Seabag why are you talking in riddles? You sound like Russell Brand spaced out.

Odd that it may seem Kebabs are actually a lot healthier than most other take away food alternatives.

Grass-fed lamb can also contain valuable amounts of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), a health supportive fatty acid. Grass-fed lamb is an excellent source of vitamin B12 and a very good source of protein, selenium, and niacin. It is also a good source of zinc and phosphorus.

Kebabs usually come with a reasonable amount of healthy salad which can be eaten or discarded.

Unlike the lettuce leaf and slice of tomato that accomplies most burgers..

Burgers are served in a high G.I. white bun whilst Kebabs come with a Low G.I pita bread.

Chilli sauce is also a healthy condiment..

Kebabs get a bad press whilst Burgers do not..

Chinese food is one of the worst most unhealthy. High sugar , salt, colourings, fat, MSG.

Never had a bad tummy upset from a Kebab..

Being vegetarian spares me from dodgy meat. But I like Honest Burger because all of their meat is ethically sourced from free range farms. We have been to the one in Brixton and had their vegetarian options, whereas you would never get me through the door of a McDonalds, ever!

Have you any idea how many houses would burn down at the weekend if every pissed bloke wanting a kebab started cooking when they got home?

And for me, a kebab and a burger are about as similar as a burger and a bolognese.

I know, it's to spice up a duller than dull burger vs kebab info drop, but we got it anyway

Heaven 'grass fed' help us

[Grok]

Kebab fed lamb

[Louisa]

I personally love a good kebab, my allegiances have been with K&W for many years now and it will not be changing any time soon. Burgers are more a treat than a weekly occurrence for me.

Louisa.

[Seabag]

Good kebabs i'm good with, but burgers haven't been on my food map for ages

And i'm not sure they're likely to return anytime soon

I do like a Fish Dog from Hix's wagon on a Saturday, very nice

What and where is this? I like the sound of that.

[Jeremy]

Brockley Market. It's basically a fish finger sandwich.

Jeremy is Louisa and I claim my five pounds.

[Pizza/cheeseontoast]

[Jeremy]

Well it is deep fried fish in breadcrumbs, served inside a bread roll. So quite a lot like a fish finger sandwich. Tasty though.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Pollocks, surely?

Erm....what part of Fish/Dog didn't you figure out Jah

Fish in a bun with minted mushy pea puree and a kick arse tartare sauce

It's bloody lovely, as are the crab chips

[Louisa]

Yeah Seabag, so it's still a fish finger sandwich. Probably served by bearded hipsters. "Mushy pea pur?e" lmfao funniest thing I've heard all day! Crab chips? Really? What planet do these people live on? Is this even south east London anymore? I reckon we have been abducted and landed in San Francisco. I now claim my fiver too!

Louisa.

[edhistory]

Are we sure this is not a wind-up relating to fish and finger pies?

Well yes, it's a big fish finger...like so what?

No beards, just made by a respected chef who's got a good fish restaurant on the coast

Fish = fish

Dog might indicate a bun or something similar. If you want to call a long roll an sandwich, then crack on, knock your self out Lou

Mushy peas but finer, so they don't fall out of the bun

Then crab meat with chips, like in any seaside town. Is that something odd or new ?

Yeah, is that all like TOTALLY San Fran OUT THERE. Or are you on the vino again

Not at all Seabag. It's yet again ANOTHER example of posh patronising food infiltrating working class neighbourhoods. I am sick to death of hearing about sandwiches with basic fillings being given fancy names, what's the bloody point? As for the whole "crab meat and chips like in any seaside town" what the actual funk? Who goes to Southend or Bognor and asks for that? Fish cake check, cockles with vinegar check, chips check - BUT crab meat and chips? Is there some middle class seaside destination only those 'in the know' are aware of? Or is this yet another made up 'discovered' menu option that's been magicked up by hipsters and other middle class folk to sound trendy? Yeah thought so...

Louisa.

[Seabag]

Oh I see, nothing to do with food at all, but an alcho-pop at the middle classes

And since when was Brockley Market or its surrounding parts the bastion of 'the working class' FFS.

I also come from a seaside town, where (defrosted) cockles and vinegar and fish cakes were served to the kiss-me-quick brigade turned up by train from the cities miles away

All sold in the shops where the people who lived there didn't ever eat, and that closed out of season. I knew the families that ran them too.

But being stupid and middle class we bought fresh fish and cooked it at home, and fishermen sold cooked crabs. I know it's amazing isn't it, patronising even.

And chips, now there's a thing. Who'd of thought of that with something fishy

[Seabag]

Honestly, as a family we never went to seaside towns like Southend or Bognor (though we lived within striking distance of the latter)

Too low end touristy i'm afraid

Different life experiences I suppose

[Louisa]

Seabag, I had to pee on your fire here, but you romanticised view of the British seaside you claim to have grown up in is a little bit further from reality in my experience. Most seaside towns are run down, way past their glory days, places where most people are struggling to survive because there are no jobs. I don't personally think they will be popping down to the harbour to pick up cooked crabs to take home and make merry with fresh produce in some 'darling buds of May' type world. They're more than likely going to be heading to Iceland to pick up a pack of frozen fish fingers in Hastings and Margate aren't they now?

Louisa.

[Louisa]

Low end touristy? Come on then. Where did you grow up? Near Bognor you say? I genuinely can't think of anywhere nice within striking distance which isn't a street that's featured on some channel 5 show about run down Britain.

Louisa.

[Seabag]

I'd never been to Hasting or Margate until my late 30's

Hove, Ferring, Worthing (where I lived once) Arundel even, and pretty middle class yes

As I said, different experiences but not in a Darling Buds of May way, that's a bit sniffy in itself no?
