No, but turkey drumsticks for $1.99 a kilo isn't a bad buy, is it?
Depends if you like turkey. :p

I remember my mum buying a kilo of turkey drumsticks one day when i was younger and them being huge but they had little flavour and were incredibly tough.

I do love marinated bbq chicken wings though. :thumbsu:

Does anyone else here remember turkey bacon and turkey schnitzel?
Remember? Turkey and Beef bacon everywhere here.
Just not the same as the real thing.
Fortunately there are lots of places licensed to cook and sell pork here as well.

Another take on Brexit - this makes me sad:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/24/young-angry-eu-referendum

The younger generation has lost the right to live and work in 27 other countries. We will never know the full extent of lost opportunities, friendships, marriages and experiences we will be denied.

That's all a bit dramatic.

Everyone in Europe hates the ****ing poms anyway.

Oh Dylan, have you never watched Fat Pizza?
I employed Kiwi Kev for a while and Dazza (jabba) lives just around the corner from me.

Both really good blokes. Jabba always acknowledges my Ween t-shirts. He tells a very funny story of when he interviewed them.

The yirosouvabab debate is even better than the parmy/parma debate.

Yiros is the correct answer btw, but both souvs and kebabs usually end up in pita as well
I've always known them as yiros. Kebabs I originally knew as shish-kebabs: on a stick like shaslicks. I thought it odd that yiros were called kebabs when I visited Melbourne years ago but decided they must have been the Turkish equivalent of yiros. Now Google/Wikipedia tell me they're all pretty much variations of the same thing - makes sense. I'll have to try cooking the meat on a sword sometime;).

Would be incredibly ironic if the vote to leave, which was sold as a vote for British national identity, results in the UK being broken up through Scottish independence and Irish reunification. This would mean that the Union Jack, the much loved symbol of Britishness, technically becomes invalid as it is made up of combined insignia from the three main regions; England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Scotland should stay in the UK for one reason and one reason only. The union jack looks terrible without St Andrew's cross:

Souvla is Greek for skewer, it's the full lamb (or sliced) on the spit. Souvlaki is just a small skewer.

So there is souvla meat inside a yiros, but you don't call a pie "beef" do ya?

Edit: Kebab is correct for Turkish/Lebanese versions, only a Shish Kebab is exclusively the skewered meat.

Perhaps, but the demographics of the vote is very interesting. Young people, those that voted at least, who have the longest to live with the consequences, overwhelmingly voted to stay. Boomers, who have benefited for the better part of their lives, to leave. I could look at that if it effected me and think it's selfish.

Damo this is a real sliding doors moment.
