I like how the conversation starts out as "that's soo bad..."
and it's slowly devolved into "ohh and you know what is really GOOD!?" LOL

For the record, poutine + creamy coleslaw is yummy beyond words...

Poutine? agent61, you must be a Canadian or love Canada, like me. Poutine's such a super comfort food in Q!

A Doner kebab is actually quite healthy compared to some of the monstrosities pictured in tiwyf.

Two words: "Bacon Explosion". Google it if this is news to you.

One of these has always been my dream!

At our state fair, they also have the "frightening" fried stuff, the nastiest-sounding being deep-fied Twinkies.

Give me a funnel cake...

I had a deep fried Twinkie in Las Vegas last summer - it was $1 and I figured why not. I was surprised that it was actually rather tasty.

Just for the record...
They sell funnel cake mix at Bed Bath and Beyond and sometimes at Big Lots.
Pretty good stuff too.

Oooooh, deep fry that sucker!

The Doner (actually it's Döner, but I won't be picky) is a sandwich invented by Turks living in Germany. It is by far the most consumed fast food here. (I ate one yesterday.)

So about six months or a year ago, a scandal broke out here. The heart of the sandwich is the meat, which is a sort of a huge meatball that they put on a spit and roast until it's crusty brown. Well, this huge meatball thing is delivered to the Turkish places frozen. The biggest supplier in Germany got caught with a HUGE supply of frozen meat which had been frozen for five years. The owner of the company hung himself.

I'll see if I can find an article somewhere in English.

At any rate, the answer to the question, "What is in a Doner Kebap?" is: rotten meat.

Tastes mighty good, though.

Hey if you cook it long enough it can't hurt you, right?

Got it:

Guten Appetit!

I wonder how one would taste if you stuck a skewer through it and stuck the whole thing in a deep fryer?

That would kill anything bad for you, and it would probably taste great.

I gotta give credit to the supplier. He was a good sport about it.

Man, I gained twenty lbs just looking at the pictures!

We're watching an anime called "Deathnote." This was also made into a two part movie (with a third sequel which had nothing to do with the 'note' in question but used one of the most popular characters.) The lead detective, "L" is a nut for sweets. The kind of guy who only drinks tea as something to melt the 16 sugars he puts into it!

This is one of his favorite foods, a "dough-kabob". He's amazed that he can never get anyone else to eat one!

As a person who watches my health, when looking at those pictures, I'm sorry man, but the mindset of humans who do that to their bodies is so incredibly, absolutely, FOREIGN to me, that I can't even begin to comprehend it. It's unfathomable. It's not even within the outer fringes of my universe.

To each their own, but I just could NOT do that to my temple.

I don't even watch my health as well as I should and that stuff makes me go "ewww."

I remember Johnny Carson getting into trouble with NBC when he had a health expert on. At one point, the lady said; "And you know, Mr. Carson. Your body is a temple." Johnny replied; "Yeah, my temple's not in very good shape. But I have a woman that comes in once a week!"

Yeah, I'll have one of those and a diet coke thanks.

Cheesecake on a stick, genius.

When I was a student I lived in the curry mile in Manchester. I lived for a year on donner kebabs. Not the tiny pitta bread ones the unlawful amounts of meet wrapped in a naan ones. We had a contest one night and I ate 3, my housemate ate 3 and a half and was ill.

Not long after I left they found 2 alsation's heads in one of the freezers.

Nowadays I'll have the odd shish kebab but I don't touch the elephant's leg anymore.

Enjoy!

Where are the deep fried oreos?
