    Ugh, even if the entire US government woke up tomorrow, apologized to all of our allies, signed peace treaties with everyone to show we were serious, AND ended all wars forever, I’d still stand by this meme.

    I did 6 months in Germany, and I had doner near fucking weekly.

    Doner boxes are fucking fantastic, and simply god tier after a few Dunkels.

        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

      Same. I haven’t been to Germany in 20 years, and I complain to my wife about craving döner at least once a week.

    Okay but seriously, where I’m from McDonald’s is 200% the cost of pretty much any local non-chain fast food establishment (Who provide food of far higher quality). I do not understand how they are even open, or why anyone eats there.

    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.

    Döner’s are tasty, local and not expensive

    Yeah, it just so happens I have been getting obsessed with it lately! They are also healthier and have more natural ingredients than McDonald’s could bother to have.

        Am from Germany. 5€ at our current favourite döner. Seitan döner with a very good vegan cocktail sauce. My other favourite right across our flat is 6,50€ - falafel döner with hummus and all kinds of other freshness. 6,50€ is rather expensive for my tastes and my wallet but pretty cheap compared to the nationwide average. 5€ is beyond cheap

          So jealous. Where I am in Germany, a standard Döner is €8-9, and a seitan one is €9-10. There’s zero reason for seitan to be more expensive, except that they know people will pay it

              Yeah, but everything’s more expensive there. I thought there were a lot of people eating non meat options in Sweden though, it’s surprising that you don’t have seitan kebabs. I always get a yufka/dürüm/wrap though and that’s more expensive.

          In Switzerland we start with 10€ … but I’ve seen up to 18€ (well, CHF but almost the same).

    I’ve always wanted to try döner, but they’re impossible to find in the US, at least outside large cities :(

      Gyros and shawarma are both types of / related to döner; you might have more luck finding one of them.

      Yeah, they are rare in the US and usually in cites only. There was a döner place not too far my from work in my old city and I haven’t found a place yet in my new location. The Greek food isn’t as good here either, so gyros haven’t been able to step in as a replacement. First world problem, but I still miss them.

      I saw a chain for a brief time called “Vertskebap” but it didn’t last long. Maybe because they were also charging $16 a pop.

    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.

      Well…slightly North Americanized. The sauce is basically just sugar with some garlic and vinegar mixed in. :P

      Both donairs and doners are tasty, though!
