Doner kebab vendors would probably have to come up with a different name for their product in the U.S.Stargazeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09566854038842118222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-3380455714588703192009-02-03T09:37:00.000+00:002009-02-03T09:37:00.000+00:00Doner Kebab is a Turkish dish.

My husband is English, he says doner kebab, too, which always make me think of the Donner party stuck in the winter snows of the Sierro Mountains in the 1840s! ha!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033443643442246531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-8077405286616341732009-02-02T22:30:00.000+00:002009-02-02T22:30:00.000+00:00I was hoping somebody else would ask this, but no ...I was hoping somebody else would ask this, but no luck so far.<BR/><BR/>As far as I know, "doner kebab" has not yet reached the state of Texas. In fact, I'd never heard of it.<BR/><BR/>After looking it up on Google, it looks like something we call gyros. Yes? No?

Try to say something to an American or a European - forget it! <BR/> It's often a matter of taste and money, what they would eat or cook. I wonder what must they thought of Dr. Colin T Campbell. 8-:)Stan Bleszynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922719716458272303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-52716967742994721072009-01-31T21:24:00.000+00:002009-01-31T21:24:00.000+00:00Hi Stan,That's about how I see it too.

Sometimes the waiters/chef even understand gluten!<BR/><BR/>PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527788116058656094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-2963611393890522352009-01-31T21:21:00.000+00:002009-01-31T21:21:00.000+00:00Kebabs are the only reasonably priced meals I am a...Kebabs are the only reasonably priced meals I am able to eat on my business trips to Ireland! On my longest trip, 5 weaks of donners almost every day! There was just nothing else available unless I cooked myself. They even cut fat off the rashers! There used to be excellent very fat roasted ducks at Chinese take-aways until they spoiled that with a new low fat bread of ducks, so that's out. The second good places are, surprisingly, some upmarket Indian restaurants: everything lathered in rich buttery sauces, lovely! And quite pricey.Stan Bleszynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922719716458272303noreply@blogger.com
