now these things can be very hit or miss - much the same as kebabs in the uk where one runs the risk of being served up sliced dog or cat covered in chilli sauce.

however, after a hard day and night smoking i find it very hard to resist the delights of the shop next to chiquito's sex shop on warmoestraat. nice staff, open very late, meat which actually seems to be lamb and 3 different pots of sauce to take back to the hotel. SO GOOD THEY CAN EVEN BE EATEN SOBER!

any other tips on where to find the best spicy meat sarnie?

When I saw the topic but before I opened it, I was going to mention this place, too. I agree with you: they seem to be one of the better ones, although I can't say I've been to all that many, I go back here because I know it's solid.
As a side note, I had a very surreal, angst filled meal there the night of 9-11-01. It was rainy and the RLD was relatively deserted. To paraphrase the song, I never want to feel again like I did that day.

Off topic, but interesting (to me at least). Here are the full lyrics to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers song, "Under the Bridge". It is as if it were written for that rainy, lonely night in Amsterdam on 9-11. I never realized:

Sometimes I feel
Like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angels
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I drive on her streets
'Cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills
'Cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
And she kisses me windy
I never worry
Now that is a lie

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

It's hard to believe
That there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe
That I'm all alone
At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all that way

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away

(Sorry for the self-indulgence. Back to "Shoarma Talk")

that song is about hiting an all time low doing heroin under a bridge in LA... interesting how it could relate back.

anyway... i don't eat shoarama but if the falafel is as good as the shoarama i like the place NEXT to the Toby place on the road the runs by Royal Wing of the Kras on the way to Dam Square. Yumz! Service is really good too!

luther - that is indeed a very beautiful tune but i'd never studied the lyrics . they look kinda eerie when written down like that but also beautiful and apt (though not necessarily to shoarama!)

got a lot of time for kiedis and the boys as it goes - any band who perform on stage wearing nowt but socks on their cocks get my vote!


don't worry about going off on a slight tangent my friend - just keep living the dream! (and i'm jealous as fuck).



anyway, back to shoarama recommendations.............;-)
