Topic: The elusive donner

[Vindaloo-crazy]

Well it's a lot less hassle Axe. I did think about putting bits under a grill to crisp them but the taste was so good the entire lot had gone before I made my mind up.
I like to think that ground beef is making up for the chicken lips and anal tissue you normally get in a donner! :
The sliced bits can be grilled, easily, on a barbie or a grill.

For sure, I don't eat Donner anymore, especially now you can't tell whether its got chicken lips in it or not. I used to love donner but it changed so much over the years, its not even tasty anymore. 

I'm gonna have a go at this but make a smaller portion me thinks.

You're right, and I shudder to think what's in it.

Let me know how you get on.

There are different grades of doner meat, apparently. CLICK HERE

You'd assume that the cost factor would mean most places buy grade C kebab meat though?

I remember going to the Fast Food Exhibition at Brighton Centre way back in the late 80's. The Donner Kebab a new trend on the market I spoke to a chap selling the equipment and the idea.

He had about 8 different sample of Donner on the go, all had differing tastes. He said that there were over 150 different recipes for a donner.

I'm fairly sure that most outlets would be selling C grade especially in today's financial whole. We used to have a shop in Brighton that we'd make special trips to because of the quality of its meat, but it has sadly disappeared now.

Curiously, I once tried one of those cheap and nasty microwave versions and it had a flavour reminiscent of the old style Donner, I was very surprised.

The ones in the paper bag with pitta and frozen cabbage? I remember them.
Iceland used t do a pack of kebab meat you could buy, which presumably contained mostly meat, that was okay with some chilli sauce.

My late father in law got a job driving a delivery van for a butcher's after he retired. They used to make donners in 40, 50 or 60 lb weights for local kebab shops. After being shown how they were made he wouldn't ever eat them again due to the amount of crap in them.
