lamb donor kebab really does taste like chicken

yup its true it is chicken with some beef and virtually no lamb

So what's really in your kebab?

Next time you're tucking into your chipper favourite, take a moment to note that it might not be exactly what you splashed the cash on. Here's what was really in the samples found to contain undeclared meat...

1. Kebab meat slices

Menu description: Lamb

2. Doner kebab meat

Menu description: Lamb

Dunno, I don't think I've ever seen "lamb" on the menu, usually just "doner kebab" which just means turned meat in Turckish.

Anyway, Iskanders, Dame St, charcoal chicken shish meal, you won't want another doner after that.

Iskanders and Zaytoon use 100% lamb, the difference is very noticeable.

At least it's not horse, eh?

Just like KFC so, I'm pretty sure the only thing that says chicken on the Menu is Popcorn Chicken.

Apparently they cant call anything chicken because there all deformed.

I thought it was bollox but then i went in and looked at the menu and not a mention of chicken anywhere except for the popcorn bad boys.

Haha i seeeeeee

Still think its weird there's not a mention of chicken on the menu.

i don't mind i still eat it, delish

Wishiwasa Littlebitaller · 24-07-2014 03:15PM

In fairness, the 'lamb' on the meat spit never even looks like it's lamb, it's almost always anemic and grey looking.

With one exception: Zaytoon. Their doner spit looks, and tastes, like lamb.

Edit: I am in no way whatsoever affiliated with Zaytoon. Although, it is true that I do own shares in the company.

It's everywhere, just not in the actual names but that's probably because of the fact it's a chicken "restaurant" :P

Hahahaha Makes sense really, Why advertise chicken when all they pretty much serve is chicken

Common sense

Davarus Walrus · 24-07-2014 03:19PM

The only time most people have a kebab is when they are cross-eyed from drink. It could be slices of old donkey and people would still eat them. Well the half that doesn't end all over your clothes.

Chicken shish and not chicken doner are definitely the way to go.

The kebab house on dominick street is Galway do a good shish. Takes a while as it has to be cooked from the fridge.

Kebabs are good for the belly.

Get in my belly, kebabs.
