What has kekab to do with potatoes? Don’t get near my kebab with those abominations.
In various places with turkish diaspora, the locals treat it as a generic takeway, so various other things are served that aren’t part of turkish cuisine, like chips, pizza, maybe fried fish.
Turkish people remind me of the Chinese in a way, they know how to adapt their cuisine to meet whatever the locals like. There are a handful of very successful bagel shops run by Turkish people near where I live.
I wonder if they are sephardic jews?
EDIT : Ask about simit to make them smile!
You don’t add fries to your kebab!?
I’ve never seen that, but it was my first guess as well. People here are already doing Doner-boxes with fries, meat and sauce in a takeout box, I’m assuming for people under doctor’s orders to eat a veggie-free high-grease and high-sodium diet.
Years ago I’ve ate one with fries in Italy. It was okay ish. I mean its extra fat salt and carbs added so it must be.
I don’t.
Potatoes
abiminations
Seamus, get the armalite
some places use french fries for volume instead of cabbage/coleslaw. Ngl, they be cookin, potatoes absorb the sauce and the meat juice, making it incredibly more tasty.
it’s great, u should try it >:3
No
In Armenia, they put potatoes into shawarma (a more common name for durum/kebab), so it’s a little bit of everything: meat, veggies, potatoes, sauce. But it’s non-essential and not a lot would change if it’s removed.
You guys would be amazed how much potato meal is used for
Potato starch goes into paper and board manufacturing, textiles, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, and also food as a thickener.
Some potatoes are also fermented into alcohol (vodka) or bioethanol
I’ve even heard rumors of some people boiling and then eating them!
No way! Like in a stew?
For example!
I HAVE to write this down!

Doner with potato? WTF. Where I come from, “Döner” is meat and vegetables in flatbread, I don’t see where potato is supposed to come in.
Either way, before potatoes were introduced in my country, most people ate bread or grain-based porridges/gruels with every meal. Since it was usually wholegrain, that might even have been healthier than peeled potatoes.
Doner wth fries is very common where I am
Kebab on chip, house sauce, hold the tomatoes.
and vegetables
Seems the most logical place however potato bread has seen use.
The way I heard it, great potato famine wasn’t as big a deal as the extreme exploitation, colonization, and failure of industrialization as well as landlords and religious apartheid that began earlier.
Which very much surprised me.
It exacerbated existing problems and piled more on top.
Exploitation led to potato being relied upon near exclusively due to how cheap it was per calorie. So when the famine hit, it affected many places but it affected Ireland uniquely severely.
Depends on how you define, “potato.” There are some really similar tube roots, like sweet potato and batatas. Taro, beets, parsnips and other veggies make really good chips.
Starve to death.
As an American all of these consequences seem nonsensical
You aren’t concerned about losing potato chips or French fries? I’m confiscating your American card.
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Climate Change motherfuckerWell,if it wasn’t for the famine, I would still be in Ireland
If potatoes disappeared, i would probably just not eat potatoes. May need to eat more bread because of it, from 94.3% of all food i eat to 94.6% of all food i eat
*Bag of Chips
Typically the chippys give you them in a box, in the past an old newspaper, but a bag would probably be acceptable.
… Go for sweet potatoes instead? There’s a lot of vegetables from which crisps can be made.
Do kebap shops often use potatoes??
