I’m currently recommissioning my barbecue and I have a shoulder of lamb marinading in shawarma spices. I will slow cook this meat all afternoon and enjoy it with several bottles of decent claret.

I take it sir will be stuffing it into pittas with salad, chilli sauce and that prior to shoving it into sir's face?
