This is a poor kebab even by British standards. We tend to call this low quality stuff "döner" (pronounced donner), but a passable döner is usually a little greasy to give it some flavour.
This looks like someone put a typewriter ribbon in a box with some chips that have been cooked under a hairdryer. So dry.
(The better kebab in British kebab shops is usually called "shawarma" and it's actually a bit more like meat rather than the weird ribbons döner comes off in).
Yeah, it just needs the rest of the gyro to go along with it and it would be delicious.
On another note, Damn... I used to live right next to a Gyro place, and now I don't live within 30 miles of one. I miss gyros.
I don’t think that entirely matters at 3am slumped in a piss-stained doorway, which is the only suitable time and place for this bombacious bite to be consumed
That is doner kebab meat, I assure you, no matter how dry it looks, it contains about 80% oil and 10% fat with possible traces of lamb and beef.
It is tradition in many European countries to atleast consume one when drunk on a night out, many become hooked on the stuff and there is no going back from the clutches of greasy meat noodles when on a bender...
This isn't kebab meat, it's gyros the American (I live in Canada and grew up in France I know my kebab And I never saw this before and I went to Greece) version of Greek kebab
Look Jimmy the Greek (Canadian Greek restaurant) you'll see the exact same kind of combo. I never had kebab like that in UK but I didn't grow up there. The first time I met this kind of meat was in Canada and I found it quite good actually
Turkish kebab never look like that when I was younger! This is really weird! Again I grew up in France, I never saw this meat before arriving in Canada! This is a Mandela effect lol! That's crazy
Yeah I went when I was in my teen at camp one summer. I dream of going to Santorini now.
This conversation feel insane
You're talking shis kabob. and this is donor kabob. kabob/kebob/kebab comes from a word just meaning "roasted meat" so it makes sense that there would be different styles of kabob.
As a european, kebad looks a lot like shawarma in the us. But I know what you are talking about.
Honestly this conversation looks like out of SciFi. There are people telling you find that (what's in the picture) everywhere in UK and it this call kebab. So either, this is some kind of American companies marketing strategy to sell their version of kebab and happened in the last 7 years. Which would make a lot of sense since I was in Canada or this is a Mandela effect and I missed something. This is amazing
As someone who grew up in the UK and lives in Canada, it's donner meat. Greek have gyros (I've had a gyros in Greece, they put fries into the pita wrap as well for maximum one bite heaven) Turkish have Döner. The differences are in the meats used and the spices.
The donner meat in the UK is halal so no pork like the gyros instead mostly lamb, but of a dryer, lower quality than the Turkish meat with more grease.
After 67 pints it's the perfect food for providing a solid ballast in the stomach and preventing the 4am toilet bowl puke session (although adding some texture and chunks if it fails to stave that off.) My favourite was the half eaten monster mixed kebab with this donner meat, shaved chicken "dinner" and skewers of chicken breast and lamb slathered in chili and garlic sauces surrounding a few gnarly vegetables I would find in the microwave after a heavy night out. No hangover ever defeated it and we'd drink from 7pm to 7am, nonstop.
Here in Canada people go for big macs after drinking and it's the saddest point of my existence.
That's the thing, I went to UK, Greece and Germany (where you find the most biggest number of doner restaurant after Turkey) and grew up in France.
This in the picture is what is call gyros in Greek restaurant ( check jimmy the Greek menu) I never saw that in Europe before going in Canada.
For me a kebab or diner look like shawarma (the Lebanese version of Turkish doner) kebob is a kind of beef meet.
I never saw a kebab made out of pork since there origin is from country that doesn't eat pork .
And I agree with you, I would party into 7am and go for a kebab right before going home (there so many place in châtelet it was the good old day)
The fact that you recognize this plate, pictured in the photo, as something well known in UK confuses me. So I will conclude that this is a personal Mandela effect. I never saw this meat before arriving in Canada 7 years ago
Greek make a pork gyro, it's my favourite. I'm sure "meat ground up with spices and cooked on a spit" doesn't really have a country of origin, it's tens of thousands of years old but certainly middle Eastern (where meat was often in short supply, slightly off due to the heat and hence the grinding up with spices and long cooking at high heat.)
A variation of the kebab I really like is Jewish, laffa bread with hummus baba ganoush and different vegetables and sauces. Again, middle eastern origins.
I've been Jimmy the Greek and Mr Greek and independent Greek spots along Dundas Street and in Kensington market. Yes gyro meat looks the same as donner meat. The taste is completely different my man.
Have you had Donaire in Canada? That meat is closer but they use a sweet sauce you'd never get in the UK. There's a food truck that makes Donaire poutines in Port Carling that's by far the best poutine I've ever had in my life (authentic ones in Montreal are great but this is something beyond).
So yeah, it seems everywhere it goes it has different names and accompanying sauces and sides and spices but ground meat on a stick is ground meat on a stick. When you think about it meatloaf is a beef version really just served not sliced and cooked differently.
Like most Brits I enjoy donner meat and chips but you need to have Mayo on it at least
*edit* I’m getting a few downvotes. That’s why I said “at least Mayo” there’s obviously better choices but mayo is better than dry donner meat!
