The geezers around the corner from me here do the same thing.Originally Posted by Luca
The Turkish döner place I used to frequent when living in Milan (because it was right across the street) used to bake flatbread to order for each sandwich.
They were mental (I once witnessed them beating some drunkard who tried to rob them with a rolling pin) but they made fantastic food.
I had a lamb Adana kebab plate that was splendid.
This one nailed it:

Giggles will be SEETHING about the 5 tiny pieces of vegetables in the corner.
It's a good job I left out the salad then.
Even the rice is taking up valuable meat space, but it looks good.
Does not look like food. Avoid.
There’s a place near where I am now that says their doner is on a naan, so I’ll have to be done.
I was going to go for a pint but I’m too shook so I’ll get that instead.
Looks absolutely epic.
The lack of availability of such feasts is one of the major drawbacks of living on a backwater micro-island.
I know things have regressed, but I think you’re being a bit harsh on Great Britain there, Niko.
Me mam brought back some vegan mozzarella (Sheese I think) and it's actually delicious.
Sweet Jesus, a new place near me is doing a doner meat calzone. I’ll need to sample but levels have been reached.
That ... I can't .... it's too much grease, surely?
I'm assuming the tomato sauce makes way for chilli sauce?
I agree that the grease potential is a worry, but the potential pay off if it works is enough to grant the benefit of the doubt.
Those are a staple of the filthy kebab shop up here. They are incredibly greasy, but that's exactly what you're after in the places that do them. The place near me does a mixed kebab calzone that will wipe ten years off your life but is worth every second of it.
John, can you confirm if the tomato sauce is replaced with Chilli sauce? If not, why not? And what steps can we put in place to correct this obvious error?
I don't think I've ever had a really good calzone. I can see the logic behind getting one from a takeaway, but whenever I've seen them on restaurant menus I wonder who orders them.
I usually call ahead so I've only seen mine being made once, and they used both. Tomato beneath the meat, chilli on top of it.
This is acceptable. I might need you to post me one.
I’ll have to sample one next week. The Mrs got one last night that had cheesy taco mince inside and it was really nice. I had a kebab tray ordered before I noticed the doner version.
I also had extremely spicy wings. I’d never order the stupid things but they threw them in for free. A twitching arsehole is not the way to start a week.
Had my first ever McDonald’s breakfast roll this morning.
1. They’re surprisingly nice.
2. That’s a bap, not a roll.
3. Should have got a double sausage McMuffin.
4. Their coffee isn’t nice at all any more and it’s still way too hot.

Yeah I wouldn't go out of my way for a McDonald's breakfast but if you need a bit of greasy stodge in your life and it's the most convenient thing they're fine.
Breakfast Wrap is the only edible thing on the breakfast menu
I'm a twit
If it's a McDonald's breakfast you need - and sometimes it is - there's no point in getting anything but the double sausage McMuffin, ideally with an extra hash brown.
This is the truth.
I also forgot about my hash brown this morning and found it this evening and I throwing out the bag. 2 mins in the toaster and it was job oxo.
McDonald's are introducing Chicken McMuffins here. Thoughts? Reactions?
No thanks.
Jimmy's order is the correct one.
The Egg is good. You can't skip the egg.
You get one in the sausage mcmuffin. [/probably missing the point]
Ah I thought you had to specify.
The egg on a McMuffin is an offence to chickens. It’s like the rubbery stuff you seal a bath with.
I'm a twit
It tastes like foamy farts.

Went there tonight.
Burnt ends, beef rib, pulled pork, jalapeno sausage and ribs. Also came with fries, coleslaw and I asked for some short rib pit beans.
Also tried some of their brioche pudding and cheesecake spring rolls.
So fucking good.
Beef ribs are Godly.
Burnt ends are the tits.
Best part tbh.
Burnt ends.
I like that sort of thing, but if YouTube food videos are anything to go by then barbecue people are the biggest wankers on the planet. I would rather be stuck on a quarantined cruise with a thousand real ale drinkers than with even one of those tossers who queue for three hours for the best brisket in Bumfuck Texas.
Pepe knows.Burnt ends.
Looks like an artist's impression of... actually, I'll leave that thought at the door.
I mean, yes, but all “[insert food here] people” are generally insufferable. Vegans probably take the cake for me.
I see eyebrows, a red nose and big beefy cheeks.
Bernard Ingham.
Don’t you normally rock up with “this is better” for 99% of what people mention about food?
There was a place in St. Louis that had good ribs and I did make the ~40 minute queue a few times.
I queued at Franklin a couple of times in Austin but then realised that it wasn’t that far better to warrant going to over somewhere you could just go in and order.
Yes. On an Internet messageboard. I'm not refusing to go meet mates at a bar because they don't serve *insert thing here* or refusing a cheeky double sausage McMuffin because it isn't pasture-raised Berkshire pork.
EDIT: You're still wrong about pizza you cunt.

Hometown BBQ 🤤
The Italian shit shouldn’t be allowed to be called pizza. A big dry floury base, barely covered, and a handful of greenery chucked at it from afar.
The US is the home of pizza.
Tbf to Giggles, the best pizza I've had was in America.
Although I have had good pizza in Italy too.
I'm with Giggles. It's basically a bit of shit bread, so it stands to reason that it serves a better purpose acting as a platform for fat and salt than a few specs of wank. If somebody gave you an empty pie and tried to sell you on the pastry you would put them through the wall, and this is no different.
