Battle of the food court gyros vendors

(n.b. there was no actual battle, this is just a metaphor) I had no plans to go out and eat kebabs today. Today was just going to be a normal day, sitting in, heating on, playing Forza Horizon 4 and seeing how many trams on a pretty damn realistic looking Princes Street I could destroy […]

Botan, Liverpool

Right! Time to skip the usual introductory pissing about, because with this kebab the picture really does tell the whole story: Look at that. I mean, look at it. For the interests of fairness, yes, there is a filter on the photo, however it doesn’t mean that this is unauthentic – I just needed to […]

The Glasvegan, St Enoch Square

Hello! In a recent discussion with a vegan about this very blog, he was very complimentary about the writing (yeah, it’s alright, I guess, but won’t win any awards or nothing) but lamented the fact that, as things had to die in the making of the foods that I eat and then loosely write about, […]

Beirut ๐ŸŒŸ (or Beirut Star), Cessnock

Hello again dear reader! Today’s adventure has taken me to Cessnock, home of amongst other things Glasgow’s The Glasgow Science Centre, Bellahouston Park, home of occasional gigs and religious visits, The dentists where I had my wisdom teeth forcibly removed from my mouth, a Co-Op But you haven’t come here for a geography lesson. No. […]

Falafel, Manchester

How do. Back once again with the renegade master, and this time around Shawarma Police have travelled some considerable distance with their D4 damager to report on some severely ill behaviour in the world of kebab – a mere 400 mile round trip to get some lunch to Manchester and back. “BUT WHY? YOU CAN […]

Lazord, Glasgow

Oi Oi! Before we get going on today’s excellent “content”, let’s delve into the Shawarma Police fan mail, shall we? “Dear Shawarma Police, I don’t think you’re a real policeman, and it’s only a matter of time before you’re exposed as a FRAUD and a PHONEY. Yours faithfully, Reginald Hollis” Well Reginald, that was insightful. […]

Shawarmarama, Platform @ The Arches, Glasgow

Hi hi hi hi hi, hi. Once upon a time there was a nightclub. This nightclub lived below a mainline railway station, and had many adventures. Then, one day, the Police got involved and said “Excuse me, Mr Nightclub, but you can’t have any adventures any more”, and shortly afterwards it shut down. This made […]

Braw Falafel.2.Go, Glasgow

Word. As I sit here idly thumbing this in on my phone, one thought races through my mind: “if it’s been signed for, how the fuck can it be lost?” Forgive the profanity, but I’ve just been chasing up an eBay order at Argos. A big fan of their click and collect service normally, but […]

Dรถner Haus, Glasgow

Hello once again dear reader. How are you doing? Not a rhetorical question by the way, feel free to leave your answers in the comments. Me? I’m just dandy, thanks for asking. Now, late last year I posted a short piece about this place having eaten there the night before opening, but was short on […]