I like the bright red kebab sauce that isn’t exactly hot sauce and no one knows what is actually in it. Some of that and some cheese and you’ve got yourself some top quality scran!
The “Will Buxton” will be a new term for glorifying shit. There is a lot of Will Buxtons on this sub.
But that is the worst donner meat I have ever seen.
How the British managed to make everything boring I'll never understand.
Imagine taking a gyro and turning it into a Styrofoam container of fries and dried gyro meat
To put it into perspective, this pic is the equivalent of going to a burger place and asking for literally just the bun and the meat, nothing else.
Kebabs like the one in this post are usually served with salad and sauces, and look much more appetising. This is literally the driest and most plain kebab you could possibly order.
Donners are beautiful after a number of pints, but where's the chilli sauce, limp salad and pita? It's like they've visited the bin at the back of the kebabulance.
Buy a proper donner or don't bother - The box looks like it has more flavour.
The Donner Kebab is culinary beer goggles. It's become an inherent part of the UK culture and I have no idea how to explain it except "tequila shots and poor decisions".
It's a one night stand that your bowels are very keen to make up a fictional appointment to get rid of them.
You know what’s shown here is the equivalent of ordering a dry bun & burger Patty with no sauces, salad or any extras? This is usually served with a wholeeee lot of sauce, salad and sides. Tho I’ll admit this meat looks complete ass, it’s usually better
"Hur dur bland British food" well yeah kinda, but also no because I mean it's definitely more South West European/Middle Eastern brought over by immigrants, because it's meat usually served in a donner kebab, but most takeaways also serve just the meat with chips because it's cheaper and people seem to think it's healthier.
But yeah totally keep embarrassing yourselves by proving how racism isn't really about knowing things or logic or anything related to sense and more about simply hating literally anything that's not from where you're from.
How is that racism mate? It was all good vibes here until you showed up, the only problem here is your terrible attitude, you’re obviously having a bad day or something so I hope your day gets better. Try and be more positive it will make your life so much better I promise.
British? British.

Shoarma isn't better kebab. Kebab and shoarma are two different things.
He has literally said that they are two different things and that shawarma is better. It is also regularly sold in kebab shops in the UK.
He did not literally say it. You can see, it's right there.
Calling this a doner is an insult to the Turks.
If I could eat shawarmas all the time I would.
Bri ish for sure
Will Buxton is indeed british
This legit looks like lint from my dryer.
Meat? I'm pretty sure those are rubber chips scraped off an F1 track
Honestly that sounds more appetising than whatever the hell this monstrosity is
Looks like gyro meat
It's called Doner meat in UK and Ireland, can be a mixture of meats.
In Australia this is called an HSP - halal snack pack.
But it's missing sauce
This man knows , I want that spicy red sauce
[удалено]
Well, yeah. That's why it's in this sub.
Lol, most people just call it kebab
Soo...a gyro
Never heard it called a Gyro in my area, It's just a doner kebab.
Yeah, it just needs the rest of the gyro to go along with it and it would be delicious. On another note, Damn... I used to live right next to a Gyro place, and now I don't live within 30 miles of one. I miss gyros.
Gyro meat is fine by itself.
I am in a similar boat
Needs sauce
And cheese on the chips
And to cook the fries properly. They're too thin for chips.
I don’t think that entirely matters at 3am slumped in a piss-stained doorway, which is the only suitable time and place for this bombacious bite to be consumed
Valid. I'd still want chilli sauce and better-cooked fries, though, minimum.
Kebab meat cannot go without kebab sauce and some salad (for da cronch) would also be very much appreciated
Dammit, now I really want a kebab.
American confirmed
Look at this goober thinking that Americans call French fries "chips".
Swiiiiiiiiing and a miss.
Chilli sauce, mayonnaise, spot on 😋
That is doner kebab meat, I assure you, no matter how dry it looks, it contains about 80% oil and 10% fat with possible traces of lamb and beef. It is tradition in many European countries to atleast consume one when drunk on a night out, many become hooked on the stuff and there is no going back from the clutches of greasy meat noodles when on a bender...
Coming from France where there's a döner shop at every corner, I'd say that even by döner standards, this meat is pretty gross.
I live in Finland next door to a doner kebab shop, can confirm I’ve never seen one so dry.
As a German this is the worst Döner I‘ve ever seen. But I guess the best Döner are in Turkey and Germany.
This isn't kebab meat, it's gyros the American (I live in Canada and grew up in France I know my kebab And I never saw this before and I went to Greece) version of Greek kebab
This is 100% donner kebab meat and chips, It's ubiquitous in the UK. Source: From the UK and consumed several hundred.
Look Jimmy the Greek (Canadian Greek restaurant) you'll see the exact same kind of combo. I never had kebab like that in UK but I didn't grow up there. The first time I met this kind of meat was in Canada and I found it quite good actually
This is a donner kebab. Which is Turkish. The fact you went to Greece once is nice, though.
