Is that kebab or shoarma you're eating?

I can see some resemblance, true. What's that Half-Life dude's name again, anyway? I forget.

Kebabs rule. There's one place here in Warsaw, they serve the best goddamn kebabs this side of Europe, I've checked.

Moby Dick House of Kebabs best Kebabs East of the Mississippi. The Iranians who own the place are good people, great to talk to while they cook your food. Not to mention they make real pita bread by slapping it on the side of a ceramic oven, fresh to order.

What's a kebab in Europe? I only know shish kabobs here... where you have a stick, and on that stick it meat, veggie, meat, veggie, meat, veggie... in a nice skewered line.

It's a pitta.

You have - as far as I know - pitta with kebab and pitta shoarma.
Kebab is like a sort of meatloaf that gets cut into quite fine slices. It's served in a pitta bread with some lettuce, tomato, some other veggies and a sause (like garlic sause). I don't like kebab very much, because it's not very obvious what it is you're eating (plus: it usually stinks, it really does, it has this really badass smell).

I like pitta shoarma a lot better. This meat gets cut into small pieces, but it's still recognizable as veal. Same method: pitta bread, some veggies and sause (usually garlic sause).

In Gent, where I live, these things are more widely available than french fries. More popular amongst the youngsters as well, methinks. Dead cheap, but very.... poisonous, to say the least.

Around here, we call that an Iguana-On-A-Stick!


EDIT: Before the smartasses start to kick in: yes, you also have pitta with chicken and vegetarian pitta and pitta with french fries stuffed in them and so on... they're not real pitta, though, imo.

I have to find that around here... or start ordering it.. and make it widely available. That sounds damn good.

That's not Iguana-On-A-Stick. The real one is at Iguana Bob in the Hub Downtown. Delicious.

In the US, a kebab would be...a Gyro?

Why indeed! I thought a gyro was a sandwich that was more or less wrapped in a breading type thing, not wrapped in a pita.

I found this resteraunt near Lake Forest, best Gyros imagineable, and good Greek food otherwise. I generally love Greek food.
