döner kebap, how I love thee

Ah, the classic evening meal of cheapskates in Berlin:
It’s a döner im Brot. It’s kind of a variation on a gyro – mystery meat shaved off a rotating hunk o’ broily goodness, stuffed in bread with sauce, slaw, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and deliciousness. So much deliciousness. And if there’s not enough carbohydrates in the bread, you can add fries and a soda. Incidentally, Coke tastes so much better here, because it’s sweetened with sugar instead of corn syrup. Mmmm. Suuugarrrrr.
Anyway, this is actually the first döner I’ve had on this trip…and you can probably tell it’s in a mall food court. You’re supposed to buy them from sketchy stands. I’ll do better next time. I was in the mall! It was almost 7:00! I was hungry! I’m sorry! It won’t happen again!
Doner kebab is awesome! It contains about twice the RDA of everything that’s really bad for you. Mmmmm….
And tomatoes! Tomatoes have vitamins, right?
I. Love. Doner Kebab! It is the very best thing in the world. I don’t even think it seems all that unhealthy. There’s all those vegetables in there.
I SO wish we had that here. If you can buy Ferrero Rocher at the gas station now, why can’t we have doner kebab?
Last week, I tried to order one of these at Levante’s in Dupont Circle but they were out. It is Turkish Week here and Doner Kebab was the special entree. The substitute — the Adama? sandwich — was delicious! I’m looking forward to trying the best of these meat and carb units.
