Okay but seriously, where I'm from McDonald's is 200% the cost of pretty much any local non-chain fast food establishment (Who provide food of far higher quality). I do not understand how they are even open, or why anyone eats there.

Ugh, even if the entire US government woke up tomorrow, apologized to all of our allies, signed peace treaties with everyone to show we were serious, AND ended all wars forever, I'd still stand by this meme.
I did 6 months in Germany, and I had doner near fucking weekly.
Doner boxes are fucking fantastic, and simply god tier after a few Dunkels.
I respect any restaurant that features a spinning cone of meat.
European propaganda at it's finest.
Döner's are tasty, local and not expensive
Yeah, it just so happens I have been getting obsessed with it lately! They are also healthier and have more natural ingredients than McDonald's could bother to have.
And a Doner actually fills you up.
This reminded me of this Armstrong and Miller sketch (or documentary): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EoihKUbmM38
Bravo !
I was avoiding American companies fast food since the genocide in Gaza started since I didn't know which companies didn't have business with israel, I knew mcdonalds and starbucks did, so I didn't buy anything from them since then, but now I'm just avoiding them all. Since I started I've found a Brazilian fast food company that sells calzones and they're really cheap and tasty, as well as being much faster than the other fastfood places. I am now just missing a coffee shop that sells stuff like macchiato or those other drinks that starbucks sells, I love those and I cannot replicate them at home even with an espresso machine
There is a phone app called "No Thanks" which lets you search any company name to see whether they support Israel financially. It is always the big international (and usually American) companies. Rarely companies which are mostly contained within one country.
That is really nice!!! Thank you very much, I will use this so much!!
We have these in maritime Canada as well but we spell it Donair
Its funny, in ontario we only have shawarma. Lots and lots of shawarma, but I'd never heard of doner until i went to europe.
There was a sick Donair joint in Roncevales up until a few years ago
Well...slightly North Americanized. The sauce is basically just sugar with some garlic and vinegar mixed in. :P
Both donairs and doners are tasty, though!
And sometimes they even tell you what species it came from.
What do you mean, it says it clearly on the receipt!
Wait...
It's chiken, I've worked at shawarma stand for a month in the summer, you can trust my expertise.
Even when you choose the beef one?
Especially the beef one.
I'm going to let the consumer protection agency know that.
They're actually a bunch of chickens in a human suit too
It's chickens all the way down??
We just said that beef is still cooking, we can make a chicken one in the meantime. 🙃

Meat on a stick > Mc "meat"
Man, I miss doner every day, I wanna bring a doner restaurant from germany to my country rn
Same. I haven't been to Germany in 20 years, and I complain to my wife about craving döner at least once a week.
I've scoured the entire city for a good doner kebab, I cant forget how good it tastes. I cant wait to go back to germany haha
I thought you get them in pretty much every corner of the world these days.
For real, my city is a massive untapped market. There is quite a bit of kebab but none are actually good, and absolutely 0 doner kebab
A wild Dönermann appears. He offers you:
- Balls of deep fried chickpeas flour, rich in protein
or - An ungodly blob of mouldered animal tissue, dripping with cholesterol
What is your choice?
A vendor that lets their gyros moulder probably isn't making sanitary falafels either. So neither.
Both, Falafel is great with lamb.
fml... but latter
I had a döner once 25 years ago and I still remember how good it was.
I like Kebabs. Only thing i worry is about the hygiene standards in these shops. I saw a test and 4 out of 10 failed basic standard.
Just need to pick the 6 good ones!

I don't eat much fast food nowadays, but a good dürüm kicks a burger every time.
