What's the best convenience food you ever had?
I met Ze German in a kebab shop for lunch and we had kebabs - it was superb so I emailed her this after I got back to the office:

"that truly was superb - up there with the best kebabs I have ever had
i just want to go home and talk about it to someone "

She called me a nerd but that's ok - I am a kebab connoisseur, a kebaboisseur if you will. Every country in the world has their own version of kebabs and wherever I am, I insist on finding the best kebab house in town.

I love kebabs.

ps, it's not fat. It's a surplus of awesome.

I couldn't love a woman who didn't like kebabs.

I got two books of vouchers from my local subway, YAY !
I'm going to write them another letter with a photo showing my gratittude of thanks.

I might even photograph myself using each and every voucher and enjoying the sandwich.

Bacon grills

Just up the road from me in Dalston is the mythical Mangal
They are reputed to be the finest in London, and having tried a few it's definitely a contender. Some advocate the Lebanese places at the bottom of the Edgware Road but I say to those people 'pshaw, piffle, poppycock and balderdash'.

Were it still, I'd give that a whirl. Bit of a hike from my house, but you never know - duly noted just in case.

I've never had a kebab
Long ago I used to eat Wendy's 3/4 pounders. Awsome extra bacon and cheese. A coronary with every bite.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Thu 4 Feb 2010, 16:18, Reply)

I've never eaten a kebab either
but if you're ever on the west coast of the US, seek out a Jack in the Box and have a cheeseburger.

Pure heart attack material, but absolutely delicious. More saturated fat than a lard factory.

Jack in the Box
is all of the win! And they do awesome breakfast food. I love, love, love their #7 - two beef patties, cheese and bacon!
( Batshitmentalist is sane for once, Thu 4 Feb 2010, 16:31, Reply)

Crack in the Box!
I prefer the East Coast 'Whitecastle'. Little tiny fatty burgers that scare the daylights out of a potential hangover and only taste good after midnight.
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Thu 4 Feb 2010, 16:32, Reply)

Never had one of those
But I have had a Phillie Cheese Steak, which is a similar kind of protein and fat combo to the JitB burger, only bigger.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 4 Feb 2010, 16:38, Reply)

You can get frozen Whitecastles in the freezer section of the grocery store,
but they no longer have the chain on the west coast. Oh, but the very best burger place here is In N Out - it's what a hamburger's all about!

Slipping into smug mode here
but the best keebabs i've ever had, were made by my own fair hand. Chicken and lamb, marinaded for 3 days in my own tasty marinade, although I think it was the roasted/caramalised onions, peppers and mushrooms what did it. Topped with lashings of homemade tzatziki and salsa I was oscillating with delight as I finished because I could see a mound of bbq'd flesh still waiting to be feasted upon. Bring on the summer, so I can roll myself out the back garden and bar-b-cancer myself into wobbler heaven.

You definitely seem to be in a take away food hotspot Monty, what with those hash munchies i'm surprised you're not morbidly obese.

yeah I chop up and marinade leftover sunday roast in garlic, chillis, onion and tomatoes for a day
or so then serve in a wrap with greek yoghurt and ketchup - is very nice!

It's foodie heaven in my neighbourhood...
Every Saturday, if I can drag myself 50 yards up the street, there's a farmers' market with African Stews, hog roasts, whole spitroasted organic chickens etc, as well as dozens of gourmet deli stalls - all right next to that Belgian beer specialist pub.

A little further up the street is a gorgeous Victorian park with a large pub in the middle, with open decking all around it, overlooking the greenery. It's fucking great.

I forgot to mention the 100-year old pie and mash shop that's opposite the pub.

I forgot, because it's so fucking shit. It looks amazing but the pies are, quite literally I suspect, bollocks.

Excellent foresight there my good man.
And that truly is a LOT of black man to be vomiting all over the place. I assume he made a good job of covering all surfaces? I hope your cat escaped the fountain of effluence.
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Thu 4 Feb 2010, 17:39, Reply)

That was a fucking HILARIOUS night
He actually got stuck in my lavatory (it's like a cubicle) because he was so pissed and so enormously tall he couldn't turn round to get out, so he spewed all over himself and the wall and was there, trapped and eventually unconscious.

We had been to see a band of squatters from Bristol that evening, whose singer was a dwarf in a top hat.

Magic.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 4 Feb 2010, 17:41, Reply)

Top larks
Lucky he trapped himself in an easy to clean cupboard, also lucky you didn't need to release any dirty spine.

So just to recap, you went to see a band of squatters, with a midget in, accompanied by a 6'8" Swiss negro? If that night didn't end with someone vomitting themselves unconscious, then I would have been disappointed.
