Kebabs, as we all know, are the staple of any well balanced diet. The humble Doner Kebab, with it's hot chilli sauce beautifully offsetting the subtle flavour of the lamb. Of course, there's salad in there for the ladies too.

As i chew upon your meat
So flavoursome and juicy
The chili sauce upon my feet

i have a favorite quad shot you sent me that looks like 70s porno, man! hahahaha.

Haaa, i remember that. That seems like a lifetime ago. I've long since lost that camera. That was one of the few times i ever used that thing. It was way quirky.

i love that that menu says "thank you for your custom". heh.

I was in a kebab house down our way - deepest south eastest London - and overheard a conversation between the kebabist and a punter.

Kebabist: What would you like
Punter: Doner kebab
Kebabist: Large or small?
Punter: What's the difference?

I just saw this, it's brilliant. Damn, now I'm hungry. I like menus and also the stuff they put up on the walls, often with promiscuous use of apostrophes. I always think - if in doubt leave it out, and that way it will just die out, but it seems there is an opposite impulse at work in cafes and fruit and veg stalls. I like the photos too, they're dreamy

ha ha, I like a bit of pedantry! I had a whole bus held up in Norfolk the otherday while the driver had me up for saying I was giong to walk backwards when I meant back - admirable!
