Who says British food has a bad reputation?

Years ago before I came to England I always heard stories about how crummy the food was over there. From my experience in Britain it isn't quite that bad, yet there are some real shockers such as this: Kebabs made with love.

Remind me never to get a kebab made by a bloke by the name of Mr Singh in Wolverhampton, England.

Sure it wasn't one of those dodgy kebabs officer? Get the CSI team on it.

I have friends from Liverpool, and St. Helens, they've let me enjoy all sorts of cullinary delights from across the pond. I do like the cuisine quite well, especially the christmas holiday treats. And the Cadbury Crunch Bars! We used to something similar here in the states, but I've not seen them in years. It's typical here though, you get something good, and it never lasts.

But the little shop is the kind of place I try to avoid. I used to see stuff like that back when I lived in NYC almost 30 years ago. Not all the time, but every now and then one would crop up, and make the news for a few days, and the health dept. would go on a citywide inspection at random, so shops would really clean up their place and would be well again for a while.

Weinersnitzel lost me as a customer after I ate two chili cheese burgers.

Yea well same happened to me after eating at a dodgy kebab shop here. Hint: kebab meat does NOT make a good pizza topping...yea kebab pizza..."Hey Mustafa I got a good idea to use up old kebab meat".

No not good.

There is a very good Turkish place here though (Ephesus), and a good Lebanese place (Parfums de Beirut) for shwarma or falafel. Top notch.

We had a pet rat once, and one evening I shared a kebab with him (Yes, official I have no mates

) I gave him a bit of pitta bread and he scurried into his nest, eat it and came back. I gave him a bit of the salad, he scurried into his neat ate it and came back. I gave him some of the meat he scurriedinto his nest with it, then came out and chucked it out of the cage.

There did also used to be around A Donner card which said,"I would like someine to helthemselves to my kebab after my death". (We used to have a doner card for Kidneys.)
