Turkish Fast Food

Unfortunately Turkey has its share of McDonald's and Burger King, but overall the quickest, cheapest and most popular fast food is a Doner.  The Doner is a sandwich made with either chicken or meat (usually lamb) that is cooked on a giant kebab, pictured below.  When an Doner is ordered, the man will take out a knife and thinly shave the outside of the kebab.  The meat is put in bread, along with pickles, tomatoes and sometimes french fries and lettuce.


In the non-tourist part of town, Doner's will usually cost 2 or 3 lira ($1.50 to $2 US).  It is a quick and cheap meal or snack that you can find no matter what part of town you are in.

Below are some pictures of a Doner, along with a couple of other pictures of what the shops look like that sell them.
