Not sure I'd have it with lemon sorbet though.

It's the Germans for you. Also a side of sauerkraut, I'm fucked now.
The sauce looked very cold.
When I went to Berlin a few years back I had pork knuckle the first evening I arrived. It didn't look like that though. I think it was just boiled. The fat wasn't crisped up at all. It wasn't very good.
As if you’d be eating at the the same establishments as Kiko. Boiled knuckle is all a mortal deserves.
Boiled knuckle looks like some raw car crash but it tastes great. I was just in some touristy spot Giggles, nothing fine dining about german grub.
Where in Germany? Presumably not the south because it's not got a random serving of noodles with it. Swabians are weird.
Frankfurt but it was a Bavarian style place.
Are we talking schweinhaxen? Food of the gods.
Yep.
Poland love a good knuckle but it's hard to get the baked variety, it's almost always boiled.
Had steak fajitas for dinner. What a dish.
I had one yesterday and found it quite dry. No option to double the sauce, either.
I maybe got lucky then, plenty of sauce / miscellaneous fluid in mind.
You obviously need to get one that has been jizzed in, Spikes.
Not calling the staff a load of inbred cunts in your delivery notes is a real rookie move.
McDonald's alone is bad enough, but delivered too?
Why wouldn’t you, it costs like 70p.
Because it's still McDonald's and unless you're the first delivery it's going to be lukewarm at best.
Bottom tier food along with Greggs.
I would only order it if hungover so I’m not really arsed. The McDonald’s coke when hungover is the greatest thing on earth
Old Sprite before they took all the sugar out was king.
Are chicken burgers a relatively new thing over there or is there something else I’m missing that has so much talk about this McDonalds one? I don’t mean here but just in general - it’s just two chicken burgers in a bun isn’t it?
It's just that they've taken the 'beef' out of a Big Mac and replaced it with 'tempura' 'chicken.'
I assume they’ve already done this with “fake meat soy shit” somewhere along the way too with far less fanfare.
Nah, McDs has been pretty strong on its [terrible] veggie offering until quite recently.
They obviously have chicken burgers etc, just not a double one with the 'special sauce' etc. I've never been a fan of the original Big mac, or any of it's promotional derivatives, but thought this one might be worth a try.
Ah that’s probably it. I had forgot there was a Big Mac sauce, because I’ve never seen a chipper that doesn’t do a double chicken burger.
I think I’ve only ever had one in my life because of the L word. Bacon double cheese is the go-to for salad free goodness
Far too many people are attached to McDonald's. Remember, this is something you could have been getting from your local kebab shop for the last 30 years but because it's McDonald's and called a Big Mac then all the people with a palate of a five year old are suddenly wetting themselves over it.
What sort of mentalist would order a chicken burger in a kebab shop?
The same kind of mentalist that gets this up tight about bog-standard but cheap and conveniently available fast food.
I like the idea of being snobby about it and then recommending a kebab shop instead.
"Recommending" is doing some leg work there. I'm just baffled that people are going crazy for it when you've been able to pick up an equivalent at any non-McDonald's establishment pretty much forever. They've hardly reinvented the wheel.
Is Ian saying it was alright and me saying it was a bit dry "going crazy" or have you seen it elsewhere?
Elsewhere mainly but I couldn't resist letting you know my thoughts.
It's cool, you now have your hill to die on.
My hill is Superhero films, Jimmy's is Pigs in Blankets and Kiko's is non-white people.
What's wrong with kebab shops
Absolutely nothing.
Goose kofte and quail donner for Keeks.
Don't be ridiculous. The Turks have this nailed.
I've never had a kebab.
It shows.
They're not really a thing over here, and the two times that I have been to France my wife doesn't want to take me to eat a kebab because she doesn't like them.
Now that I think about it, there was a place in Mexico that sold "Arab tacos." They were really good and I think that they might be similar to a kebab.
Arab Taco's
I'm calling kebabs that going forward.
They were basically tacos al pastor but in a pita bread (which we call arab bread) instead of on a regular tortilla. The ones with melted cheese were so good.

Tacos arabes from Puebla? I’ve heard about these (probably Bourdain?) - they sound good.
I’ve you’ve had a shawarma or a gyro in the US you’ve essentially had a kebab.
No, in Mexico City, but I am sure that they exist in Puebla too.
I've definitely had a gyro. The arab tacos are better.
