the kebab...so much more than i bargained for

While I was in Nice, I had the extreme fortune of tasting my first kebab sandwich. Due to a fire on my train, Brian, Sarah, and I didn't get back into town until about 9:00 and by the time the boys got themselves all prettied up, it was 11, and we still had not eaten...leaving us with only two options...McDonalds or kebabs. Being the daring and adventure seeking individuals that we are, we opted for the kebab! So what is a kebab? Well if you ever find yourself in Europe, you will probably walk around the downtown of any major city and notice in the windows of some fast food restaurants one big huge cylinder of meat rotating on a big stick (reminiscent of the shish kabob concept familiar to Americans, but it's so much more!). That my friends, is the source of kebab splendor. I'm not sure what kind of meat it is, if I had to guess I would venture pork, but it's good stuff...as long as you don't look too closely at what you're eating. The kebab connoisseurs take a knife and shave off parts of this huge hunk of meat into a tortilla wrap, throw some fries, lettuce, tomato, and whatever other sauce you desire in it, and you've got a super filling and satisfying meal to go. The kebab is most popular among drunk students, but I can confirm that it's delicious to those of us to swear by sobreity as well. So come visit me in France, I'll take you out for a kebab and fries!
