This reminded me of this Armstrong and Miller sketch (or documentary): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EoihKUbmM38

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.

I respect any restaurant that features a spinning cone of meat.

European propaganda at it's finest.

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.

Meat on a stick > Mc "meat"

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

[–] Bryter 1 points 31 minutes ago

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!

Its funny, in ontario we only have shawarma. Lots and lots of shawarma, but I'd never heard of doner until i went to europe.

[–] SplashJackson 1 points 1 hour ago

There was a sick Donair joint in Roncevales up until a few years ago

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] 4 points 5 hours 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 6 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 2 hours ago

Both, Falafel is great with lamb.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

fml... but latter

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 32 points 23 hours ago (16 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 46 minutes ago

What do you mean, it says it clearly on the receipt!

Wait...

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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

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

I've scoured the entire city for a good doner kebab, I cant forget how good it tastes. I cant wait to go back to germany haha

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 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] 12 points 20 hours ago

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