That isn't generally what kebabs are made of in America. Here the word is more of a reference to a method of service/cooking than any specific type of meat.

Dogma is correct. In the US Kabobs are usually done via a type of barbeque (gas or coal) grilling, often with nice spices and vegetables. I have seen what you are referring though and agree-blech.

Oh, if you haven't, you must try a Bacon and Brie sandwich.
Get the Bacon (proper British style Bacon mind) nice and crispy, whilst letting the Brie come up to temprature.
Butter your (white) bread, and apply sauce to taste (Brown works best).
Then put it all together in the general sandwich method, and scoff.
I'll have to try that. It'll be difficult to get british style bacon in America though. Will Canadian Bacon do? It's like british bacon, but cut into a circle.

Bacon and brie is an awesome sandwich, hotel i used to work in it was 1 of my biggest sellers at lunchtime, didn't use to be a sandwich we called it a huffer (big white roll about 6inches across) toasting the bread before makes it even better. As to kebabs/kebobs i think it is just a general difference in spelling from different countries as i have seen it spelt cabob and kabab as well.

Another tip for the perfect Bacon Sandwich is that if you fried rather than grilled your Bacon, pop the bread slices into the pan once the bacon is cooling (you must let it cool slightly, as it continues cooking once taken from the heat) and allow to lightly fry, soaking up the tasty bacony goodness!

Brie and bacon sandwich sounds absolutely divine.
Is it possible to buy brie in *big* wedges? All I've seen in shops are those piddly little ones where you have to cut off about 20 bits to cover a piece of bread O_O

@Skarwael It certainly is you need to find either a cheesemongers or shop with a good deli counter as they cut it from a whole cheese wheel then, or failing that just buy the whole wheel!!

Also, kebab is a Turkish word, not Greek.
Over here anyway those would be called shish kebabs. Most kebab shops will sell those as well as the doner versions ( along with burgers,chips, chicken pizzas etc) but they are generally a bit more expensive ( premium product would be too much of an exaggeration  ) than the doner version which is what most people will order. Normally with salad, chillis and a sauce of your choice--garlic for me.
The doner meat is pretty much mechanically recovered and squished together....it's not so much cooked as broiled in its own fat for several hours.
Does hit the spot though.

whatwhat wrote:Most people in Britain, when they say kebab, mean doner kebab. Not the skewr thingies. Gorgron stated clearly he liked "doner kebabs" so that's what i thought we were talking about. ftr they are too completely different kettles of fish.
I was indeed talking about a doner kebab. But we don't have dodgy street kebab vendors here like you do in Europe. If what you have in the UK is mechanically recovered meat, I feel for you. My friends' restaurant uses sliced lamb -- which I believe is the proper ingredient -- and it's delicious.
Okay, a quick Wiki check revealed this:
There are two basic ways of preparing the meat for döner kebabs:
The more common and authentic method is to stack marinated slices of lean lamb meat onto a vertical skewer in the shape of an inverted cone. The meat is cooked by charcoal, wood, electric, or gas burners. The döner stack is topped with fat (mostly tail fat), that drips along the meat stack when heated. At times, tomatoes, and onions are placed at the top of the stack to also drip juices over the meat, keeping it moist. In Turkey, most restaurants prepare their döner early in the morning, and serve the last portion by the end of the afternoon.
In Western Europe, meat for döner kebab is often industrially processed from compressed ground meat containing a mixture of different meat kinds from various animals, making the specific contents less traceable. For that purpose, in Germany the amount of ground meat is not allowed to surpass 60% (Deutsches Lebensmittelbuch).[citation needed] Allegedly,[weasel words] in Germany some lesser-quality parlours serve a combination of seasoned sliced and ground meat cooked on a grilltop as döner kebab.
So once again, it just looks like your food sucks.
@reds8n: Those are properly called shish kebab here too.

It doesn't matter how nice the meat your using mate, it's the method of cooking which makes it taste rank. I've had fairly poor quality meat before, many a time, doner meat tastes far worse by my tongue, that's telling me it aint the meat that's the problem, its more the fact that its been sitting there god knows how long sweating as they slowly remove more and more meat from it. The method was created so they could have a big load of meat which would slowly cook at a rate they could take away from it, they obviously didn't consider how it would taste.
Your method where fat drips down it hardly sounds apetising to me.

There's a nice Greek place near me, me and my gf at there last night, we always get their gyros. Is that what doner kabob is? It seems like their gyro meat is kind of like a dense lamb meatloaf that they slice really thin and then grill really quick to heat it up. They don't have it on a vertical spit like that, but when I was on vacation in greece there were a lot of them. But most of the places just had slices of meat wrapped around it, not like the big meatloaf thing.

Doner kebab is actually Turkish. But given that Turkish cuisine (thanks to the Ottomans) influenced the cuisine of the entire region, gyros are in the same ballpark. The good stuff is the stacked, sliced lamb. The ground meatloaf thing doesn't sound very appealing, I have to agree.

Oh please. Like Brits have an aversion to fatty meats, lard and such. Fat is a delicious ingredient in cooking. It just isn't that healthy.
How about we bury the hatchet and just agree that Brits only shove tasteless boiled meats and potatoes between their rotting teeth, and that all Americans fuel their sweaty, morbidly obese bodies with nothing but cheap, greasy fast-food hamburgers? Deal?

I never said brits had an aversion to fatty meats, I was just comenting on what you put up as a more atractive style of making kebabs, which didn't sound it.
If you want me to talk about "American food, " I can do. I could rip the whole subject apart if you want me to.

I love food. Pretty much any kind. Except if it is raw and poisonous. But I'm a really bad cook. My parents and brothers are great, but I make eggs and I burn my hand.
So I generally stick to making food that won't lead to hurting me. Like sandwhiches and salads.
If any of you have any tips on how to keep from burning myself that I seem to not know, it would be much obliged.
