But how is that a win when you spent MORE than the cost of one kebab on the ingredients.

Made my own kebabs tonight \:d/

Chicken breast, coated in my four secret herbs and spices. Wait. I don't think it included any herbs. Whatever, it was Cumin, Coriander, Salt and Pepper.

Got the bread a $1 for a pack of 7 from "Grandpa's Nuts" in Fairfield Chase after my Mission Employment interview (9 fucking am, fucking hell, sat there for 5 minutes, told them I should be starting my 7 month temp job next month, they told me to come back in 2 weeks. At 9am again.)

Anyway.

Sliced up the chicken so it'd cook well, combined the spice mix (could probably add some dried Oregano perhaps, or some Paprika to make it hotter, but I cbf).

Split a couple spring onions into thirds, added the cheese, sliced a tomato, and some spinach leaves. Had some leftover garlic sauce from a chicken the day before, and some tomato sauce to finish.

Had two in the sandwich press, one without.

Brochure: If I did make one, I'd know how to fucking spell my address properly. 5/5.
Chips: Didn't bother, didn't have any chips or potato to make them.
Kebabs: Not quite super solid, but having three makes up for that. Bread was crisp on the pressed and soft on the unpressed. Wish I had more garlic. 9.5/10 because I had three.
Drink: A 99c coles sugar free 1.25L coke. Can't beat that.

Cost:
Drink: $1
Bread: (($1/7)*3) = .42c
Cheese: Was leftovers that my sister bought, so free.
Chicken: $10 for 4, used one, $2.50
Spring Onion: Maybe 50 cents?
Spinach: Didn't buy it, so free.
Garlic Sauce: Left-overs from the other day, so free. If I had to buy it i'd be about .30c for the amount I'd use.
Tomato: Didn't buy, so free.
Spices: Negligible.

So about $4.72 in total, $1.57 each.

Getting stooged by these shonk merchants charging $8 a kebab.

There is a Lebanese bakery at Rockdale that have so many mispelling, that it is kinda an attraction :lol: vigiteren as vegetarian and meet as meat :lol: :lol:

:lol: I couldn't stop laughing when i read the brochure when I got it.

Review of new kebab shop at Fairfield heights next to the car wash:

Brochure: Managed to mis-spell "Boulevard" as "Boleverd" and Heights as "Hights". 5/5 for Ethnic Spelling Hilarity.
Chips: Drowned in chicken salt. Crispy though. Warm but not hot. 2/5. 3 if the salt was reduced, 4 if hot.
Kebab: Very solid. Big unit. Not like some of the other places where it feels insubtantial. Bread is nice and crisp. Nicely layered. Not a lot of dripping juices which is good. Used the classic trick of using melted cheese to hold the kebab in place. Big fail on the amount of garlic sauce though. Really should've used more. 8/10 though.
Drink: Was only a 300m can, I expect a 600m can for a $12.50 snack pack.

Overall score, 7/10.

My sister went up to get it so I blame her for the failures for the most part, so if I go, I'd expect a 9/10 by reducing the salt, doubling up on the onions and garlic sauce, and getting a 600m bottle.

Had a very ordinary Kebab last night. The meat was awful, not enough salads, the bread was thick and non-crispy and overall it was a crap kebab. Dissapointed :( .

I always have mine pressed. But there's a fine line between making the bread a little crispy and burning the entire thing. My local shop does it perfectly. It's beautiful. I usually have it pressed whether I get cheese or not.

I'm gonna have a kebab for lunch I think. Yes. Yes I will. :D

unpressed like the softer wrap

Always have cheese, but never pressed. I prefer the fresh salad taste to counter the greasy taste. Makes for a wonderful balance.

In Adelaide they are around but few far and between. Though yiros bars are everywhere. When I went to Sydney last year I feel in love with the kebab. So much more options than just lamb or chicken and PRESSED! I love the pressed kebab!

Never thought about it unpressed tbh. Do always have cheese so I guess it's a given.

I usually get cheese so I like em pressed.

I have found with the engish unlike in aus where we have say a keba shop, a fish and chip shop etc etc all shops out here are all in one, they do everything, i have also found when it comes to kebabs they have no idea how to pack em, one last week was put into those white boxers you get when you get fish and chips, and by god it was messy to eat,wasnt that good either,

Either/Or for me really. Doesn't bother me. I'm in it for the onion and meat rather than the cheese or lettuce.

There's a new kebab shop opening up at Fairfield Forum I read in the Advance (or Champion, one of those shit local papers).

There's also one at Fairfield Heights which only opened a few weeks ago.

This.

I don't mind them pressed if I get cheese in it, but otherwise unpressed is the way to go. No wilted lettuce, thanks.

Simpily some of the best!

What you guys think about the pressed-unpressed kebab debate? I'm digging the kebabs at my local. They don't put them in the press so you got the hot meat and cool salad and sauce.

That job would be awesome and shit at the same time.

When I grow up, I wanna be...:-"

Kebab shop in Hurstville is now hiring... :d :d :d

I'll probably go get one after work tomorrow.

Kebab shop in Balmain open to 1:00am Sunday-Thursday. Friday & Saturdays open till 3:30am. \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/

I need to go get me a Kebab...damn cravings. Fucking kebab stands always close on either Monday or Tuesday too.

So I got myself a kebab after the staff work meeting this afternoon. Had a free Tab, free Pool, and a Kebab. Great afternoon.

I'm not sure if that's perplexing or illustrates the joke perfectly :lol:

Berta from 2 and half men instantaneously came to mind. :lol:
