We have these in maritime Canada as well but we spell it Donair

And a Doner actually fills you up.

I was avoiding American companies fast food since the genocide in Gaza started since I didn't know which companies didn't have business with israel, I knew mcdonalds and starbucks did, so I didn't buy anything from them since then, but now I'm just avoiding them all. Since I started I've found a Brazilian fast food company that sells calzones and they're really cheap and tasty, as well as being much faster than the other fastfood places. I am now just missing a coffee shop that sells stuff like macchiato or those other drinks that starbucks sells, I love those and I cannot replicate them at home even with an espresso machine

There is a phone app called "No Thanks" which lets you search any company name to see whether they support Israel financially. It is always the big international (and usually American) companies. Rarely companies which are mostly contained within one country.

PLZ Freeze and ship to US, I'll pay the tariffs :)

I'm sorry but you'll have to come to Europe for the full experience

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Ohh, I've been. It's been a while, like pre €. We rented a car with unlimited miles and drove from Paris to Switzerland stopping all over in between then train to UK on the way out. Worst case, need the youngest to get a few years on him before we do a grand tour.

Though, I'm seriously looking at digital nomadding in Portugal. They're set up pretty well for it.

But for the moment, that would be some REALLY expensive döner after airfare and hotel accommodations.

Ich bin doch schon schön.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Ist ja auch die Steigerung. Auch der Spitzensportler wird durch Doping besser. Also auch du als Schönheit mithilfe von Döner

A wild Dönermann appears. He offers you:

  • Balls of deep fried chickpeas flour, rich in protein
    or
  • An ungodly blob of mouldered animal tissue, dripping with cholesterol

What is your choice?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

A vendor that lets their gyros moulder probably isn't making sanitary falafels either. So neither.

fml... but latter

I don't eat much fast food nowadays, but a good dürüm kicks a burger every time.

And sometimes they even tell you what species it came from.

It's chiken, I've worked at shawarma stand for a month in the summer, you can trust my expertise.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Even when you choose the beef one?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

We just said that beef is still cooking, we can make a chicken one in the meantime. 🙃

I'm going to let the consumer protection agency know that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

They're actually a bunch of chickens in a human suit too

Man, I miss doner every day, I wanna bring a doner restaurant from germany to my country rn

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I thought you get them in pretty much every corner of the world these days.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

For real, my city is a massive untapped market. There is quite a bit of kebab but none are actually good, and absolutely 0 doner kebab

[–] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago

I had a döner once 25 years ago and I still remember how good it was.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 18 hours ago (5 children)

I like Kebabs. Only thing i worry is about the hygiene standards in these shops. I saw a test and 4 out of 10 failed basic standard.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

That's just surprise seasoning

[–] [email protected] 16 points 18 hours ago

Just need to pick the 6 good ones!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago

Great news! I think Dodge just fired all the health inspectors as costly dead weight, so all restaurants now have a perfect 10/10!

I had a beer at a posh downtown bar a few months back while waiting for someone. You have no idea how many mice I saw zigzagging across the floor, but I think you're getting an idea.
