I've never had a doner kebab. That rotating thing hanging there for days just never did it for me.

But sad though, cancer is not a nice way to go.

I find this quite sad, there are certain times(usually after a lot of beer) where I like to take unnecessary risks and the kebab has often been part of this. Of course the fall out the following morning is not quite so appealing.
Thanks mahmet RIP

Never heard of doner kebab here also. We do have shish kebab. Great food.

Doner kebabs are made from elephants' legs.

All that rotating and reheating, no wonder people throw up after eating it.

True, but for me at times they are like donuts to Homer

When I was a student in Berlin, that was by far the only edible thing we could easily find everywhere
Berlin being the second largest turkish city, no doubt the most famoust german meal of all, reknowned throughout the planet, would be Turkish
Geez, I have to find one now.. made me hungry.

I saw barbecued rat in Laos but wasn't tempted.

nah ill stick to rabbit for rodents

I need some donkey meat!

[Mr Tattie Heid]

I've had doner kebab exactly twice in the UK. I understand that kebab shops do most of their business after pub closing, but for me, the craving comes on hangover day.

I've also had a donair in Halifax, Nova Scotia. There's an intersection there that has donair shops on three corners--Grafton and Blowers. (I think that rhymes with "flowers".) There'd probably be four, but the church won't sell.

I feel sad for all those elephants...but the people eating their limbs are mostly legless, too.

I think that's really got more to do with the 16 pints consumed before the kebab Les

So-called Polish sausage outside the Rogers Centre?

Now that you mention it, I want to know who the donor was before I eat it.

[Malt-Teaser]

TH you beat me to it, but I always wondered who donated what for these strange after-drinking rituals.

For those that grew up listening to test cricket on the radio with their dad's and grandads' the untimely death of the Bearded Wonder is very sad.

I think a very fitting tribute from Christopher Martin Jenkins,

That is tragic, the gents on TMS could make the dullest match interesting and often I enjoyed the chats they had in the lunch break more than the match itself.Their camoraderie and humour were uniquely English.

Another sad loss last week, the wonderfully talented John Martyn(every home should have a copy of solid air). Beautiful voice and guitar technique and although not all his music made the most of his talent he was always spellbinding on stage

Indeed. A sad day - great actor for the roles I knew him in, and a serious actor for many years before his fame in Airplane et al.