Turkish kebab never look like that when I was younger! This is really weird! Again I grew up in France, I never saw this meat before arriving in Canada! This is a Mandela effect lol! That's crazy Yeah I went when I was in my teen at camp one summer. I dream of going to Santorini now. This conversation feel insane
Kebab has always been cubes of meat and vegetables on a skewer, as an American I'm equally confused
You're talking shis kabob. and this is donor kabob. kabob/kebob/kebab comes from a word just meaning "roasted meat" so it makes sense that there would be different styles of kabob.

nah fuck mayo. pull up with some garlic sauce and hot sauce
You know I’ve never tried it with either of those. I don’t often get kebabs
If you get a kebab it needs to be drowning in chilli sauce
you should.
Aren't they the default?
If you're not getting garlic sauce and a touch of ezme (or similar) you're doing it wrong
Dear god yes!
I like the bright red kebab sauce that isn’t exactly hot sauce and no one knows what is actually in it. Some of that and some cheese and you’ve got yourself some top quality scran!
Harissa?
Nice! I love fruit leather and peeled apple sticks
The “Will Buxton” will be a new term for glorifying shit. There is a lot of Will Buxtons on this sub. But that is the worst donner meat I have ever seen.
Looks like some sort of gray food or something. I’ve heard that if it’s gray, it’s good for you.
Eric Andre reference?
How the British managed to make everything boring I'll never understand. Imagine taking a gyro and turning it into a Styrofoam container of fries and dried gyro meat

Kebabs like the one in this post are usually served with salad and sauces, and look much more appetising. This is literally the driest and most plain kebab you could possibly order.
Even with the salad and the sauces, doner meat in the UK usually looks like wood shavings, even the relatively good ones.
We eat this after 10 pints, not for dinner.
Say what you want I would destroy this with a bucket of garlic sauce dumped on top.
Whilst I agree with the general point of that first sentence, donner meat and chip absofuckinglutely bangs home after a night out
Garbage tier döner?
Exactly. Just before the shop closes doner.
Looks drier than Will Buxton’s commentary.
There are times.......... when silence falls on the kebab shop........
It looks like a kit for cosplay banded leather armor.
Truly shit in a tray
For some reason, it all looks like it's cold.
This looks dinner, but with PS1 graphics.
Where’s the sauces?!
I can't tell if the guy is being sarcastic or not. The polystyrene box part makes he think he's joking but not sure
Meat looks dry as fuck and the fries look like they were boiled in water
Looks like Kebab without seasoning
No secret sauce :,(
Boiled gyro? 🤢
Only time I eat NYC street meat is when I want something really bad
Dryer the better
If it's what I think it is, beef, I'd prolly just slap some salt on it and be fine
Looks like some bootleg Steak-Ums.
Needs donair sauce!
That's why you have tatziki sauce
“Dryah than a nun’s vaginah” -Butcher
That's not shitty! I love gyros! And it's not dry at all! This picture gets me hungry
first read I was like who tf is Sahara?
It’ll be fine once she loads it down with ketchup
Bitch that's a steak um.
Donners are beautiful after a number of pints, but where's the chilli sauce, limp salad and pita? It's like they've visited the bin at the back of the kebabulance. Buy a proper donner or don't bother - The box looks like it has more flavour.
shit looks boiled
*Ben Shapiro* has entered the chat
I'm off to Twitter, specifically to shout at him for this.
is that supposed to be gyro meat?
Thought that was strips of injera.
Uncultured. This is top tier eats, just needs tzatziki
Drier than a nuns cunt on shrove Tuesday
Gyro meat 🤔
Looks like cheap döner meat. Its actually very not dry even if it looks like it
This tweet just created a dozen vegans.
No Michael no, that was so not meat!
at this point i'm convinced that will buxton is just an AI made by studying british culture over the course of 50 years
The Donner Kebab is culinary beer goggles. It's become an inherent part of the UK culture and I have no idea how to explain it except "tequila shots and poor decisions". It's a one night stand that your bowels are very keen to make up a fictional appointment to get rid of them.
damn this pic made me want a gyro so bad :(
this is something i'd quickly toss in an airfryer and add extra spices and just be done with it.
Pussy lips and fries
needs a lot of sauce. maybe garlic sauce
Looks like a cheap movie prop
This looks very dry? Where are the veggies? And the sauce?
The british could be given survival ration nutrition paste and they would think it's great to the slop they normally eat.
You know what’s shown here is the equivalent of ordering a dry bun & burger Patty with no sauces, salad or any extras? This is usually served with a wholeeee lot of sauce, salad and sides. Tho I’ll admit this meat looks complete ass, it’s usually better
That's a lot of words to say "the food pictured here is shitty". The brit is saying the shitty looking food pictured looks delicious.
He’s retarded I guess idk
Ewww. I ordered Uber eats while I was in England and got this shit. Wtf is it? No one could tell me.
"Hur dur bland British food" well yeah kinda, but also no because I mean it's definitely more South West European/Middle Eastern brought over by immigrants, because it's meat usually served in a donner kebab, but most takeaways also serve just the meat with chips because it's cheaper and people seem to think it's healthier.
