A wild Dönermann appears. He offers you:

  • Balls of deep fried chickpeas flour, rich in protein
    or
  • An ungodly blob of mouldered animal tissue, dripping with cholesterol

What is your choice?

Ich bin doch schon schön.

I don't eat much fast food nowadays, but a good dürüm kicks a burger every time.

And sometimes they even tell you what species it came from.

It's chiken, I've worked at shawarma stand for a month in the summer, you can trust my expertise.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Even when you choose the beef one?

I'm going to let the consumer protection agency know that.

Man, I miss doner every day, I wanna bring a doner restaurant from germany to my country rn

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I thought you get them in pretty much every corner of the world these days.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 1 points 23 minutes ago

For real, my city is a massive untapped market. There is quite a bit of kebab but none are actually good, and absolutely 0 doner kebab

I had a döner once 25 years ago and I still remember how good it was.

[–] 79luca79@lemm.ee 10 points 15 hours ago (5 children)

I like Kebabs. Only thing i worry is about the hygiene standards in these shops. I saw a test and 4 out of 10 failed basic standard.

That's just surprise seasoning

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 15 hours ago

Just need to pick the 6 good ones!

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 14 hours ago

Great news! I think Dodge just fired all the health inspectors as costly dead weight, so all restaurants now have a perfect 10/10!

I had a beer at a posh downtown bar a few months back while waiting for someone. You have no idea how many mice I saw zigzagging across the floor, but I think you're getting an idea.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago

Adds some flavor to it. And if you don’t get sick, it’s all good.

Your kilometrage may vary.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 16 hours ago (7 children)

How much is it where you live?

[–] kindenough@kbin.earth 4 points 12 hours ago

Here it is 6 to 9€. Depends on what bread you want. Pitah, plain wrap or lahmacun. Also we have the 'kapsalon" about 10€.

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 11 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Am from Germany. 5€ at our current favourite döner. Seitan döner with a very good vegan cocktail sauce. My other favourite right across our flat is 6,50€ - falafel döner with hummus and all kinds of other freshness. 6,50€ is rather expensive for my tastes and my wallet but pretty cheap compared to the nationwide average. 5€ is beyond cheap

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

So jealous. Where I am in Germany, a standard Döner is €8-9, and a seitan one is €9-10. There’s zero reason for seitan to be more expensive, except that they know people will pay it

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

you guys get seitan kebabs? here in sweden they universally charge like 12 EUR for a regular-ass kebab

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 51 minutes ago

Yeah, but everything’s more expensive there. I thought there were a lot of people eating non meat options in Sweden though, it’s surprising that you don’t have seitan kebabs. I always get a yufka/dürüm/wrap though and that’s more expensive.

10€ in France. As expensive as fast food.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Paris ? I get kebabs for 6-7€ (without beverages) and Berliners for 8-10 here near the German border

[–] heavydust@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

It's more or less the same price everywhere in France. 8/9 for a kebab. 10 with fries.

[–] remon@ani.social 1 points 3 hours ago

In Switzerland we start with 10€ ... but I've seen up to 18€ (well, CHF but almost the same).

I've always wanted to try döner, but they're impossible to find in the US, at least outside large cities :(

[–] zod000@lemmy.ml 1 points 37 minutes ago

Yeah, they are rare in the US and usually in cites only. There was a döner place not too far my from work in my old city and I haven't found a place yet in my new location. The Greek food isn't as good here either, so gyros haven't been able to step in as a replacement. First world problem, but I still miss them.

[–] Djinn_Indigo@lemm.ee 4 points 11 hours ago

Gyros and shawarma are both types of / related to döner; you might have more luck finding one of them.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 2 points 10 hours ago

I saw a chain for a brief time called “Vertskebap” but it didn’t last long. Maybe because they were also charging $16 a pop.

[–] suite403@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

McDonalds is nasty. I don't touch the stuff in the US and feel it would really be a waste of what could have been a good meal in EU.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Dang it, if y'all keep posting stuff like this you're gonna makes me want to immigrate even more than I already do.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Döner macht schöner, auf Dauer auch schlauer. McDonalds just makes fat.

[–] UncleArthur@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

Lamb doner meat and chips, with lettuce, onions and burger sauce. Food of the gods!

[–] Perhapsjustsniffit@lemmy.ca 4 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Not as good as it's far superior cousin "The Halifax Donair". Come visit and try one.

God i wish i could try real döner, didn't have a taste for it when I was young, and there just isn't any anywhere near me where i live now. Which just feels weird to me, i always thought that was a guarantee anywhere near a military installation
