[SEL] OT: Shoarma meals during EHOWT

[Best, George]

 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_Netherlands.svg>  Netherlands<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands>: In the Netherlands<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands>, shawarma (shoarma) is a popular meal, especially after a night out. Here it is served as pork, chicken, beef or lamb combined with salad and garlic sauce. It is usually served with French Fries (friet or patat) and can be bought from many places, including the local snackbars. It is generally served with pitã bread, which is cut open and the meat is placed inside. This is called Broodje Shoarma (small bread with shoarma) although can be served in larger portions without bread. Dutch Shoarma is not produced as described in the method above - spit roasted, but is pre diced lamb or pork that is then grilled or fried, or a combination of both.

Actually, we didn't have it every night, contrary to what Steve said ;-)

First night at Eindhoven we wandered around looking for a restaurant I have eaten at in the past.  We couldn't find it, but found another neighborhood restaurant that served shoarma.   It was pretty good and possibly better than the one we were searching for.

We did try for shoarma one night in Harry's home town, but they had sold out by the time we arrived and had to have something else.

The last night of the tour we had actually planned on going to the pancake ship in Leeuwarden, but the group started the shoarma chant so we decided to return to the local restaurant hoping they were not sold out.  They were not, so most of us had a shoarma meal the last night.

Steve didn't mention that he didn't have shoarma, but had the spareribs which were quite tasty.  Better than the ones he had in Belgium.

George,

    It seems you were traveling with a rough bunch...... bread thieves, hotel breaking and entering...... partying with the world cup field hockey super girls all night. The only thing worse was having to eat that Shworma every night and guzzling that Belgian ale!  All in all though I'd give at at least a 101 out of 100 road trip score. Maybe I,ll get all 6,000 photos posted by next week..... or at least by the time Arnie finishes the Benz/Lorenz registry!  Thanks guys for a great trip, Absolutely the finest road trip on earth,    Steve.... the Good Cloistered Oyster Brother
