Kebab sauce

[H18 SFR]

I've been living through the west for the last decade now - generally, kebabs are gash, particularly the chilli sauce, a plus they don't do salads dressing.

I'm missing Edinburgh kebabs, I've had one at each of the last here games, from three different places. At each place the chilli and salad sauce seemed the same. Can anyone tell me if they buy it in from somewhere? I need to get some pronto.

The chip shops aren't as good either with a few exceptions.

Totally agree. They clearly accept any old crap through here.

[Smartie]

Regional tastes.

People from the West tend not to think much of what we in the East have to offer in this department. I can't believe how many people find chippy sauce weird.

Clearly we in the East are correct though.

Clearly anything you have to drown in sauce to mask the flavour must be pretty poor :-)

I like it there but £8 for a large donner is taking the proverbial.

[H18 SFR]

Nobody able to tell me how to get or how to make the sauces. Seriously, I'm rattling here.

Aye, they are starting to lose the plot re prices.

Apart from buying a few tubs next time you are in one of the kebab shops, I don't think I've saw it anywhere on sale in bottles like chippy sauce.

Is it not just watered down Chilli sauce?

[pollution]

I like it there but £8 for a large donner is taking the proverbial. Just looked at their menu: £10.50 for a large doner and £2.50 for a portion of chips? The drunken hunger has no budget!

No it's the salad dressing he's on about. I'm sure it's salad cream that's watered down and a bit of seasoning added to it. I'm not really sure though.

Tahini sauce is the best salad dressing I have ever had on a kebab.

I've never tried it. I googled it and it seems pretty simple to make, I might give it a bash at the weekend.

I can't speak for Scotland, but down South the kebab houses buy their chilli sauce from various branches of Costco. Ask in the shop where they buy it as the chances are they don't make it fresh.

Never tried this but I'm willing to give it a whirl (BTW - I have a local Kurdish charcoal restaurant that is by far the best in North London and adding sauce is a sin).

Mmm - what will I have for lunch tomorrow :shhhsh!:

I got a bottle of Indian tomatos, garlic and chilli sauce in the Indian foods section of Tesco that was quite like the stuff from the kebab places.

Fast food outlets (kebab shops) are exactly that - they serve fast food and don't have chefs and won't do much more than slice the odd tomato and onion. They don't prepare fresh food and even their marinades are pre-bought.

The sauce will come in a catering pack that will be refrigerated - where it comes from I don't know...but it won't be from Tesco.

Ask the question when you are next in a shop and you'll get the answer.

[Scouse Hibee]

If you want a sauce similar to the hot chilli sauce most of them use. Try "Chefs Larder" hot chilli sauce available on amazon and in many cash and carrys.

£10.50 for a large donner? Wow, that must be the most expensive in Britain. Never seen anything close to that price.

I wouldn't pay that for a donner. Chicken Breast Tikka chargrilled is my kebab of choice on the rare occasions I have one and I pay about £6.50 for a large one.

I've never paid that for a Topkapi large doner, I take it that includes delivery?

I better be the best quality donor meat for that price!!!!

I started a thread about the browny yellow salad dressing a few years back but still not found the recipe.

My Mrs makes a version with salad creme mixed with balsamic vinger and something else, but it's not the same.

See, great minds think alike and all that. Can you check with her exactly what the recipe is for me please?

[Hibee87]

See, great minds think alike and all that. Can you check with her exactly what the recipe is for me please? Will do mate, like I said its not the same as it has a more vinegary sour taste, but that could be either her missing an ingredient and/or using too much salad creme or somthing. The colour is defo the same though. Will let you know :thumbsup:

[H18 SFR]

My Yam mate has just told me that there is/was a similar thread on Sickback about this very topic. They couldn't get the answer, lets show them how its done and get the recipe lol/

Does donner 'meat' come in any other form?

[Peevemor]

I used to get great kebabs in the place across the road from Middletons on Easter Road.

I don't know if it's the same guy that has the place, but he used to make his own donners so that he knew exactly where the meat came from.

I used to go there all the time, but I prefer the best kebab on Leith walk now.

Asda sell a brand called ' Crucials ' sauce which may be what you are looking for.

Check their website for their range and stockists

Tried that one mate. That's not the one unfortunately.

[trev the hat]

Agreed
There's a good bit munching in a large doner from topkapi
Pretty sure most large doners are around £8 now. (proper kebab houses)
There & kebab mahal Edinburgh's top 2 IMO
The one in Tolcross Brougham St (used to be decent years ago & was well worth a pit stop on the way home.) Might be shut nowadays though.

[Cabbage East]

There's a book by a guy called Kenny McGovern called the takeaway secret or something similar. It has really good recipes for kebab shop sauces etc. It's on amazon.

Used to nip into Best Kebab when I was steaming when I lived in Leith. Was always good.:agree:

I got a large shish and a portion of tatties on the way home after the game on Friday. When I got up in the morning I looked at the clothes I was wearing and I appeared to be wearing a large part of the food. It was great though.

I can't remember if it actually happened or it was a dream, but I'm sure I saw frozen doner meat for sale in a shop once.

To be fair it doesn't sound like Best can be blamed for that :greengrin

A couple of mates picked up a DIY kebab in box out a supermarket, with included boil in the bag meat. That was at least 5 years though so hopefully its been discontinued by now.

[kenny.ff]

I love doner meat.but dont actualy know what it is. Lips and ********s is what the guy from work says,😂

Perhaps not exactly the same, but one of the frozen food supermarkets were selling donner meat/kebabs which turned out to be horse meat,,,, maybe that's why you can't get them anymore?

I remember having a pub conversation many years ago when some trumpet was going on about how he never ate hot dogs because the meat was crap - pig scrotum, pigeons' lips and stuff like that in them.

We got years worth of fun laughing at him for thinking that pigeons had lips though.

Dunno about where to buy it, but this popped up on my Facebook one day so I had to go and try to make it. It's a bit of a faff, and I modified it a bit, but it actually turned out pretty good :aok:

It's the chilli sauce that makes or breaks it, and we still don't know where to buy it!

Really! Surely you don't think they all use the same brand?

Kebab meat: processed, reformed, heavily spiced mixed meat,fat laden ******. Should only ever be eaten when pished;-).

I steer clear of it these days and just go for chicken in my kebab.

Funnily enough me too, love a Chicken Shish Kebab, may have to wait for it, but at least it's cooked in front of me

Yup, I've got both of them-they are magic.

Here's some recipes for you all, pretty close in taste to the real thing [emoji1360]
