What has kekab to do with potatoes? Don’t get near my kebab with those abominations.
In various places with turkish diaspora, the locals treat it as a generic takeway, so various other things are served that aren’t part of turkish cuisine, like chips, pizza, maybe fried fish.
Turkish people remind me of the Chinese in a way, they know how to adapt their cuisine to meet whatever the locals like. There are a handful of very successful bagel shops run by Turkish people near where I live.
I wonder if they are sephardic jews?
EDIT : Ask about simit to make them smile!
You don’t add fries to your kebab!?
I’ve never seen that, but it was my first guess as well. People here are already doing Doner-boxes with fries, meat and sauce in a takeout box, I’m assuming for people under doctor’s orders to eat a veggie-free high-grease and high-sodium diet.
Years ago I’ve ate one with fries in Italy. It was okay ish. I mean its extra fat salt and carbs added so it must be.
I don’t.
In Belgium, fries are added to the Dürüms. Surprisingly good. But in Berlin where Döner Kebab is at home, potatoes in the Dürüm is a special dish that only some places even have on the menu. I wonder where OP is from
And I whish even less had it on their menu. I have had more that one dürüm ruined by such additions. Sometimes without asking and sometimes because I forgot how much I hated it the last time.
Okay without asking is a crime, but Gemüse Döner with greasy fried potatoes, zucchini and carrots is delicious and you can’t change my mind :D
But in Berlin where Döner Kebab is at home
Listen here you Open Suse using Hans, Berlin is where the kebab is living at the moment… abroad. The home is somewhere in the ottoman empire.
In Belgium, fries are added to the Dürüms.
Goddamnit. There is only one awesome european hybrid kebab, and it’s the dutch kapsolon; Gouda Cheese and Döner Kebap, together at last.
open suse using hans
you have won the argument. i concede
Akschually, while the döner was invented by a turkish immigrant it was invented in berlin making berlin its home
Not really, döner sandwiches have existed before that, and this is Germans trying to take unjust credit.
EDIT : If Döner is German, how come no ethnic Germans are cooking it? Turning Point Kebab
Potatoes
abiminations
Seamus, get the armalite
some places use french fries for volume instead of cabbage/coleslaw. Ngl, they be cookin, potatoes absorb the sauce and the meat juice, making it incredibly more tasty.
it’s great, u should try it >:3
No
In Armenia, they put potatoes into shawarma (a more common name for durum/kebab), so it’s a little bit of everything: meat, veggies, potatoes, sauce. But it’s non-essential and not a lot would change if it’s removed.
You guys would be amazed how much potato meal is used for
Potato starch goes into paper and board manufacturing, textiles, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, and also food as a thickener.
Some potatoes are also fermented into alcohol (vodka) or bioethanol
I’ve even heard rumors of some people boiling and then eating them!
No way! Like in a stew?
For example!
I HAVE to write this down!
Doner with potato? WTF. Where I come from, “Döner” is meat and vegetables in flatbread, I don’t see where potato is supposed to come in.
Either way, before potatoes were introduced in my country, most people ate bread or grain-based porridges/gruels with every meal. Since it was usually wholegrain, that might even have been healthier than peeled potatoes.
Doner wth fries is very common where I am
Kebab on chip, house sauce, hold the tomatoes.
and vegetables
Seems the most logical place however potato bread has seen use.
The way I heard it, great potato famine wasn’t as big a deal as the extreme exploitation, colonization, and failure of industrialization as well as landlords and religious apartheid that began earlier.
Which very much surprised me.
It exacerbated existing problems and piled more on top.
Exploitation led to potato being relied upon near exclusively due to how cheap it was per calorie. So when the famine hit, it affected many places but it affected Ireland uniquely severely.
Depends on how you define, “potato.” There are some really similar tube roots, like sweet potato and batatas. Taro, beets, parsnips and other veggies make really good chips.
Starve to death.
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Climate Change motherfuckerAs an American all of these consequences seem nonsensical
You aren’t concerned about losing potato chips or French fries? I’m confiscating your American card.
Well,if it wasn’t for the famine, I would still be in Ireland
If potatoes disappeared, i would probably just not eat potatoes. May need to eat more bread because of it, from 94.3% of all food i eat to 94.6% of all food i eat
Do kebap shops often use potatoes??
*Bag of Chips
Typically the chippys give you them in a box, in the past an old newspaper, but a bag would probably be acceptable.
… Go for sweet potatoes instead? There’s a lot of vegetables from which crisps can be made.
