The guy who invented the Kebab has died. It's a sad day for me. LINKY

and me mate

I remember my first time seeing a doner kebab....London 1980 and I thought it looked disgusting (I was young and innocent then), anyway slide forwards about 6 years and the 1st kebab shop opened in Gourock, and I still thought they were disgusting until one night about 3 yrs after it opened. I had rolled out the pub at late oclock and missed the chinese. The only shop open was this kebab shop. In I stagger asking if they did any 'real' food. The guy offered me a piece of doner meat to try...Well beat me with a big stick, it was the best friggin thing I had tasted in my drunk life. I'm still miffed that I had denied myself this treat for 9 years

I'm truly sorry for your loss Dirty!

That was my intro to them as well.... Chickrn sheish is better tho...

When I was younger the Kebab van was like a magnet when I stumbled out of the pub. Never ate one sober until a Kebab shop opened where I was living (about ten years ago) and the fish n chip shop closed so the only takeaway was kebab. It was a little village.

I can remember our first local Chinese takaway, about 1974 , we couldn"t eat the stuff , thot it stank too, it was double the price of chippy too,

never mind Newman, I'm sure he'll taste good in his last Kebab

Being only 37, my first taste of a kebab was in 92. Not after a drunken night out but during dinner break at school I tried some kebab meat on a portion of chips! It would then be a daily dinner - sometimes even as a full kebab when I was feeling more flush on a Monday after getting paid for my paper round! Only after I turned 18 did I appreciate how much better they tasted when pi**ed!

Could do with one now for breakfast lol!!
