I would like to try this.Quote:

For me, though, the whole sandwich nature of the doner is essential. Eating a doner should essentially be a race between your appetite and the structural integrity of the increasingly grease-soaked pitta bread.Quote:

'Eire-ony'?Quote:

It is also quite “normal” for people here to add potatoes to their custom built lunchtime sandwich e.g. ham, cheese, potato salad.
Now when I say normal I clearly mean hugely deviant fúckers probably working in HR or the likes.
It's usually mix, I only put a few now. as if one eats all the chips then you might be full for the kebab.Quote:

I still think kebabs have changed over years. I can't find the right ones, even the sauces are different.
That actually sounds pretty good. If you swapped the mozzarella for reblochon and took out the tomato sauce and put in some sliced onions, you'd basically have a tartiflette pizza.Quote:

ah, yes..... technically, you would be correct but if you knew these chaps you might see it differently. You see, they consider themselves part of the gastronomic intelligentsia so, when I pointed out the detail, it didn't really register with any of them.Quote:
