I like Schwarma's King on Bank. Their garlic sauce is just amazing. The Garlic King is alright but not worth the trip from downtown for me. His popemobile is the stuff of legend though

I prefer falafels for things that go inside of a pita.

therattle posted:In these parts, where the kebab is exceedingly popular (especially after night of drinking) there are two types: shish or doner. I always find shish meat too dry / lean. Doner is definitely the superior option  And the best falafels are Egyptian broadbean falafels. There's a tiny cafe near me that makes them and they're so good.

yall are all wrong  it's a mix of both in most cases - when you're talking "chicken" anyways. I've had lots of conversations with shop owners about how doner cones are constructed, and it seems to be either a. premade or b. handmade, but in the same way. you take turkey breasts (or maybe chicken breasts, but I doubt it, since the cones are so big (and turkey is cheap)) and butterfly them really thin, then alternate with layers of ground/pulverized chicken meat, stacking as you go. so you get whole chunks and also the delicious thin bouncey ground meatloaf like effect. all the premade doner/schwarma I've had in germany / israel / wherever seems to be like this. the lamb stuff I have no idea about. it's at once delicious and terrifying. I'm sure there's some video out there of raw meatloaf lamb meat coming out of a giant grinder tube and being spiraled into a gigantic towering tube

I've seen them constructed a few times out of lamb.. Goddamn delicious! Never seen the meat cone thing in the industry supermarkets though. With this big thing in Europe (scandal) - I think the last 'scandal' level thing we had was when some Germans died from eating veggies that were dirty some years back (3 or 4) - which basically ruined the Spanish export (or was it Greek?) og veggies to the rest of Europe - because one food scientist was too quick in stating where he thought the source was. The German govt. was subsequently sued for slandering, and I think they lost? But different meat scandal I've only heard of in relation to McDonald's, and that was rat.

Happy Hat posted:I've seen them constructed a few times out of lamb.. Are you saying you missed this, the biggest food related scandal in Europe so far this decade? Since plenty ofthose doner cones are made fromm beef and not lamb here in Northern Europe some of them where probably affected by that scandal. I don't think the doner industry was all that affected though. The main focus of the scandal was ready made meals sold to consumers.

My grandfather has passed and I've been asked to provide vegetable/pickle/cheese platters for about 100 people at the visitation thing. I don't want to just bring crudite platters (although I will bring some because grandma loves boring vegetables). What should I make?

I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. I usually think to do marinated olives, homemade pickles, homemade crackers, different vegetable dips, and a cheese tray with a little more variety and higher quality than you can get premade. Any or all of those would be good and don't usually take a whole ton of effort to put together.

Great summertime drink. presumably so you can share your giant 64oz michelada with the person sitting across from you, as you salivate and slurp and look eachother deep within the eyes? (and then one of you vomits and it all comes full circle {its probably the girl in this particular scenario})

She was the kind of person who would cut vegetables with a steak knife.

Needless to say, doner cones were found with horse. 🐴🍔 yes, the horse meat thing is a never ending story ....I don't mind horse either btw (I have a horse shop/butcher around the corner and it's excellent meat)), but the illegal use of it doesn't ehm..promote safety. Oh, and doner cones in my country were tested by this tv-program-guys, and not only did the stuff sold as "lamb-doner" hardly contain any lamb (it was mostly a veal, chicken, turkey mixture, if I remember correctly), but they actually found pork in many of them, while NO-ONE mentioned it, even though they asked what meat was in it when they bought it! Which is kind of hilarious in a hosed up way, as the stuff around here is almost exclusively sold by muslims, and >50% is sold to muslims. Also, the same program did a DNA test on halal butchers selling cheap "cubes of lamb", after getting a tip that it might not be lamb. It turned out that 40% of the tested shops sold cubes of turkey instead of lamb. (Luckily that can't be around my place, as non of my butchers sell cubes, just recognisable pieces of meat) Anyway, I'm mostly into vegetables nowadays ;-)

They think you have a poo poo job because you have two roommates and live in a poor neighborhood and still don't have any savings I'm not trying to be a jerk, I just have a fairly decent idea of your situation  This is kind of like the adult version of when a kid wears their halloween costume a few days after the holiday because they like the fantasy. You aren't a fancy chef.
