Well, I've never seen a doner kebab, so I can't really speak to that... Phelix Send a noteboard - 09/09/2010 12:24:57 AM
When it's stuffed into a pita we call it a pita. *shrug*

The meat is one, I'd say. As the word "döner" indicates, it's scraped off rotating grills to put it in the bread, for döner kebab. Pita tends to be different meat, here anyway. And the bread I'd use for pita isn't the same as that for kebab, either, but that may not be the case everywhere. So I guess it is fairly similar, in conclusion. :P


But pitas can be made in a variety of ways. First, grilled meat stuffed into a pita with sauce and veggies; secondly rotisseried meat (usually a combination meat, lamb, beef, chicken, pressed into a cylindrical shape) that is shaved into slices and put into pita bread with veggies and sauce; and the third way I've seen pita done was with pre-sliced portions of meat that were heated and put inside pita with sauce and veggies.

The bread is always "pita bread." There might be variation for region or flavors... but it's a six inch round of flatbread.

EDIT: Snoopster reminded me of Gyros, which are another way to call pitas... and are delicious. :D

Do you know the weirdest thing about Scotland? Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:26:18 PM 1468 Views
True, and I agree with your theory. Camilla - 08/09/2010 11:31:46 PM 948 Views
Good. I thought it made sense. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:33:25 PM 1047 Views

deep fried mars bars? *NM* Yunalesca - 08/09/2010 11:34:09 PM 440 Views
They're actually very tasty. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:34:33 PM 624 Views
shame that they look like a heart attack tho. *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 587 Views
Eat them with your eyes closed? Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:46 AM 1201 Views
*twitches* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:04:21 AM 973 Views
Kebabs are not repulsive! You're repulsive! Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:07:33 AM 1146 Views
*cries* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:11:17 AM 1144 Views
*offers a hankie* Sorry. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:12:54 AM 971 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:13:06 AM 1013 Views
I mostly mean meat on a stick, with the occasional veggie, roasted over fire or grilled. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:14:43 AM 993 Views
Ah. In Britain, "kebab" means Doner Kebab. I think they call the other one Shish Kebab. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:17:56 AM 942 Views
I've heard shishkebab before, but just assumed it was shortened to kebab. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:21:22 AM 1005 Views
It is a good question - what's the difference between pita and (döner) kebab. Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:20:38 AM 1009 Views
Well, I've never seen a doner kebab, so I can't really speak to that... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:24:57 AM 1077 Views

Now, Gyros I know. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:31:55 AM 1062 Views
I'm thinking "Aladdin's Gyrocery" isn't Greek... Awesome name though. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:10 AM 590 Views
Yeah, I'm guessing their not Greek... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:34:44 AM 1058 Views
Yes but in Scotland, your Gyro is something completely different. Michael - 09/09/2010 09:56:52 AM 947 Views
*NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 04:15:51 PM 533 Views
Uhg! I went to Scotland and ate nothing deep fried! Ben! Where is my Mars bar??? *NM* M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 12:03:22 AM 480 Views
it fell in the frier? *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:05:45 AM 621 Views
Maybe he figured you didn't want to eat American food staples while you were there. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 09/09/2010 12:26:30 AM 629 Views
But the Fried Mars Bar is for some reason, a Scotish national dish! We did have great food though mm *NM* M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 04:32:10 AM 620 Views
Similar in Mexico... Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:38:46 PM 1062 Views
Huh. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:40:27 PM 1096 Views
Yuh huh. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:08 PM 1017 Views
Well. My lecturers and tutors left that out. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:47:21 PM 981 Views
Much shame on them. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:49:57 PM 1027 Views
Re: Much shame on them. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:53:37 PM 896 Views
True... most Chicanos prefer it a bit warmer than "freezing cold." Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:55:23 PM 1018 Views
Jugo? I'd say zumo... Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:51:10 PM 1144 Views
I'm probably strange, but that makes me think of tomatoes. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:51 PM 879 Views
Might be used for tomatoes too, sure. But zumo de naranja, zumo de manzana, etc., all works. Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:01:47 AM 1074 Views
zumo is Spanish-Spanish, I believe Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:02:14 AM 1050 Views
Yeah, but I was confused because Rebekah said jugo was Spanish-Spanish. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 09:47:21 AM 661 Views
Maybe it's a regional thing? Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:50:11 AM 946 Views
I don't know if that's weirder than manskirts, musical vacuum cleaners and eating sheep guts... *NM* ßelals Girl - 08/09/2010 11:40:03 PM 658 Views
I have no idea what you're talking about. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:42:32 PM 1059 Views
What, Spain and Scotland (okay, and Brittany) are "almost every European country" now? *NM* Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:52:18 PM 662 Views
There was some unexpected country with bagpipes the other day. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:56:07 PM 1135 Views
Actually, this is a better list. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:57:47 PM 1039 Views
Okay. We'll just have to conclude they're really, really obscure/rare in most of those countries. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:00:07 AM 617 Views
Well. They're certainly not popular anymore. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 944 Views
I can't imagine why *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:26:29 AM 630 Views
Awww. Bagpipes played well are lovely. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:32:36 AM 1100 Views
it also helps if they arn't played right down your ear *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:44:38 AM 513 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:45:59 AM 604 Views
my ears still ring every now and then *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:51:10 AM 629 Views
What are you talking about, bagpipe music rocks! *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:43 AM 596 Views
They sound like a car alarm in a blender ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:59:58 AM 1061 Views
I can't stop laughing at your comparison. nossy - 09/09/2010 02:56:30 AM 1101 Views

I dunno. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:43:01 AM 963 Views
It's OK... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:45:41 AM 966 Views
Rocky mountain... oysters? Buh? Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:50:05 AM 1152 Views
If they're the same as regular mountain oysters... Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:51:37 AM 932 Views
Nope! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:09:02 AM 981 Views
They are not oysters at all! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:08:32 AM 986 Views
