tom21 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 What is a doner kebab? A doner kebab is a popular take-away food consisting of thin slices cut from a cylindrical block of minced and seasoned meat (beef, lamb or chicken), grilled on a vertical, rotating spit and eaten on unleavened bread with fresh salad and sauce. It is not a shish-kebab! Does the above fit your description of a doner kabab? If it does you do not want the block as I assume you do not have a vertical grill or eat 50.000 kababs a day. So why not do the meat yourself. Buy the meat and freeze it. When required put the meat through a meat slicer. It has to be frozen or you can not slice it thin. Cook the meat in a fry pan with the seasoning you like (that is the hard part) the fry pan has to be hot as the meat has to be well cooked (close to burnt). Put it on the correct bread and salad with the sauce Not as good as the real thing but if you can get the seasoning to you liking there be no complaints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjmark Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Only 18,000 bt Say a good Doner is 120 bt retail, but costs 20bt to make, then if you make and eat 180 Doners it will pay for itself! http://classifieds.thaivisa.com/miscellane...-sale-2755.html Invite me over, and I will immediately save you 360 bt (I can eat three in a flash!!! - Lots of garlic please...)

Ulysses G. Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Woody's has the meat that turns around on a spit and he calls them "Doner Kebabs". I think they might be what you are looking for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymouse Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Personally I don't think you'll find the same here as your used to in the UK, sad as it is whenever I go back I hit the local kebab shop for a big lump of fatty meat in a bit of bread - nothing beats it The UK kebabs are more lamb or mutton? based. Woodys is good as UG pointed out and I also like the little Indian place on Rajawiti that sells chicken kebabs and samosas and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be a bit biased being a Brit but even though we don't have a great reputation for our homegrown food, we have a huge Indian immigrant population that provides us with the most popular food in the UK, a good curry Haven't travelled much on the Indian sub continent but the best Indian food I've eaten has been in East London and Singapore.

Technically (and at the risk of being pedantic ) most of the Indian food in the UK is really Bengali or Bangladeshi ... as Muslims they will prepare the meat dishes which many vegetarian Hindus will not touch ... and that is more to British tastes. I was posted to Mumbai for 6 months for work, working in a company full of Jains (kind of a strict branch of Hinduism), and found that home made veggie curries can be really very, very good. Still wouldn't mind a big greasy doner once in a while mind ... *drools* CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must of got it on a bad day. Chicken meat was luke warm,(dodgy bum material). And it was covered in some sweet tasteing jizzy looking substance. My mate had the chicken curry, with dryed out crunchy yellow rice. We were very underwhelmed by the whole experience. Most people that recomended it said that when he sets up at the temple in walking street it really is good, so i will give it another go and ask him to make the chicken hot.

FarangCravings Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) The ones I am looking for is the lamb ones which are delicious and served with chili sauce (not yoghurt) Woodys is chicken and nothing like UK Doner Kebabs as are most of the kebabs I have seen here. I used to make them many years ago in the UK when my Dad had a chippie and I am looking at doing something here in CM and would love to of found a supplier of kebab meat to add to my menu Ahhh well guess I am going to have to get my remembering hat on and see if i can make it. i know most people from the UK love a good doner or a good curry after a few pints if I get my way it will happen sooooon here in CM LOL Edited January 23, 2008 by FarangCravings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) Wiki is our friend. In the US, the Arabic version called shawarma is quite common. That and gyros, it is rare to see it called donner in the US. I Know in Oz, it is usually donner. They all use the meat on a rotating spit and are not the same as kebabs. I have to say the best version I had was in Turkey and there it was served as a platter meal, not a sandwich. I think in Thailand it would also be called shawarma or donner, not gyros (which is Greek specific). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%B6ner_kebab Edited January 23, 2008 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarangCravings Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Nahhh Nothing at the Peak as I have a Bar there and would of seen it Doner Kebab is done on the same machine as the Swarrma and Gyro its just minced lamb with spices instead of mostly what i have seen here which is chicken i am doing a lot of sourcing for a new venture so will keep looking although I am thinking I will probably have to learn how to do it again its not that hard to do just a little time consuming.

I've never been to England, but that is what the Limeys say! Well then, on the chance that you have never been to New York either, might I interest you in the purchase of a certain bridge connecting Manhattan to one of the outer boroughs? And, tip of the hat to the OP, good luck finding the meat you need for doner kebabs. I have never had precisely what they seem to be, although I have had some of the similar dishes others have described here, but they sound delish, luscious, scrumptious, marvellous, divine, to-die-for and, putting such highfalutin terms aside, just plain downright tasty, so I will be lining up one day to try them, if you ever have them on offer.

meadish_sweetball Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Sounds like a "Gyro" sandwich..is it? Döner kebab (Turkish) = Gyros (Greek) = Shawarma (Israel; EDIT and apparently the Arab world) Here's a link on how kebabs have developed - the stuff we Europeans know from back home apparently originated in a suburb to Berlin, as an adaption of the originally Turkish dish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%B6ner_ke...round_the_world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiPauly Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 When I used to eat Kebabs back home I never had a clue what was in them, I can't remember ever having one sober, and the beauty of them is that you always manage to spill loads of it down your shirt an you get home looking something like Sir Les Patterson The vendors know full well a drunk can't handle a kebab so I reckon they used to fill them to overbrimming on purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad used to say, "What the bloody 'ell 'ave you bin eating," in the morning. I've never seen anything like those donners in CM, Woody's is closest but still not close. Sukhumvit bar squalor region has a few, tasty, but not the mega calorific grease hamper we all know and love.

Woodys is good as UG pointed out and I also like the little Indian place on Rajawiti that sells chicken kebabs and samosas and stuff. Don't know about the Indian Restaurant but Woody definitely does them - call them swarma rolls, gyros, or whatever. The are a block of meat laid horizontally and spiked through on a vertical rod and cooked by a gas flame coming from the sides. The meat is sliced off and laid on unleavened bread (no yeast) with tomato and shredded lettuce. I prefer mine with chilli and bbq sauce but whatever does your fancy. Send a PM to woody and he will possibly send you a reply as to his supplier of the meat and equipment - mind you being in business he may prefer to keep that little bit of information to himself. Woody is also the only place in the world that I have seen PORK Doner Kebabs - very nice and one of my favourites - wonder if he would add beetroot, fried egg and a pineapple ring on one for me Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm Beetroot ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
