Now I know that there must be some of you out there who specialise in kebabs, or more the eating of

I don't seem to be able to get that authentic kebab shop taste(no stupid comments ) when having a barbecue. I won't even attempt a doner stylee one but want to know if any of you know whatsort of marinade, herbs, spices etc to use. It's more for chicken or the mince type ones.

Cheers in advance

Sorry Karlos, the only times I've experienced kebabs, I've always somehow had them twice over if you get my drift. Can't help sorry.

Can never eat a kebab without thinking of Jade from Big Brother...

You hardly stand a chance here in the UK. The quality of the lamb or Chicken is fukking terrible. Wont touch chicken unless its from a "Farmers Market"

The stuff in kebab shops is horrid...We just dont do meat well in the UK.

"We just dont do meat well in the UK. "

Hmm, I think you may be wrong on that point, donner meat cannot be compared to the finest meat Wales, England, Scotland and Ireland have to offer, go and sample a few dishes throughout the UK in decent places and you may get my point !

You all make me curious about what these kebab shops of yours offer. (I can't help thinking of the phrase I heard "Oohh, bloody Pakis!" - must have been from My Beautiful Laundrette or something..)

Here we have a lot of Indian restaurants, offering tandoor that for some reason MUST be vibrant red in color, and many Greek places selling gyros. But kebabs are not a common fast-food item here.

So I'm sorry that I can't advise you on how to duplicate the flavor you can get in shops, but I would encourage you to just go ahead and try different marinades. Try something you've never thought of combining before. What can you lose, just one batch of meat...

Lizard,

Kebabs here (donner) consist of offal, which is basically the sh1te that's left over on an animal that can be legally eaten.

It's spiced up to taste reasonable and has loads of fat added.

My dog used to lap up the kebab meat that I only ever bought when hammered.

But she'd eat cow **** too

Hello

Make sure that they boil the meat first. If the "elephant leg" stays there too long then flys lay eggs in the middle and maggots start eating their way through.

I had a friend who was a public health inspector. I wouldn't go near a Kebab shop.

There's nothing worse than staring into a badly packed kebab at 2 o'clock in the morning. Beer goggles may help

On the subject of kebabs anyone here tried the legendary Kobideh (sp?) kebabs of 'The Rusholme Chippy' in Rusholme, Manchester, UK.

IMHO they are probably the best kebabs in the world - been selling them from there for at least 20 years maybe longer - now if I could get my hands on some of that chilli sauce ....

20 year old kebabs? Sounds lovely!

I invented my own recipe for Sheek kebabs. Get a pack of lamb mince and mix it in a bowl with a good squirt of tomato puree, a tablespoon of Garam Masala (experiment with this quantity - try adding a bit more if the flavour isn't strong enough for you), some fresh chopped mint, half a finely chopped onion, and a crushed clove of garlic. If you want it a hot, add some chilli powder.

Divide the mixture and thread it onto long metal skewers so they look like long sausages. You need to mix with your hands and it's messy, but worth it. The tomato puree should bind the mixture pretty well. Cook these on the barbecue, and then serve them with salad on pitta bread.

Yummy!

Would very much have to agree with you Jacko.

Well that description of a vertical rotating piece of meat that's carved to order sounds like what they have in a typical Greek gyro shop here - can be quite good sometimes.

NEEDS MORE RED PEPPER of course...
