The Kebab

I dedicate this post to the humble kebab!
From the ordinary doner kebab (the ones they slice off the huge circular moving roast of meat), shish kebabs, lamb and chicken kebab ... the kebab is YUMMY. A rather exotic dish back home and never really popular, the kebab is relatively standard fare in most European nations due to the large Turkish emigre. 3 of the 4 European nations I've been, Germany, UK and France seem to have many, many Turkish kebab cafes.
I just had a fantastic kebab supper and it all started like this. I was VERY bored since most folks have already left London and the rest seem to have countless errands to run; meanwhile Passfield is really a shell now with many students having already left for home; thus I found myself taking a walk out to Oxford Street hoping to exhaust myself so that I could plumb back into bed upon my return. Heh after 20 min however I was overwhelmed by a craving for kebab! Hence I walked to the END of Oxford Street, Goodge Street, Warren Street (where previously some Passfield fellows had mentioned abt a 24hr kebab place) and back to Euston but to no avail. It was already ONE HOUR since I had left ... and now I was really hungry! Just as I was starting to compare myself to Harry (as in Harry and Kumar Go To Whitecastle - they travel leagues and endure terrible mishaps just to get the fabled Whitecastle burger!), I stumble upon *drum roll* "24 hr Fish and Chips" along King's Cross! Ah the fulfillment of a nights dream! Supper almost never tasted this good! Ok I'm really dramatising things here cos I'm b_r_d, but you get the picture!
There that's it for my adventures with the humble kebab.
