Doners can be very bad for you Doner kebabs sold in the UK contain "shocking" levels of salt, fat and calories, a survey has concluded.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU DON'T SAY!
Now I don't like doners anyway, but, if I'm not much mistaken, isn't the whole point of a doner to be a big pile of grease and yuckiness? I.e. just what people want after a night out? Hardly a shock is it :rolleyes:

Mind you they are called Doner kebabs because you "Doner whats in them" :)

where is Nemo when you need an opinion about Kebabs.
Hooves, lips and arses was how I think of them. I would not eat a donner, but nothing wrong with a nice Lamb fillet Kebab, lots of healthy rabbit food and plenty of chilli sauce to kill the taste of the rabbit food and wrapped in a bloody great nam. none of you pathetic little pita things.

Have only ever had one, 20 years ago, never again.
I find that they are better quality at lunchtime... fresher and the staff take more care.
Different at 3:00am when bladdered and obnoxious.
A bad Kebab is Horrid. A Bad Chinese is revolting. Had a Thai from a place that was inedible....
My Local Kebabery is a place of wonder. Can you even get a decent Kebab north of Watford?

2,000 calories per Doner kebab :shock: only to be eaten on your way home after large quantities of alcohol on a night out, yes I have been one of those people :lol: :puker:

I have stopped eating Doners - although I do like them when sober so I must be wierd ;) - my local kebaberry doesn't seem to sell many and only fires up the heater thing when you ask for one - I stopped buying them after I noticed that - yuck!

I only eat the Chicken Shish that my local Kebab place do. They are a proper Turkish Kebab place with the most amazing Turkish Flat Bread. You ask for what you want and they Barbeque it on front of you. It takes a wee while longer but my Jolly Jesus they are gooooooooood.

Kebabs are a wonderous celebration of life, food and sharing. If like me you do (or in my case, used to, before I moved) frquent Wilmslow Road, Manchester on a very frequent basis with different groups of friends and have a chicken tikka kebab you will obviously agree with me.
Also, what's all this nonsence about kebabs being unhealthy.. pshhhh I say. Go for a chillo kebab, nice slips of lamb on a bed of rice a good solid meal if you ask me....
HOWEVER if you are talking about that nasty carp served in a pitta bread that falls apart at the very mention of sauce then BAN THE LOT and bring real kebabs down to Bristol because I miss em...

Yes, in the past couple of years I've eaten more sober than drunk. That said, I live in a predominantly Muslim area where the kebabs are more of a 'normal' food and of a higher quality than your typical post-binge miscellaneous meat pile.
EDIT: When a visiting American friend was first over, we took him to a kebab place after a few jars. He nearly fell over saying "WTF is that?!" when we pointed the 'food' out to him. Oddly, when we explained to him it was a grilled elephant's leg, he believed us and happily ate it. :D
Anyone for a Doner?

however where i am now in the southwest there aint a local kebab shop (a disgrace) an travelling is needed to get one!:smt011
c'mon now after a few beers im hardly likely to jump in the car/on the bike an get meslf a grease-pop am i? avta make do wiv chips after a beer or 5, aint the same dammit, theres no excuse considering the amount of blurry sheep down ere!

It's difficult for me to eat one drunk when I dont do booze.
I take the stance that they are a little piece of greasy meaty paradise. Everyone should include them in a balanced diet.

Yes - I'm disgusting. :mrgreen:
How can you even consider a kebab in naan bread, that's gross. I don't eat naans when I have Indian food, let alone Turkish.

How strange, being as the doner kebab was invented by a Turk immigrant to Germany.
He died only last week.

There is a great Kebab place in Aberdeen - just down the road from a bakery.
The cool thing about it was you could have it in a Pitta, or as a topping on a Pizza.
Then you could pick up a couple of rowies to help keep it down ;)

we can all agree a mixed kebab is just the best... i did have a kebab roll on sunday though.. took about an hour and a half to eat. if anyone knows watford pizza by the dome roundabout (asda) on the A41. if 1 doner kebab has 98% of your daily fat intake i dread to think what is happening to my arteries as i type.

All of the kebab shops in North London seem to have rebranded themselves into 'Ocakbasi restaurants' in the last few years. There'a really posh one up the road from me, where people go for romantic meals. Can't say that a doner kebab is really my idea of a romantic evening.

ooh, sometimes I have kebabs delivered. Mixed kebab which is a mix of shish, kofte, chicken mushroom and pepper with a nice bit of doner draped over the top, extra chilli sauce, spare pitta as the one it comes in is so full of grease I have to throw it and a box of mixed salad. yummy. Prefer that carrot cake though.
