    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.

        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.

    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?

        For real, my city is a massive untapped market. There is quite a bit of kebab but none are actually good, and absolutely 0 doner kebab

    I like Kebabs. Only thing i worry is about the hygiene standards in these shops. I saw a test and 4 out of 10 failed basic standard.

      Great news! I think Dodge just fired all the health inspectors as costly dead weight, so all restaurants now have a perfect 10/10!

      I had a beer at a posh downtown bar a few months back while waiting for someone. You have no idea how many mice I saw zigzagging across the floor, but I think you’re getting an idea.

      Adds some flavor to it. And if you don’t get sick, it’s all good.

        Am from Germany. 5€ at our current favourite döner. Seitan döner with a very good vegan cocktail sauce. My other favourite right across our flat is 6,50€ - falafel döner with hummus and all kinds of other freshness. 6,50€ is rather expensive for my tastes and my wallet but pretty cheap compared to the nationwide average. 5€ is beyond cheap

          So jealous. Where I am in Germany, a standard Döner is €8-9, and a seitan one is €9-10. There’s zero reason for seitan to be more expensive, except that they know people will pay it

              Yeah, but everything’s more expensive there. I thought there were a lot of people eating non meat options in Sweden though, it’s surprising that you don’t have seitan kebabs. I always get a yufka/dürüm/wrap though and that’s more expensive.

          In Switzerland we start with 10€ … but I’ve seen up to 18€ (well, CHF but almost the same).

    I’ve always wanted to try döner, but they’re impossible to find in the US, at least outside large cities :(

      Yeah, they are rare in the US and usually in cites only. There was a döner place not too far my from work in my old city and I haven’t found a place yet in my new location. The Greek food isn’t as good here either, so gyros haven’t been able to step in as a replacement. First world problem, but I still miss them.

      Gyros and shawarma are both types of / related to döner; you might have more luck finding one of them.

      I saw a chain for a brief time called “Vertskebap” but it didn’t last long. Maybe because they were also charging $16 a pop.

    Döner macht schöner, auf Dauer auch schlauer. McDonalds just makes fat.
