Most UK supermarkets were selling horsemeat as beef up until just a few years ago.
Yeah he really thought he was on to something until the guy testing the meat said fortunately no horse meat or donkey.
So I would say the moral of the story is.....
Go to run down shop expect run down meat!
@@3-Kashmir Nothing wrong with horse meat. Before we knew we eating it, it tasted fine.
Horse is actually one of the healthiest red meats. Kangaroo is the healthiest dark meat on the planet

Horse meat is amazing. I'd pay extra for horse.
I always assumed it was a 50/50 dog/pigeon split lol put away hundreds

Donor kebabs are relatively safe. I did biochemistry at uni. As part of a practical, we tested sausages from common supermarkets. The results were an eye opener … we detected horse meat and rabbit in what should have been 100% beef (or pork) products. This was back in 1999 before the findus horse meat scandal
did you test for human dna? that would have opened your eyes!

Love to see them do something on fluoride in the industry
Fluoride is a bi product of fertiliser. Erm no I mean sorry it’s good for your teeth and doesn’t keep society dumbed down or anything like that.
you know fluoride is actually good for ur teeth right? fluoride occurs naturally, people think fluoride is bad and all this B.S but without it ur teeth would be fkd
They never will people would go mad
Ha , never going to happen. A known neurotoxin and people defend it
Flouride is safe in small quantities
I don't care what it is made of - as long as all the ingredients are honestly listed so I can make an informed choice.
You smh 🤦♂️ zombie no that's the point they're not doing that duh
😂😂😂 When did you last see a Doner Kebab with ingredients listed? They don't list what's in them at any of these "Fast Food" joints.
Well you obviously do care then because why would you need a list of ingredients to decide whether or not to eat it?
When councils tested them up & down the land years ago the overwhelming majority contained meat of unknown origin because whatever meat it was wasn't tested for , not eaten one since as we're being taken for a ride as usual
@@garyk1334 Google it and this is not the case. The councisl targeted suppliers which already had compliance issues, and found that a fifth of them had meat which was not on the label - but not meat of unknown origin. So it may have had beef or pork, when that was not on the label - for instance the label said lamb only.
Kebab shops will just buy from the cheapest supplier- so it’s likely to contain crap. Then charge the drunk £12+ now. Back in my day doner wraps used to be £5!
Can get a kebab meal deal in the north for £5 still. Nice as well!

Weird that the council guy said it had to be Lamb only to be classed as doner, despite the definition of doner being meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie.
You literally get chicken doner aswell.
If anyone remembers Bottom with Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson there is an episode ( I think a Hammersmith riot is mentioned? Anyway they ring the local kebab house and ask if he needs any meet only to be told he’s ok for meat as his Alsatian got run over this morning.🤣

It's ok mate slug kebab

I thought to see a familliar format and indeed; this program is the British version a Dutch one. They did the same in Amsterdam where out of the 10 samples also only one was pure lamb and one even was pure pork. Lamb döner was ordered and all restaurants stated it was lamb.
Whatever they may say about emulsification, the kebab shown as an example near the beginning looks like red processed blobs being put on the skewer. I've seen video from the East where kebabs are being built up in far more pieces with much more elaborate skill with what looks like bits of real meat. Much less processed in appearance.
Yes I have seen that too, the British donner meat is krap in comparison.
I grew up in Turkey and worked at Kebab shops in Turkey . The best doner kebab I have tasted only in Turkey. I have visited so many countries I could not find the right doner in other countries. In Uk absolutely taste is totally different. I can’t say it’s a doner Kebab
99 percent of the kebabs sold in this country are by Turkish people so who's to blame?
@@un_ubcribed99%?
Obviously you're talking utter nonsense.
But you do you....
Best kebab I ever had was from Turkey have to admit
I confirm that. I ate 8 kebabs in Istanbul for half day cause they were delicious! They were looking like thin pipes filled with real meat, garlic sauce, tomatoes and onions I think! In UK they are indeed being made by Turkish people but UK meat is a bit questionable and it's just not that good. I've only managed to eat 2 kebabs in UK! Not that into it in UK.
Berlin was the only place I had donners that where as good as Istanbul.
I need a Kebab after watching this!
Old doner in the early 90s were the best, you could tell it was pure lamb just by the taste and texture, now it's all mechanical recovered meat and leftovers.
You could tell it proper doner kebab back then because it would leave a particular taste at the top of your mouth. Early 2000s was probably the last time I remember kebabs being decent
Yes, agree, it's all mushyfied meat now, and I also miss doner being cut with knifes instead of the awful machine.@@ov9322

