Pitta bread all over.

 

[strung out]

i'm going to make bagels today

 

[stupid dogbot]

For what?

Pitta for a kebab, obviously, and even for some kinds of snacks.

But for spreading soft cheese on? Bagels, forget about it.

You've bought shit long life pitta breads there then



I don't mind poor quality bagels as much as I do rubbish pitta breads tbh. Ok, a bagel should be a chewy, boiled then baked thing and those crispy part-baked supermarket things are fake bagels (fagels?!?), but they still toast ok if you slaver enough cream cheese over them. Poor quality or long life pittas on the other hand, go dry, hard and shatter in glass-like pieces as soon as they cool down. A decent fresh pitta doesn't do that ime

It's pissing annoying that the supermarkets and convenience stores often store only the long life variety. They're pretty much useless and cost more than the fresh article from a mediterranean store.

don't see the point in pitta bread

You get more kebab meat in a pitta then you would in a bagel.

 

[Orang Utan]

i'd rather just have the meat.
the bread is pointless, like tacos. it's just there to hold the important stuff.

 

[Onket]

simple question

I agree.

Pitta.

 

[lillia]

Either, as long as they're warm. Cold bagels and cold pitta are just wrong.

As an aside, I've recently re-discovered the magnificence that is the english muffin.

donner meat would be crap in a bagel. Plus it's basically a bread roll with a hole in it and I can make them myself out of normal rolls.

 

[Orang Utan]

bagels aren't designed for doner meat.
doner meat is best on a plate with a load of chili sauce and nowt else

 

[tarannau]

No it's not. You've somehow managed to go grimmer than a basic kebab. I always wondered what strange loners or adolescents chose the 'regurgitated kebab meat only' options. I know now



A bit of pitta adds a bit of balance to the grease, plus a pocket to hold the meat and other ingredients in. You're basically doing the takeaway equivalent of eating the (wafer thin) ham straight out of the plastic packet and proclaiming it superior to a sarnie

 

[Orang Utan]

well....

 

[Orang Utan]

i'm just interested in the meat

 

[Orang Utan]

and no salad - yeuch!

 

[tarannau]

It's not even really meat most of the time...




I'll fight you for the taco comment too, even if you're misusing the word taco. A taco is the complete mexican sarnie option, but the bread itself is a tortilla. And corn tortillas can be very tasty indeed, especially when they're a perfect device for carrying salsas and fillings.

all those things are shit - they're just edible plates

OU is correct. Doner meat and chips ftw.

heathens.

I expect you'd like an egg with that as well?

Bagels all the way. My daughter says 'bai-gels' in homage to our Jewish ancestry, although the only other Jewish food we eat is the occasional matzo.

I quite like pittas but don't have such a use for them. I don't like the way they go brittle when they cool down either.

 

[Orang Utan]

bai-gels? what other way do people say it?

 

[fractionMan]

b-agles?
bag-les?

 

[Orang Utan]

bay-gulls is how they're pronounced aren't they?
