I might never have another kebab again! I seriously never thought i'd say that. I must of had my first doner from a little kebab van outside the cinema in Maidenhead about 20 years ago and i've always loved them. We've all had them, normally under the influence of alcohol. It's probably the best way, 'cause you can't taste them but you sure can the next morning tho! Hate that chilli sauce breath thing when you wake up. Not good! But they do satisfy the munchies late night.

Or more, they did, until I read an article in the paper about them. Are you ready for this.........
One kebab contains the equivolent of a wine glass full of cooking oil!! Imagine drinking that. 111 grammes of fat! Which is twice the recommended daily amount. Makes a Big Mac meal look healthy. Now just trying to work out how many glasses of fat i've drunk over the last 20 years? Maybe they should have to put the "fat content" on all take away foods as well. Then again, you'd probably misread it for 11.1 g of fat when you bought the kebab after the pub, and happily order chips on the side too, furring up your arteries as you ate.

Oh no, what can we eat late night that's not so bad? Salad in pitta.....na. Pointless. Pitta bread was made for doner meat. And hummus, but only during the day. Open to suggestions here ..........