If you want traditional Turkish diner kebabs you NEED to go Green Lanes in Harringey London… trust me you won’t be disappointed
yep its bbq heaven any night of the week
What time you close tonight boss???
Be disappointed with the extortionate price
I had traditional doner in Anatalya and it is next level deliciousness
I'd say Edmonton now has the edge over Harringey as they cater mostly to Turks
I used to eat Döner kebabs regularly, throughout the late eighties to early 2000’s but stopped eating it approximately 6yrs ago as the quality of the meat was declining over the previous 10yrs! …..more and more kebab shops were opening up in fierce competition with each other, which subsequently meant profit became more important than quality!
You just don't know a good kebab shop
Doner simply means turning and Kebab means BBQed. In Turkey you can get lamb or beef or even chicken Döner but lamb is my favorite
You are right the quality now is now rubbish, I had my first kebab in the early 90s and it was so much better back then. A lot of Turks in my city have left and it’s takeaways have been replaced replaced by Iraqis, Syrians and kurds not the same quality, cheap crap and expensive now.
@@ov9322all drug dealers, money launderers
Originally Doner kebab made from beef . If you go Türkiye ask what is it inside . This is Turkish people and Lebanese brought this dish in Uk. But in Uk Doner kebab changes characteristics taste and texture a lot more than what should be the original Doner Kebab
I bet that Kebab he ate at the end was from the place which had only lamb in the elephant foot.
I'm fairly certain that he went to The Best Turkish kebab on Stokenewington Rd.
Watched a Hairy Bikers episode, where by they went and made a traditional kebab. Looked alot better than anything you would see in a kebab shop
In Manchester a few years ago on the curry mile in Rusholme, Manchester, a bag containing cats heads was found in the back alley behind the restaurants. Look it up & you will find the news article.

Years ago i saw food standards tested multiple uk locations for was it lamb beef chicken etc they found "mystery" meat which was none of these in most kebabs tested
In the Maritime Provinces of Canada (Nova Scotia and New Brunswick particularly), we have Donairs, which are similar but differ in the sauce and other ingredients put in the pita with the meat. Like Doners in the UK in Europe, they are a staple of late-night, post-drinking, street-corner food. They are delicious, mostly because of the sauce, which was invented in Canada by Lebanese immigrants.
As featured by BeardMeetsFood
It was a Greek guy.
In Greece call them gyros which is marinated chicken with lemon,garlic,oregano,paprika, olive oil salt and pepper and cooked on a barbecue and its wrapped in pita bread sometimes with chips, if you have the same dish but on a plate its called souvlaki,im sure this was around before the donner as it is called in Berlin where the first Turkish man took it to less than 70 years ago,the souvlaki which can be made up of pork or and chicken is different from the donner which is mostly lamb chicken and mix,I must admit after eating kebbabs all over europe and other places,Berlin does the donner the best but the original souvlaki from Greece is far superior and much more healthier to eat and with the cheese, crete feta cheese added is superior,the Greek yogurt tsaziki is also greek and its also in the mix,greek olive oil too,the combination is the best,it's much different to the donner what people don't realise is when the turks had brought the donner to Berlin, the Greeks had already been doing it for 100s of years probably thousands,its like the Turkish coffee and the Greek coffee,the difference is the Turkish coffee comes with lots of sugar and its more of a dessert where as Greek coffee comes with no sugar and its healthier and is always served with cold mineral water,The first döner kebab in a sandwich form is said to have appeared in Istanbul in the mid-1960s, but it was in Germany in the 1970s that it was developed into the distinctive Döner that we know and love today - a sandwich of salad, roasted vegetables and sauces topped with thinly-sliced meat,There is evidence that souvlaki-like dishes existed in Greece as early as the 17th Century BCE. Stone tools similar to modern-day barbecue skewers have been found on the island of Santorini, which provides proof that spit-roasted meat has been enjoyed by Greeks for hundreds of years,the Lebanese probably been doing this thing for 5,000 years and the Greeks have been doing this thing for around 7,000 years so I would say the Greeks originally found this way of cooking meats 2000 years before anybody else on fhe whole planet

