How do you have your kebab?

[Badgers]

Do you normally grab a takeaway, get it delivered, eat in a restaurant or prefer to cook your own?

Chicken, lamb or vegetarian usually? Donner, Shish, Kofte, mixed or something else?

Chilli, garlic or no sauce at all? Some other sauce? Lettuce? Cabbage? Tomato? Chillies? The whole lot??

Pitta, wrap or other flatbread? Maybe chips or rice?

 

[Steel Icarus]

Delivered.

Either a wrap involving donner and chicken, or a good old fashioned donner in pitta

Both with all the salad, garlic sauce, and chips.

God I'd destroy a kebab right now - and I've just had my packup

 

[twentythreedom]

Chicken shish with all the salad, garlic sauce, an extra pitta, but NO GHERKINS OR CHILLIS

Prefer a wrap when available, for structural integrity reasons, but usually it's just pitta round here, which is a PITA

 

[marty21]

I prefer a wrap these days - chicken or lamb

 

[fishfinger]

Usually get one from my local chippy. Either a large doner or a mixed kebab (chicken shish, lamb shish and doner). All the salad, chilli sauce and chillies. Pitta bread.

 

[maomao]

Large lamb doner. I don't like the sauce and will normally try and persuade the shopkeeper that as I'm saving them money on sauce I deserve extra pickled chillis which I fucking love. If they humour me on that then I'm more likely to go back.

 

[marty21]

There are two kebab places nearby that I favour - both do Wraps - one is a shorter walk so tend to go there - the other does deliveroo

I've never had that - btw.
I just love the serving suggestion: Arrange a salad and bread on a table, place a plate on top of it and put the meat on the plate.

 

[maomao]

I often have chips too if the shop is a decent chippy too. Here is the last kebab and chips I had a few weeks ago:

 

[JimW]

Mopey vegetarian houmous option, always takeaway. Always seemed runnier, your kebab shop houmous. Watered down but still tasty.

 

[ringo]

Take away lamb doner with all the salad and chilli sauce.

 

[lefteri]

Large lamb shish, all the salad and garlic sauce, pref wrap - eat in at the kebab shop, they don’t travel well

 

[ringo]

Getting a penchant for the occasional sober kebab these days too

 

[souljacker]

Chicken shish or lamb kofte for me. I still like a donner but they can be so hit and miss I tend to avoid them.

Plenty of salad, a couple of those big chillis, garlic mayo or minted yogurt if they do it. In a pitta but happy to have a naan if that's how the van or shop does it. Plenty of serviettes though because they are always messy things to eat.

Only really have sober kebabs myself.
A decent kebab is a thing of beauty, much maligned and underrated!

 

[JimW]

Anyway, reckon I could have your kebab easy.
Leave it, badgers, he's not worth it.

I always eat mine on a plate.
Rip up the pitta and use it to scoop up the kebab like a chapati.
Use a knife and fork for the rest

Oooohhh.....listen to Mr Civilised!!!

Mrs S hates the smell so I'm barred from having them at home so it's always when I'm in a hotel with work or on a park bench after a skinful in the pub

 

[Shechemite]

Completely pissed and eating it like a Barbarian.

One of the things I miss about Manchester was the tendency to use freshly baked naan/flat bread. In EDI it's pitta bread or gtfo, unfortunately.

Unless you get a munchy box. And even then it depends on the outlet.

Edit:. But I'll have. A large Donner with everything on it. Unless I'm in Manc, in which case I make a point of going to atlas and get a chicken shawarma with salad, humous and chilli.

 

[Badgers]

This is my local takeaway/delivery place:



Usually go for the 'Bodrum Special' which is a decent mixed kebab.
Also it comes delivered in foil containers with the meat, salad, sauce and pitta all separated so no soggy bread or warm salad

I am a bit OCD with eating. Hate eating standing up and really hate having greasy/sticky fingers

 

[Thimble Queen]

I love a lamb shish. There's a nice charcoal grill place near my flat so I go in there for a sit down. I have it with rice, bulgar wheat, salad, yoghurt... back home I'd have it in a pitta with all salad and chilli and garlic sauce.

There's a place in town that does an amazing donner so I go there sometimes before the cinema. Back home, I love donner meat and chips with chilli and garlic. FIT AS FUCK

I have a very low opinion of takeaways in Edinburgh. I may just have been unlucky but I've been frequently and consistently unlucky over a period of decades.
