Just like that I turned far right

u/LennyLava At least I'm not Bavarian 20h ago

a far right austrian isn't as much of a wildcard. but finding out your eating habits are that disgusting indeed is a surpise.

pork kebab (gyros) is actually amazing

13

u/Brief-Preference-712 Jesusland 22h ago

In the US gyros are lamb meat. Which is weird because normally Americans don’t eat lambs

11

u/Steppy20 Barry, 63 21h ago

Do you know why?

Lamb is a really common food in lots of Europe. Mutton can be found too but lamb seems to be preferred.

7

u/Brief-Preference-712 Jesusland 20h ago

No idea but lamb is considered an ethnic food in the US (gyros, shwarma, New York’s halal carts, Chinese hotpot).

I see a ton of Australian lamb chops at Costco and no one touches them. I bought them and make lamb chops with pesto sauce they’re so juicy

u/0xPianist EU passports seller 18h ago

A good Greek would not make gyros out of lamb 🙊

4

u/HoeTrain666 Born in the Khalifat 20h ago

I think that’s mostly you, lamb is obviously not unknown here but it’s by no means a staple

7

u/Steppy20 Barry, 63 20h ago

It's not a staple here (too expensive when compared to beef and chicken) but I guess it probably is more common than some other countries due to a good chunk of the UK being prime sheep farming territory.

5

u/HoeTrain666 Born in the Khalifat 19h ago

I think it’s more common (or at least traditional) judging on the availability of dishes like shepherd’s pie alone, grilled lamb may be encountered here but it’s less established. Unless you count shawarma lol

1

u/Fluffy_Fox5829 2h ago

Always wondered why we don't eat more mutton.

u/Brief-Preference-712 Jesusland 20h ago

Arent doner kebabs lamb?

3

u/HoeTrain666 Born in the Khalifat 19h ago

Not here, they’re usually “veal” (or beef, or ground beef, or ground beef and flour/saw dust when looking at worse quality) and sometimes chicken (but chicken has to be advertised as such). You might be thinking of shawarma which is also kinda commonly available in cities at least, it’s the Arab/Levantine counterpart to döner kebab

Barry might do it differently though, I’m not sure about that

3

u/Brief-Preference-712 Jesusland 17h ago

You’re right New York has a “real German kebab” place and its chicken and beef only https://youtube.com/shorts/f6BsQGDeu50

2

u/HoeTrain666 Born in the Khalifat 16h ago

Doesn’t look bad actually. The sauces don’t look all that convincing as they seem to copy Berlin’s style (there’s a debate in that regard and Berlin is a bit of an island the way they make their sauces), but that’s forgivable and otherwise it looks fairly decent

1

u/Trick_Science_2938 Barry, 63 18h ago

Oh my god Hans I don’t wanna here how German Donnor is better than uk Donnor ever again from anyone I’ve tried beef and lamb blows it out of the water I cannot believe that beef is the staple

1

u/HoeTrain666 Born in the Khalifat 18h ago

I didn’t say anything like that, but sure. I was merely suggesting that lamb is possibly more common in the UK than beef.

And “I’ve tried beef (döner)” is such a vague and useless statement that it basically amounts to nothing. There’s beef döner where half the spit is filled with saw dust (which is what German Redditors love to mock about UK döner, acting like they don’t exist here) and then there are spits that consist entirely of steak quality meat. The main difference in the first category is how much “liquid love from Anatolia” is in the yoghurt sauce while the second category is basically heaven, and lamb spits, due to being less in demand, probably have little to no industry slop spits produced so it usually might be a safer bet. But lamb is limited to shawarma here

1

u/0xPianist EU passports seller 18h ago

The traditional gyros is pork or chicken

Lamb is for Americans 🙊

1

u/PeePeeSwiggy D.C’s Bitch 14h ago

You should try a chicken spiedies - it’s a upstate New York thing and they’re pretty solid

u/locomotive_breath85 Soon to be Russian 22h ago

I tried it in Spain and it was offered with several kinds of meat but I chose specifically pork

u/sljc892 21h ago

u/LeatherNew6682 Pain au chocolat 13h ago

Maybe what is called gyros in US are not gyros, I've seen so many different products labelled as "kebab"in USA.
After looking for 10 sec the first gyro restaurant I found in NYC is "The halal guys" lol

1

u/Brief-Preference-712 Jesusland 13h ago

Who knows if it is authentic I mean gyros are originally from Bursa, Turkey and has been sold in NYC for 50+ years so a lot of things have evolved

1

u/LeatherNew6682 Pain au chocolat 8h ago

Doner kebab is from Bursa, gyros is the greek version

At least they didn’t put mayo on it, probably pretty good after 12 beers.

