Not only do I not have a problem with it, it is one of my great joys.
Bacon cheeseburgers.
Bacon dogs. (No cheese. I don’t like cheese with hot dogs.)
Club sandwiches.
Pizza with at least 2 meats. (Pepperoni and bacon, ground beef and bacon, or all 3!)
Roast beef and turkey sandwiches.
I should also add that, no, I don’t have a problem with it. My favorite mixed-meat concoction are cevapcici (aka chevapi, cevapi, chevapchichi…derived from the word “kebap”) or pljeskavica. Cevapi are little hand-formed sausage link and pljeskavica is pretty much the patty version of them. I make mine with a mix of lamb, pork, and beef or veal.
That is undoubtedly the craziest thing you have ever said on this board. When Zeus himself wanted to charge up a lightning bolt, he ate a slice of pepperoni pizza.
It actually happened to me late in life. Sometime in my late 40s. I just suddenly, for no particular reason, began to be repulsed by the notion of mixing the muscle of one animal with the muscle of another. I ate pepperoni pizza for many years and loved it. I still love the flavor of it (the way it’s seasoned). I just wish they’d use pork only. (Or beef only, but I think pork would be better.) Otherwise, I’m okay. Plants, no problem. Dairy, no problem. […sigh…] I’m just so fucking weird.
No doubt, but you’re allowed to be weird. In the grand scheme of things, it’s nothing more a quirk.
(Just don’t make up a religion with this food requirement, OK?)
Nope. It is more of a wrap in pita bread, all messy and drippy with all kinds of dead animals and yummy sauces. The meat could have come from a kebab, though.
Probably the same time that you don’t eat your victims at the same time as you eat their menses, methinks.
Liberal: Gyros (same word for singular and plural). Shawarma is the savory treat from the other side of the Mediterranean that Gyros wants to be when it grows up.
Awwww, shucks, Liberal, I’d have invited you for Christmas, last year we had a 3-bird roast (website - “Free range duck, pheasant and pigeon all boned and stuff in one family feast!”). And only the other day I was making a bolognese, with chicken liver & everything.
Yeah, I don’t get it. Reluctance to the mincing, something textural, that I can fully understand. I adore the flavour of olives, love olive oil, but cannot stand biting on one. No idea why (well, other than it feels horrible ).
I wonder whether you need a blind test. You’d need friends you can trust, to maybe prepare two sandwiches, both with a variety of fragrant meats, one from one animal, one from two. Etc.
Note that there’s different uses of terms in different places. The entire serving, as you describe, would be a damn fine 2am kebab in Britain. (‘Gee-ros? Ya fakin wha?’)
As the leading expert on meatloaf, I can say that the best on the planet combines ground beef and ground lamb. And I put ground Jimmy Dean sage sausage in my turkey stuffing.
I don’t have any problem with it! One of my favorite things in the world is a big sandwich on a crusty bun, with several kinds of deli meats - ham, roast beef, turkey, corned beef, salami, just about any combination, with provolone and maybe medium cheddar, mustard, tomato, onion and lettuce. And a kosher pickle (half sours, please) on the side. My wife calls me the king of sandwich makers. I like a bacon cheeseburger once in a blue moon, too. And Ball Park hot dogs. They plump when you cook 'em!
BTW, there is a dish made from chicken and eggs. It’s called a Mother And Child Reunion. Now you know where the song comes from!
Nope, gyros is pretty much the Greek version of what is known as a doner kebab elsewhere. Gyros and doner are pretty much the same thing–meat on a spit, served in some sort of flatbread, with veggies and sauces.
