Döner Kebab v Shawarma

I'm not going to give you the entire history here (Wikipedia can provide that), but I will give you a quick summary and the consensus opinion on which is better (consensus provided by me).

While döner kebabs are more easily found in London (preferred by Turkish kebab shops, which are plentiful), shawarma's (the Arabic translation for döner kebab, are preferred by Lebanese kebab shops) are clearly superior -- they taste better, they're more easily transported, they're easier to eat.

Döner kebabs are available everywhere and they're cheap. But eating one while walking is a logistical nightmare -- even if ordered properly: small, wrapped, open, and late at night while you're wandering around aimlessly or waiting for the night bus. The pita bread is more like a taco (hard taco, in terms of coverage: 3/4) on a döner, whereas the pita bread on a shawarma is more like a burrito. You see what I'm getting at.

Another tip: if the shop is nice, go lamb; if the shop is dodgy, go chicken. Mix at your own risk.

Thanks for asking.
