I think its mutton rather than lamb and more the fatty cuts but still real cuts rather than mechanically reclaimed meat.

All the meat not good enough for everything else binded together by fat. I would like to see a DNA test on that pretty sure its not just Lamb.

This is what i found on Google, hope it answers your question OP !!

Broadly, its lamb and spices, but i think they can use just about any part of the lamb, and you have to wonder how hygenic it is to cook something all night in the open air, let it cool then cook it again the next day, and the next day etc. Its food russian roulette really.

I read a report by Environmental Health inspectors a while ago which had tested food from loads of kebab shops and found that on average, the most dangerous/unhealthy thing to eat is.....

the salad!

because it's raw, so no cooking to kill bacteria, and has often been touched by people who've also handled raw meat!

On another note, the best kebabs I've ever tasted by a huge, massive, yawning country mile were in Berlin - I've read that the concept of doner meat/salad/flatbread as a takeaway fast-food was invented by the sizeable turkish immigrant community there. Whatever, they were bloody gorgeous!

apparently if the kebab doesnt contain too much salt then its one of the healthiest meals you can have if you have all the salad as well from a nuitrition point of _iew . the salt content outweighs the fat content

It's often lamb belly which is why it's so greasy. But according to reports its often mixed with other cheaper meats such as pork.

trust me when I say there's alot of kebab shops that don't even refrigerate it after closing time ! I know Afew good places that actually make there own doner meat and they do use the cheaper cuts ( still better than the ones bought in as you just don't know what's in them) and once well I won't put you guys off dinner

Speaking in the catering venacular......if you knew what was in a sausage you wouldn't go near it......so there is no difference with donner meat......lips tits and bums are the usual ingredients.

Mind you heard theres a major recall of fish fingers cos they found traces of seahorses in them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not what is in them that you have to watch out for, it is the method of cooking and storage!

When I did my Food Hygiene course, we were shown a video of badly stored, part used kebab meat. Because they are left to cool overnight and reheated the next day. And because they are usually left out because to refrigerate would affect the readings on the equipment because the meat maintains heat for hours, they are a great breeding ground for flies and other insects!

Insects burrow down the inside of the meat "pole" and stay at just the right temperature for breeding. It stays that way until the meat pole is too thin to use.. You wouldn't notice the maggots in the meat once carved up, but they will be there...

Quite surprised by some of the "don't care" responses. All this furore over a little bit of horse, but here we are quite happy to each total crap because we have had a few beers!

Concerned that everyone is saying lamb, but there's a sign in my local takeaway stating that the beef in their doner meat can be traced back to farm of origin!!

I can't eat it whatever it is...tried it once and the texture made me want to barf

Quite honestly that was NOT my point! Maybe you have no concern about the whole horse issue, I don't have concerns either! But the point was just how bad the hygiene surrounding the whole Doner Kebab thing and how after a few beers, most seem to be totally unconcerned about what they are eating...

Proper Doner, SHOULD be a mixture of lamb, lamb-fat,mutton, herbs and spices. It is the shape it is because it is made up in layers, to allow the fat to travel through the meat whilst cooking and to then drain away. You struggle to find a kebab shop nowadays that has proper Doner meat, most of them are mixed with beef - they are quite open about it, but it lacks the flavour of the original. At least it's supposed to be beef.

I have been eating at least one doner a week for the last 25 years. From all sorts of takeaways. Pissed and sober. Never been ill yet. Is that my cast iron constitution or just luck?

To be honest I wasn't upset by the horse thing. I can understand people were upset that they weren't told but even if I was told there was horse in it I'd probably have eaten it still.

And I've been eating kebabs for years and I'm fine (in a not died from food poisoning perspective, not a general health perspective as I know I'm a tad 'cuddly' )

I get the point its unhealthy yes, but then I dont have one every week...

and if people are in their thousands across the country eating them a few times a week..I think they get the runs more than anything serious..if the meats as unhygienic as claimed by some..

I remember my gorgeous female spanish friend , leaving stuff overnite for the next day in the pot..she was always getting colds n feeling unwell.. great food..but I sometimes pretended I'd just eaten lol

"I think its mutton rather than lamb and more the fatty cuts but still real cuts rather than mechanically reclaimed meat. "

it is lamb and also beef. You are right about using cuts of proper meat. It is not reclaimed meat, eyes, testicles etc.

You can see it being made

There is a place near me who make them fresh everyday. They use lamb mince and herbs. They use a fresh one every day and it tastes sooooo much better than any of the mass produced stuff.

If made properly it does taste nice. But I do prefer the shish type kebabs.

It's mutton minced several times to make it into a paste then there's biscuit crumb added when it soaks in a lot of fat it gives it the solid shape for a kebab bar to hold it for cooking
