shops taste realy bad, my local one is the best I have found that is rally tasty and not too greasy and doesn't taste like a sweaty arm pit.

Oh and by the way any veggies out there?
Most Burger king Veggie meals are cooked in the same fat as the meat Burgers.....cross contamination ahoy!....eeeewwww

You have to have full pickled chilli's on your doner, and none of that salad rubbish that they try and fob you off with, that has probably been there for 2 weeks, in a fridge of all places, and serves no purpose but to deny you a fully laden pitta or naan of the doner meat..
