    This is fine work. Triple carbing. Not as good as Lasagne and chips, though.

    I quite like chips on pizza.
    Something I've only seen in Italy which shocked me at first as I thought they were all a bit obsessed with maintaining certain food standards.

    I've always wondered at people who order chips with a kebab. How can anyone, having consumed a doner, still feel the need for chips as well?

    shirley this is what doner meat and chips was invented for.

    full doner kebab AND chips is simply madness.

    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.
    I went to a respectable Turkish restaurant that made their own doners and, while the meat was much nicer than your average kebab shop, a pile of it on a plate with rice and pickles and whatnot just isn't as satisfying because it's not a sandwich.

    You could have asked for a loaf of sliced white...

    They brought me some of that Turkish bread with sesame seeds on. It was better, but still wasn't the same.

    I was so overcome with a sense of national pride I am surprised a mass sing along of A Nation Once Again did not immediately ensue.

    Do you eat the chips beforehand, during or after?

    Generally, when I've finished a doner, I'm usually is such a state of shame and remorse that I'm pretty much ready to swear off eating altogether.
