Frozen donner kebab
Anyone like them? I tried the one from Iceland today and thought it was alright for the £2
Not as good as one from a takeaway but perfectly edible. I also liked the chilli sauce |

I don't get it. Why would you buy a donner kebab with lettuce,onions and tomato in it to put in the microwave? Unless you take it to bits you end up with a cooked salad.

Sounds vile. If i'm going to eat vile, it has to be from the authentic kebab house surely, and be pissed.

There is a place near us that supplies trade with with the whole donar and they are open to public. They cook and freeze donar meat, ready for you to reheat at home. I think it costs something like £20 for 5kg and that would enough for around 10 pretty big kebabs or 20 regular sized ones.
Best way to reheat is in the oven wrapped in tin foil parcel with a bit of water. Give it around 10 minutes from frozen at around 180C, enough time for the lard to melt. |

Sounds vile. A donner rarely appeals to me at the best of times, never mind a frozen one! Boke!

It doesn't sound cheap enough to tempt me! A small doner round my way is £3.50 so i think i'd rather stick with that. The frozen one seems like it might be too rubbery as it's not being 'glazed' on the rotating skewer.
Did you notice the percentage of meat? |

I said wouldn't it be pretty disgusting having microwaved salad and he said he never thought of that ![]()

I used to work with a lad and one day he came in raving about his local takeaway sold frozen kebabs that you could have at home and you just microwaved it.

In the cafe in the building my office is in, the lady puts lettuce in the paninis and then puts them on the press thing.

Just had a look at my local kebab place's menu and the difference in price isn't enough for me either. Large donner in pitta costs £3.20 and the magnificent donner in naan bread costs £3.80. And let me tell you, it's bloody big. £2 for a small frozen kebab that I have to do myself, not for me thanks. |

Yeah, my local kebab shop is rubbish so I've tried a few different versions of these from different supermarkets. All have tended to go unpleasantly slimy once microwaved.
Some years ago one of the supermarkets used to sell packets of just the meat which made it easy to DIY |

I agree. There's one takeaway in town that makes fresh naan breads in a tandor and they're about the size of a 12" pizza. They only cost £1 to buy seperatly aswell.
Our ones do a kebab roll for £2 which is 2 skewers of spiced minced lamb or chicken in naan bread. |

I've got quite a few of those takeaways near me where you see the curries already prepared behind the glass window. I like being able to see them and make a choice based on what takes my fancy, rather than order blind from a menu. So much better value than the traditional Indian takeaways too.

Did you notice the percentage of meat? BTW, that 'glaze' is fat you realise |

Don't know but its exactly the same product you get from the kebab shop. In fact they have a kebab shop next door and I am guessing thats where is made.
BTW, that 'glaze' is fat you realise Thanks for spoiling the 'glaze' illusion

A friend of mine has worked in several Turkish kebab shops. The majority of places use frozen meat.
