And sometimes they even tell you what species it came from.

It's chiken, I've worked at shawarma stand for a month in the summer, you can trust my expertise.

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.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 week ago

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.

How much is it where you live?

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Am from Germany. 5€ at our current favourite döner. Seitan döner with a very good vegan cocktail sauce. My other favourite right across our flat is 6,50€ - falafel döner with hummus and all kinds of other freshness. 6,50€ is rather expensive for my tastes and my wallet but pretty cheap compared to the nationwide average. 5€ is beyond cheap

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

So jealous. Where I am in Germany, a standard Döner is €8-9, and a seitan one is €9-10. There’s zero reason for seitan to be more expensive, except that they know people will pay it

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

you guys get seitan kebabs? here in sweden they universally charge like 12 EUR for a regular-ass kebab

10€ in France. As expensive as fast food.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Paris ? I get kebabs for 6-7€ (without beverages) and Berliners for 8-10 here near the German border

Here it is 6 to 9€. Depends on what bread you want. Pitah, plain wrap or lahmacun. Also we have the 'kapsalon" about 10€.

[–] hoch@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

I've always wanted to try döner, but they're impossible to find in the US, at least outside large cities :(

[–] Djinn_Indigo@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

Gyros and shawarma are both types of / related to döner; you might have more luck finding one of them.

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.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I respect any restaurant that features a spinning cone of meat.

[–] Perhapsjustsniffit@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Not as good as it's far superior cousin "The Halifax Donair". Come visit and try one.

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.

[–] UncleArthur@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Lamb doner meat and chips, with lettuce, onions and burger sauce. Food of the gods!

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] taanegl@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

European propaganda at it's finest.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

And a Doner actually fills you up.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Döner macht schöner, auf Dauer auch schlauer. McDonalds just makes fat.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Dang it, if y'all keep posting stuff like this you're gonna makes me want to immigrate even more than I already do.

[–] argarath@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

I don't eat much fast food nowadays, but a good dürüm kicks a burger every time.

[–] Teppichbrand@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

A wild Dönermann appears. He offers you:

  • Balls of deep fried chickpeas flour, rich in protein
    or
  • An ungodly blob of mouldered animal tissue, dripping with cholesterol

What is your choice?

[–] Sporkbomber@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

A vendor that lets their gyros moulder probably isn't making sanitary falafels either. So neither.

[–] BrutallyHonestPOS@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

fml... but latter
