kebab

'The dirty kebab is a post-pub British tradition; that fatty melange of meat and its throat constricting pong of the garlic sauce unparalleled elsewhere. I pray that kebabs will not be subject to stringent regulations that will hamper experimentation in this noble industry, as it continues to bravely stand against the gastrofication of our culinary habits'
