The humble Kebab... known in England as a Delicacy and ordered around about midnight when you've had way too much to drink.. usually covered in lashings of chilli sauce, before being dropped into the road because the high mixture of beer and chilli doesn't go to well and causes the conasuer to chuck up in the road right next to it :P

 

It's unusual for Kebabs to be wrapped in tortillas. They are usually in cut pitta bread. The "steak" as you refer to it as, is actually reformed lamb spit roasted vertically on a skewer and cut with a rather large blade... it is then placed inside a hot cut ipen pitta bread and topped with Salad. They are the native food of Turkey.

Yus! ^ That brings back memories. Yet it is more common here to order it with garlic sauce. Kinda smelly, but it keeps everything inside more often.

 

EDIT: Actually, they are wrapped in these "pancakes" more often than you think. The "dürüm" stands for that wrap-thingy.

 

And this is the roasted lamb spit you refer to:

the wrap must be something they do in Europe then, cos it's always pitta bread in the UK.

 

This talk of Kebabs is making me hungry.... time to phone Acropolis I think and order one for collection! :P

Yeah they do the pita bread here too, it's kinda fifty fifty.

 

I'm getting hungry too, but over here the only thing you can get delivered is pizza :(

Finally someone explained it I was in the nxapb IRC and all they would say is it's what you have when you've had too much to drink and I was just like wtf? I call meat and stuff on a stick a kebab...

 

Something like this but nowhere near as neat:

How's this for not neat? Go Native American Tacos.

Tacos without meat just seem wrong, meat to me helps define it as a taco :P.
