villa4europe Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 That’s what you get with Turkish kebabs over here, a wide variety of decent quality salad and some different home made humus like sauces disguising the fact that there’s next to no meat in there...which is shame because the lamb meat is really good (none of the elephants leg bollocks) maybe it’s just because that’s what I grew up on but give me a pita bread stuffed with chicken tikka kebab meat from a Greek Cypriot chippie any day of the week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Never understand why gyros pita isn’t more widely available over here. Not just the meat, tzaziki etc but even the pita bread is different. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say it every time I come back from Greece, defo a gap in the market and can you imagine the trade you'd do (pre-virus at least) on a Saturday night in a town centre!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoisin sauce is very good as well, although can taste a little bit too much like liquid sugar sometimes. I also like that really thick, dark soy sauce for dipping spring rolls in. And that Vietnamese fish sauce (I think?) that you dip fried spring rolls in. Actually is there such thing as a bad sauce? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandy is a beer/ lager diluted , so that would make your kebab the shandy as you are diluting from all that tasty meat you could be eating ask yourself , Why would you fill yourself up on pointless empty calories of green stuff when you can eat nothing but delicious fat dripping meat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not talking an entire salad course but its like going to Subway and asking for just meat. No need to even bother with a menu in subway it’s Bread , chicken , melted cheese , bacon , bread subway heaven and no plant materials were harmed in the making of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about sauce here, spicy stuff, as if I have lettuce on a kebab, tomato and onion yes, green stuff?... what planet are you on?

villa4europe Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 If you like spicy flavoured mayo then the heinz curry mango sauce is good, not hot but plenty of flavour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
