Do you like shawarma?

(Lamb) Shwarma in laffe(also called iraqi pitta) is the real deal. It`s the ultimate food for men.
One time I was out with my friend and we could not find a shwarma place that was open. We were very upset, and he said something along the lines of - shwarma is his masculinity!
There`s certainly something in the male personality that drives one to feel so content and satisfied with all that meat.. (unfortunately, shwarmas in london have recently got smaller. shwarma in laffe is no longer filling, which is a big dissapointment. But it is still the best portion and quality for the money)
One time I was talking to a non-jewish friend about where we could both eat.. what kosher place. So I gave him the lowdown, "this place the portions are rubbish, so forget it". "the portions are alright.". "this place the portions are the best, and the shwarma is decent. I think we should go there"
He burst out laughing, and said that he had recently listened to Jackie Mason live. And he said that when jews talk about eating out, the first and main and only thing they talk about is the portion!
He then told me how Jackie Mason went on to complain about how in chinese places you hardly get any food, you just get a plate!
Before shwarmas came - with the proliferation of israeli restaurants - . I used to just have beef burgers. But shwarmas are much better. Simply because you get more meat for the price. Better than paying for 3 burgers! (even when I was a skinny 10 year old kid,, I needed at least 2 burgers!)
And with burgers it is part scam, you are eating as much bread as you eat meat.
With shwarmas, you get all meat.
I used to just have meat, and hummus.. Just because I loved all the meat. But sometimes they give you the same amount of meat anyway even if you have other stuff in there. Nowadays I have it with hummus, techina, mushroom, aubergine, (aubergine is controversial!). I don`t do salad, that just takes up too mcuh space.. I fear they will put less meat in.
Girls tend not to be able to have a shwarma in laffe. Not just its size, they don`t seem to like all the meat.. I have seen them have it in pita though.
Man seems to have a meat drive!

Try to search in the Turkish immigrants areas in Germany.
q_q_:
there is shwarma and there is shwarma.
I think only jewish places call it shwarma. Non jewish places just call them Kebabs.
A non jewish friend told me that the meat in the shwarma at the kosher places, is better than the Hallal places which is better than the regular places. So regular places are the worst.
A jewish american/canadian friend told me that shwarma is hardly available in america. (or maybe it is but not as good as in london).. Golders Green in London has lots and lots of shwarma places.
