Doner Kebabs
 

Are they really that fattening?

I usally have a small doner, lots of salad with no sauce.

I've already had 2 this week and fancy one tonight.

Will I start to turn into a fat munter. :wonder:

You should be alright if you shag it off!

Can't my man is away :(:(

You'll have to get a stand in :)

I think that doner meat is meant to be one of the most fattening meats out there I am afraid. I too love them, and yes I have put on weight because of them (and all the other takeout and beer :D ).

I think doner meat is mostly lamb? And lamb is the most fattening type of meat. Doner is also no the best cut of meat, heck its the worst they can find. So you will be getting and even higher fat content than just eating the meat itself.

Here is a link with some more info:

P.S. a friend of mine used to work for a catering company. Ever wondered what happens to that rotating lump of meat when it gets too small to stay on the spit? Do you think they throw out what they cannot skewer to make kebabs out of?

Nope, when that large lump of meat is too small, my friend was one of the people who collected what was left. Those remains are then added to fresh meat, and the whole lot reshaped into another large lump ready for sale. This of course means that even a "fresh" lump of meat has a percentage of older meat in there. My friend described the practice as "rank". It still tastes nice though :D

Doner kebabs contain up to three times recommended daily limit of fat and salt, finds study | UK news | guardian.co.uk

I like this quote

:eek:

so long as this is the only meat you are eating, then on his return i think he would not mind too much:D

Think I will pass on one tonight then!

Hmmm I don't know what to have for tea!

:eek: lol:lol1:

Why don't you have a chicken kebab instead ;)

Not really keen on the chicken :(

I like em too & try not to think about what they are made of :(

TX.

Sorry but what a load of bollocks. the last bit is cut up and served same as the rest. People don't half talk some crap about kebabs.

:lol:

I have to agree, I have seen it cooked off a number of times now, so am pretty sure you are right there. lol

As for the meat, there was a docu on about them a while back, and unfortunatly they found, while rather fattening, its no where near as bad as people like to make out.
Also unless its advertised as "lamb doner" dont expect it to be lamb.

I tend to have shish these days, with a sprinkle of doner if im in the mood.

The one we use is really good. The salad is always really fresh and the red cabbage is not the dry stuff its got a kinda vinager on it. The doner meat tastes so good too.

I was round my mates the other month and we had a doner from her local and it was horrible! Really really salty, salad was limp and horrible hard red cabbage!

Oh god I so want one now :(

I like the taste of good quality doner but it does have a ridiculously high fat content so stick to chicken. For those that love doner meat but don't want to have a heart attack get them to grill the meat for you as this will get rid of some of the fat.

Just read our locals menu and they advertise the doner as fresh lamb specially seasoned.

So if in fact it gets tested and it has other meat/things init can they get done for it:wonder:

Doner kebabs are one of the least fattening food stuffs you can eat ( along with trays of chicken curry off the bone and rice ).

The main reason is that 99% of them are bought by massively pi55ed people, are eaten, then chucked back up onto the side of the nearest phone box, along with a couple of pints of lager.

So not only do you get the pleasure of eating it, you don't get a chance to ingest all the fat, and as a bonus lose the fattening properties from the last couple of pints you have drunk.

Or, if you are really worried, you can try the classic drunk trick of trying to hold an open king size ( with everything on it ) in one hand, while you use the other to support yourself against the wall of an alley while having a slash. Invariably you will watch dismayed as the entire contents of the kebab slide out of the pitta and land in your steaming pile of urine, leaving you with just the bread, and a couple of straggly bits of carrot, which you eat anyway as you stagger to the taxi rank.

i can only say one thing about doner kebabs

:luvlove:

Go on spoil yourself its Saturday night, go for large doner kebab with salad, chilli, garlic and chips

I have a chest infection atm so anything that passes my lips tastes like paint fumes :(

I resisted I had fish instead.

Only because I know I have one every Wednesday!

Awww bless ya. I had one in January this year, not pleasant, hope you get better soon :thumb:

thanks.
