Really? Misinterpreted the OP, my bad, well in that case, thanks to him for inventing it.

Next time I'm catering for just me I may well just go and get one as a thank you to Kadir, Rest In Peace, and not in some reformed shape.

I much prefer a shish to a doner. The doner is just another form of mystery meat and I reckon id have to be pretty desperate to go for one of those over the other choices on offer. Kebab shops are everywhere over here. I suppose it's a symptom of our drinking culture.

We have had quite some food scandals that involved Döner meat factories. Beside that, the taste also does not really impress me. Not shabby, but also nothing I miss if I do not have it.

I prefer mixed Wok-food, for which I do not need any more than Ketjap Manis or Ketjap Asin, Sherry, dark Chinese soy sauce, sugar, pepper, salt, chicken soup, and some herbs and rarely used ingredients at times. Pasta. Selfmade pizza. Some Italian recipes from the book, some Chinese. And occasionally a steak. Oooh, and Gulasch, sometimes. There are maybe two dozen recipes that I really can do very well. And I fall back to just these few time and again. Neither any need to experiment, nor interest - I am no cook. I just master these few recipes, and that's it. But these recipes I really do better than anyone I know. I admit, on some of the things I cook I'm proud.

ME cousine is not my taste. It's nothing against Islam or Arabia or such, as some maybe assume now. I just do not like it by taste, and I mean taste alone.

Good choices...I must admit to eating very few kebabs and even then, only after a drink or three
