Hello hello hello hello hello. The last time we figuratively spoke, I went to Sunderland to eat a kebab. Whilst this was a worthwhile experience (see Döner Haus Sunderland), it’s not something I could do on a regular basis – it takes time, money, commitment, and above all, a big lack of something better to do […]
Alreet. I can’t place *exactly* where I was, but it must have been somewhere between Alnmouth (for Alnwick) and Newcastle (for Newcastle) when I had not one, but two epiphanies: firstly, that travelling 130-odd miles for a kebab was immensely tragic, and secondly, isn’t 35 a bit young to be having a mid-life crisis in […]
“What the hell, guy” Sorry, what? “First you do a music review with a contrived bit at the end to make it look vaguely food related, then, for a supposed “Glasgow” blog, you go and review somewhere I’m never gonna go about 430 miles away????” Oh, yeah, sorry about that. Except: I’m not sorry at […]
Ahoy hoy. So, I decided to go back to ‘Babs. If you want to read what I wrote about it the last time, it’s over here! The tl;dr of my first visit can be summed up as follows: kebab – small, alright but not mind blowing cup of tea – mind blowingly small And […]
“You review kebabs??” “Yes.” “What, REALLY???” This was an actual conversation that I had at work the other day. We were discussing the merits of Shawarma King (very good, recommended was my view), only to be challenged on the legitimacy of this view, because “it sounds like they only sell Shawarma”. I pointed my colleague […]
In all honesty, this is going to be a swift review. They’re not very good. Which is a shame. They tick all the right boxes, they open late, they have a big glowing sign, they have decent seating, but then they also sell this: This, ladies and gentlemen, is a doner kebab. Let’s start with […]
I was in town the other day, when I saw this: SO MANY QUESTIONS. I mean, the obvious one is this one: WHY? But that in of itself is not a very helpful question to ask, because the only answer to WHY, the wise man said, is “WHY NOT”. So here are some others: What […]
Well. I, err, um. I don’t really know how to tell you all how I came by a packet of Farmfoods Doner Meat. I was of relatively sound mind, hadn’t been drinking or nothing, and I thought it was a good idea to buy. “What’s the worst that can happen?” I thought. “I’m not going […]
Recently, on my Facebook page, I was asked the question “what is the best kebab shop in the West End?” – and I couldn’t answer that. Truth is, it’s been years since I spent any serious amount of time in the West End, and so much has changed. Trump is now President of the United […]
You know what they say about buses, right? You wait ages for one, and then three turn up at once? Well, I am a self declared transport expert, and the people who say this are not, so please, take this advice with a pinch of salt. However, it also serves as a handy metaphor for […]
