Okay but seriously, where I'm from McDonald's is 200% the cost of pretty much any local non-chain fast food establishment (Who provide food of far higher quality). I do not understand how they are even open, or why anyone eats there.
This reminded me of this Armstrong and Miller sketch (or documentary): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EoihKUbmM38
I respect any restaurant that features a spinning cone of meat.
Ugh, even if the entire US government woke up tomorrow, apologized to all of our allies, signed peace treaties with everyone to show we were serious, AND ended all wars forever, I'd still stand by this meme.
I did 6 months in Germany, and I had doner near fucking weekly.
Doner boxes are fucking fantastic, and simply god tier after a few Dunkels.
European propaganda at it's finest.
Meat on a stick > Mc "meat"
Döner's are tasty, local and not expensive
Yeah, it just so happens I have been getting obsessed with it lately! They are also healthier and have more natural ingredients than McDonald's could bother to have.
We have these in maritime Canada as well but we spell it Donair
Well...slightly North Americanized. The sauce is basically just sugar with some garlic and vinegar mixed in. :P
Both donairs and doners are tasty, though!
Its funny, in ontario we only have shawarma. Lots and lots of shawarma, but I'd never heard of doner until i went to europe.
There was a sick Donair joint in Roncevales up until a few years ago
And a Doner actually fills you up.
PLZ Freeze and ship to US, I'll pay the tariffs :)
I'm sorry but you'll have to come to Europe for the full experience
Et appeler le cuisiner "chef".
Ohh, I've been. It's been a while, like pre €. We rented a car with unlimited miles and drove from Paris to Switzerland stopping all over in between then train to UK on the way out. Worst case, need the youngest to get a few years on him before we do a grand tour.
Though, I'm seriously looking at digital nomadding in Portugal. They're set up pretty well for it.
But for the moment, that would be some REALLY expensive döner after airfare and hotel accommodations.
I was avoiding American companies fast food since the genocide in Gaza started since I didn't know which companies didn't have business with israel, I knew mcdonalds and starbucks did, so I didn't buy anything from them since then, but now I'm just avoiding them all. Since I started I've found a Brazilian fast food company that sells calzones and they're really cheap and tasty, as well as being much faster than the other fastfood places. I am now just missing a coffee shop that sells stuff like macchiato or those other drinks that starbucks sells, I love those and I cannot replicate them at home even with an espresso machine
There is a phone app called "No Thanks" which lets you search any company name to see whether they support Israel financially. It is always the big international (and usually American) companies. Rarely companies which are mostly contained within one country.
That is really nice!!! Thank you very much, I will use this so much!!
A wild Dönermann appears. He offers you:
- Balls of deep fried chickpeas flour, rich in protein
or - An ungodly blob of mouldered animal tissue, dripping with cholesterol
What is your choice?
Both, Falafel is great with lamb.
A vendor that lets their gyros moulder probably isn't making sanitary falafels either. So neither.
fml... but latter
Döner macht schöner
Ich bin doch schon schön.
Ist ja auch die Steigerung. Auch der Spitzensportler wird durch Doping besser. Also auch du als Schönheit mithilfe von Döner
I don't eat much fast food nowadays, but a good dürüm kicks a burger every time.
McDonalds is nasty. I don't touch the stuff in the US and feel it would really be a waste of what could have been a good meal in EU.
