Meat on a stick > Mc "meat"

Döner's are tasty, local and not expensive

Yeah, it just so happens I have been getting obsessed with it lately! They are also healthier and have more natural ingredients than McDonald's could bother to have.

We have these in maritime Canada as well but we spell it Donair

[–] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 28 minutes ago

Its funny, in ontario we only have shawarma. Lots and lots of shawarma, but I'd never heard of doner until i went to europe.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

And a Doner actually fills you up.

I was avoiding American companies fast food since the genocide in Gaza started since I didn't know which companies didn't have business with israel, I knew mcdonalds and starbucks did, so I didn't buy anything from them since then, but now I'm just avoiding them all. Since I started I've found a Brazilian fast food company that sells calzones and they're really cheap and tasty, as well as being much faster than the other fastfood places. I am now just missing a coffee shop that sells stuff like macchiato or those other drinks that starbucks sells, I love those and I cannot replicate them at home even with an espresso machine

There is a phone app called "No Thanks" which lets you search any company name to see whether they support Israel financially. It is always the big international (and usually American) companies. Rarely companies which are mostly contained within one country.

PLZ Freeze and ship to US, I'll pay the tariffs :)

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm sorry but you'll have to come to Europe for the full experience

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

Ohh, I've been. It's been a while, like pre €. We rented a car with unlimited miles and drove from Paris to Switzerland stopping all over in between then train to UK on the way out. Worst case, need the youngest to get a few years on him before we do a grand tour.

Though, I'm seriously looking at digital nomadding in Portugal. They're set up pretty well for it.

But for the moment, that would be some REALLY expensive döner after airfare and hotel accommodations.

Ich bin doch schon schön.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 1 points 3 hours ago

Ist ja auch die Steigerung. Auch der Spitzensportler wird durch Doping besser. Also auch du als Schönheit mithilfe von Döner

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?

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 5 minutes ago

Both, Falafel is great with lamb.

[–] Sporkbomber@lemm.ee 3 points 2 hours ago

A vendor that lets their gyros moulder probably isn't making sanitary falafels either. So neither.

[–] BrutallyHonestPOS@lemm.ee 5 points 4 hours ago

fml... but latter

[–] drasglaf@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 28 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 13 points 20 hours ago (9 children)

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 6 hours ago (2 children)

Even when you choose the beef one?

[–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

We just said that beef is still cooking, we can make a chicken one in the meantime. 🙃

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago

They're actually a bunch of chickens in a human suit too

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

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours 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 11 points 19 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.

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 hours ago

That's just surprise seasoning

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 19 hours ago

Just need to pick the 6 good ones!

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 19 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.