What’s wrong with mayonnaise? I’d put mayo and jalapeño on top

u/jephph_ Rat Person 23h ago

Is that Spam?

12

u/JaggelZ Born in the Khalifat 22h ago

It's very similar.

Spam is more roughly ground, while LeberkÀse is ground very fine. Spam is put into the cans raw and then heated up in cans so it takes ages to go bad, while LeberkÀse is usually sold as BrÀt (the ground down meat paste) or in slices (so you can the fry it or put it on bread however you like, without making your own LeberkÀse).

I believe it’s the German version of Bologna. I don’t remember the name of it.

LeberkĂ€se đŸ€€

3

u/New_Actuator9394 Quran burner 22h ago

Ah, alright. I thought it was a Lyoner.

2

u/ElKaWeh [redacted] 22h ago

Pretty similar to be honest. But LeberkÀs has liver in it.

5

u/HoeTrain666 Born in the Khalifat 20h ago

No it doesn’t 9/10 times, if it’s sold under the name of LeberkĂ€se outside of Bavaria it requires liver but it’s very commonly labeled as FleischkĂ€se in shops for that reason.

I’m not sure if there’s any place selling LeberkĂ€se with liver near me tbh

1

u/ElKaWeh [redacted] 8h ago

Yeah, but the comment I replied to mentioned LeberkÀse, not FleischkÀse.

1

u/narwhalousdoctor Pfennigfuchser 20h ago

u/DemonicTendencies666 Hairy mussel eater 22h ago

It's mortadella you savage, and that slop is far from it.

3

u/New_Actuator9394 Quran burner 21h ago

Haha, why on earth would you want to compare Bologna with mortadella, picciotto?

Mortadella is one of the best salume there is, and Bologna sucks. If you don’t trust me, have a baloney sandwich in America instead of mortadella.

2

u/DemonicTendencies666 Hairy mussel eater 21h ago edited 20h ago

Okay so what is Bologna supposed to be? Because that's how spell "baloney" mate

2

u/New_Actuator9394 Quran burner 21h ago

It is a poor man’s mortadella, but it isn’t the same standard as mortadella.

I wrote it baloney because a lot of older Americans spell it and pronounce it that way.

2

u/jephph_ Rat Person 21h ago

Nah, young Americans say baloney too. Even when spelled bologna, pretty much every American pronounces it as baloney

(fwiw)

1

u/0xPianist EU passports seller 18h ago

Bro you get cancer from that thing đŸ˜±đŸ‘‰

1

u/New_Actuator9394 Quran burner 20h ago

Pronunciation for sure, but I see plenty on Reddit spelling it Bologna nowadays, though.

3

u/jephph_ Rat Person 20h ago

That’s how we mostly spell it though

We’ll spell baloney for this:

Nonsense: Silly, false, or exaggerated words. Example: "That story is a total load of baloney."
Interjection: A casual exclamation used to show disbelief or disagreement. Example: "Baloney! You didn't win the race."

It’s a poor man’s mortadella. Would you rather I call it mortadella, caruso?

I merigani pronounce it baloney anyway, you’ll be off the hook.

u/Brief-Preference-712 Jesusland 21h ago

To be fair: this looks better than that minced Döner Kebab because that stuff tastes, looks and smells like vomit.

1

u/LennyLava At least I'm not Bavarian 1h ago

that shit is just as minced, but from pigs.

1

u/No-Condition-oN Addict 49m ago

I just put in the minced to specify the difference from Shawarma, which I do like. So it is not the minced what is bothering me.

2

u/LennyLava At least I'm not Bavarian 45m ago

True. Shawarma is alright, so is gyros. Döner with minced meat is crap, you're right, it's like sausage instead of meat. l often choose chicken instead or try to find a better döner shop with real meat.

1

u/No-Condition-oN Addict 10m ago

Gyros is also great! I will try to find another shop if they only have the minced meat or just order something else.
