The Kebab




There is an odd craving that arises for Kebabs amongst the people here after a night at the pub. It becomes a mad dash and journey to find the kebab place that is open in the wee hours of the morning. My first night I was part of a crew to go find the elusive and much talked about kebab, but alas the places were closed. Last night though, I finally was successful in trying the much talked about kebab.

So what is a kebab? That would be a good place to start:

Its a piece of bread which looks a little like nan. Its sliced open, stuffed with shredded lettuce and some corn. After that a ridiculous amount of meat is piled on and then more lettuce and corn. TO top it off there is a white sauce poured on top with a smaller sauce on top of that. Its the sauces that give it the Kebab flavour, but not quite sure how to describe it. Besides if I did say it would ruin the elusive joy that surrounds such a treat.

For me the kebab was quite hyped, and when I tried it wasn't all that bad. I have tasted better and many people claim that we choose a bad kebab shop and so not to base it completely off this one kebab. It was also a lot of meat for a wanna be veggie head, but hey it was a kebab. Yum
