Got beef mince. Choose my dinner:

I was going for something-keema myself, but that works, people.

Sunanda

@_thegeoff a kebab is but keema held together with besan and gentle pressure (and hope).

@Theorem_Poem I see it two ways (cos I am NOT coming down on a side in geogastropolitics... 😉 )

There's those who say a kebab is anything cooked on a rotating spit....and fair enough.

There's those who say this is a great way to cook a bunch of minced whatever (and I'm a big fan of using all possible edible things), and I agree with this too.

But everybody is wrong, because the greatest kebab ever is my first one, aged 17, a Donner with extra chilli sauce after a night out in Dundee.

@Theorem_Poem Statistically it was probably Turkish. Or at least that corner of the Mediterranean coast. But wow...and other than the grease-laden meat, kind of healthy, a bigger dose of raw salad than most fast food here.

@_thegeoff oh, I love all kebabs and I fully acknowledge that they aren't an Indian (whatever was ancient India in our imagination) invention. We got 'em because of Mughal dynasties and trade routes and all of that. So yeah, kebab is mince held together. And bits of protein cooked on spit or tandoor or whatever outdoor fire source. 😅

@Theorem_Poem We're actually arguing linguistics, aren't we? Like the claim that JFK's "Ich bin ein Berliner" actually translates as "I am a very specific donut" 😂
