Ugh, even if the entire US government woke up tomorrow, apologized to all of our allies, signed peace treaties with everyone to show we were serious, AND ended all wars forever, I'd still stand by this meme.
I did 6 months in Germany, and I had doner near fucking weekly.
Doner boxes are fucking fantastic, and simply god tier after a few Dunkels.
I respect any restaurant that features a spinning cone of meat.
Okay but seriously, where I'm from McDonald's is 200% the cost of pretty much any local non-chain fast food establishment (Who provide food of far higher quality). I do not understand how they are even open, or why anyone eats there.
European propaganda at it's finest.
Döner's are tasty, local and not expensive
Yeah, it just so happens I have been getting obsessed with it lately! They are also healthier and have more natural ingredients than McDonald's could bother to have.
And a Doner actually fills you up.
I was avoiding American companies fast food since the genocide in Gaza started since I didn't know which companies didn't have business with israel, I knew mcdonalds and starbucks did, so I didn't buy anything from them since then, but now I'm just avoiding them all. Since I started I've found a Brazilian fast food company that sells calzones and they're really cheap and tasty, as well as being much faster than the other fastfood places. I am now just missing a coffee shop that sells stuff like macchiato or those other drinks that starbucks sells, I love those and I cannot replicate them at home even with an espresso machine
There is a phone app called "No Thanks" which lets you search any company name to see whether they support Israel financially. It is always the big international (and usually American) companies. Rarely companies which are mostly contained within one country.
That is really nice!!! Thank you very much, I will use this so much!!
We have these in maritime Canada as well but we spell it Donair
Its funny, in ontario we only have shawarma. Lots and lots of shawarma, but I'd never heard of doner until i went to europe.
There was a sick Donair joint in Roncevales up until a few years ago
Well...slightly North Americanized. The sauce is basically just sugar with some garlic and vinegar mixed in. :P
Both donairs and doners are tasty, though!
A wild Dönermann appears. He offers you:
What is your choice?
A vendor that lets their gyros moulder probably isn't making sanitary falafels either. So neither.
fml... but latter
Both, Falafel is great with lamb.
This reminded me of this Armstrong and Miller sketch (or documentary): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EoihKUbmM38
Meat on a stick > Mc "meat"
PLZ Freeze and ship to US, I'll pay the tariffs :)
I'm sorry but you'll have to come to Europe for the full experience
Ohh, I've been. It's been a while, like pre €. We rented a car with unlimited miles and drove from Paris to Switzerland stopping all over in between then train to UK on the way out. Worst case, need the youngest to get a few years on him before we do a grand tour.
Though, I'm seriously looking at digital nomadding in Portugal. They're set up pretty well for it.
But for the moment, that would be some REALLY expensive döner after airfare and hotel accommodations.
Et appeler le cuisiner "chef".
Bravo !
And sometimes they even tell you what species it came from.
What do you mean, it says it clearly on the receipt!
Wait...
It's chiken, I've worked at shawarma stand for a month in the summer, you can trust my expertise.
Man, I miss doner every day, I wanna bring a doner restaurant from germany to my country rn
Same. I haven't been to Germany in 20 years, and I complain to my wife about craving döner at least once a week.
I've scoured the entire city for a good doner kebab, I cant forget how good it tastes. I cant wait to go back to germany haha
I like Kebabs. Only thing i worry is about the hygiene standards in these shops. I saw a test and 4 out of 10 failed basic standard.
Just need to pick the 6 good ones!
Great news! I think Doge just fired all the health inspectors as costly dead weight, so all restaurants now have a perfect 10/10!
I had a beer at a posh downtown bar a few months back while waiting for someone. You have no idea how many mice I saw zigzagging across the floor, but I think you're getting an idea.
I had a döner once 25 years ago and I still remember how good it was.
I've always wanted to try döner, but they're impossible to find in the US, at least outside large cities :(
