Fancy a kebab?

[Forest]

You might want to give Wolverhampton a miss:

A Wolverhampton fast food shop owner is out of the kebab business after he was busted preparing the traditional English dish while a corpse lay on a nearby sofa.

Environmental health officers had been keeping an eye on Jaswinder Singh, 45, and his Pappu Sweet Centre since October 2007, the BBC explains. On 27 August, a police officer was dispatched to investigate a report of dead man at the premises.

A statement read to Wolverhampton Magistrates Court explained: "Upon his arrival the officer observed a dead male lying on a sofa at the rear of the main kitchen. Sat opposite to him was Mr Singh who was preparing food, making kebabs."

The court also heard that there were "a large number of flies in the room which were landing on food", an "awful smell", "thawing meat which was oozing blood and covered in flies", and a man "smoking and spitting on the filthy floor".

The fast food outlet was closed immediately. Singh "admitted a string of hygiene offences and was ordered to pay nearly £4,000 in fines and costs".

Wolverhampton council's cabinet member for the environment, councillor Barry Findlay, said: "We are pleased that the council's actions have resulted in the courts banning this individual from ever running a food business again."

In case you're wondering, the BBC has no details on how the corpse came to be on the sofa, but police said the death "had not been found to be suspicious and no further action had been taken over the matter".

From here.

A traditional English kebab , better known as a Donner Kebab, which is Greek/Turkish in origin, Is a split toasted pitta bread stuffed with Lamb meat and salad and chili yogurt lemon sauces.

Traditionally found on pavements all across Britain, the morning after a night on the piss. Well known as a major contributor to food poisoning out breaks, even without the help of nearby corpses. Tasty but

there's heaps of those in Welly. the crappy ones on courtenay and Cuba are still edible AND they give student discount, but the absolute best is from Cafe Laz across town in Newtown

I read somewhere recently that the average kebab ("traditional" UK kebab that is) has less nutritional content than canned dog food. Not that you worry about those kind of statistics when you're on the way home from a night on the razz!

Yummmmm......

Marty, I'm sure there are kebab places in the Naki! We have a Turkish place here that we frequent and when we go over to Tauranga we almost always go to the Turkish to go over there when hungry... Damn fine food! mmmmmmm, now you've made me hungry!

Chicken, Beef or Lamb?

Yes I've found a couple my lovely but they're not the same, It's a specialist item.

They're cooked on a big vertical skewer spit roast thing and there are two distinct types.

At shops where they don't do much business, the big slab of lamb parts is heated up at lunch time allowed to cool till tea time, cooked again, then allowed to cool over night then cooked again and so on till it's full of botulism, listeria and salmonella flavours.

Conversely, busy establishments, slice off the meaty goodness to so many drunken customers that the majority of late night Friday kebabs are full of warm raw meat.

Still hungry?

I thought the national pommy dish was the Spotted Dick?? (Somehow this is gross when brought up with the above story)

Personally, I Falafel...there is this really awesome Turkish lunchbar in Turangi that we stop at religiously every year on our way to and from the Cold Kiwi!!! Best food after the restricted fare of burgers and chips of the weekend.

Martybabe, unless one has had the experience, one is never going to understand the full concept of the "kebab"...

Shall I get one on the way home on Friday night... Go on, shall I?