If you want 100% of a specific meat either chicken or lamb doner then only go to a restaurant that serves Yaprak Doner. It translates as leaf doner, the cut gives you smaller pieces instead of the long strip of meat but you are guaranteed the meat you want as its made in-house. They basically stack thin,leafs of meat over each other a bit like how they do in this documentary but here it was more blobs of meat they compress to form the industrial doners. Anyway, contrary to popular belief doner is actually a Kurdish invention, throwing that trivia out there in case it pops up as an entry question at the gates of heaven.
Get a shawarma, you will know what meat is being used
Yes and Kebab is a turkish word , we say Souvlakia but yes the yoprak is much better bit like our Gyros . I love turkish food too but Kurdish cooking is to me similar to Greek Cypriot food , bit more delicate. Good shout mate .
2:33 Only use what? Why blank the audio, did they ask you to or did you find other meats?
There was another video, and it said that they only Use lamb
What’s amazing no matter where you go they all taste roughly the same🤤
i honestly like doner meat with a bit of beef in it tbh.
my personal best place told me they make it in house and use lamb and beef. legit easy to tell they make it themselves and its banging.
These men in lab coats probably have never ever had a chap ask them "Chilli Sauce Boss?" before, so I doubt they're qualified to make non-emperical assessments of what we wish to eat.
If you're in Blackpool it's Charlene Downes your eating.
20yrs ago, I was delivering a couple of pallets of burgers to a warehouse in Leicester. What I saw put me off kebabs for a fair while. Guy's overalls were covered in crap & blood, his hands too, while he patter what I can only describe as 'pate' onto a thick skewer. It might have looked fine by time he'd finished, but I was never going to eat it.
Im not watching this until after Christmas, I've got a few weekends planned and i need a kebab after a sesh, before the diet starts in Jan 😂
The takeaways cover up rotten meat by mixing it in spices and loads of salt.
@ 1:32 it looked like that guy had a cut on the palm of his hand, then at 1:34 you can see blood on his finger, yet none of the meat they'd been handling was bloody
It's not going to be noticeably bloody as the blood isn't flowing, you might get a small amount. The more alarming thing is he's got a cut with blood, and this could spread blood bourne infections
@@mohammedqasim7147 Indeed, i imagine he got the place all nice clean and tidy as a film crew were coming in yet failed to take the precaution of wearing gloves to cover his cut hands 🤮
Even if I could overlook the rubbish mixed in with the meat the fact that these meats are heated and cooled many many times bother me. It can't be safe
Looks delicious 😋
Just like fast food burgers, it's mystery meat.
I live in Bradford, shame they can't test for rats.
Depends on where you buy it ...normally after a few paints when anything tastes good
Love a few paints on a Friday night
I’ll eat anything after a couple of litres of satin finish and a few emulsion shots
Wow! I now know what I'm eating tonight 😅
Doesn't the skin added between the layers affect the texture
🤮😳🤮🤣
It's not a surprise though is it really with a lot of these kebab places.
I work in whole sale supplying donner meat and the 5 brands we would had around 38% chicken and 20% lamb
The thing I really like about doner kebab is the meat is heated up and left to cool down and the process is repeated day after day.
I can almost taste the salmanella just thinking about it.
@@omgwatthehell I stand corrected.
In new York apparently the y have to cut it off and Pan fry it for 3 minutes by law because too many cases of food poisoning
Theres no salmonella there lmao. The meat is cooked before you eat it
@@omgwatthehell Salmon-Ella-Re, the Greek version
@@topsunnn the meat is cooked 'several' times (and left to cool several times) before you eat it.
I may be wrong about the 'type' of food poisoning, but if you reheat meat again and again you're asking for trouble.

From my experience in Turkey the doner kebabs where of beef, i couldn't find any lamb doner.
I mean it really depends on what kind of Doner you eat , this is whats kalled Kiyma kebab its made out of minced meat . You also have kebab made with stacks of cuts of meat that doesnt contain ground meat
What ever is in them I love a Kebab & the salad even makes them more tastier, Wont put me off but a very interesting report.
Damn, I’m all hungry now
I'd love to know who makes the lamb only kebab. I like the Lamb Kofte Kebab, and in the past I know I have not been eating just lamb. Used to like Gregg's sausage rolls, until one day down Kingsway I purchased a couple and felt lucky they were piping hot, offten they are not. Got out the takeaway and munched into the first one ...... Chicken !! Rotten Chicken too, it went straight in the bin and I have not touched them again ever, I used to love those !!! Someone once told me that Pork pies are toungues, cheeks and gums ! I still eat them though ! Its Russian Roulette here in Blighty !!!

@@OdinzEinherjar haha that’s true, no point really but a lot of people do it on the weekends
This is important to know often these Kebab shops people tell people it's Lamb but in reality contains beef and pork too. We might not care what its made of but still should be able to make informed decisions and they should punish these people who just add random stuff.
I always wondered how I managed to get food poisoning from something that's made of lamb. It must have been the chicken in it that was undercooked.
Just makes me hungry!

@@philipedschWell they do. The problem is people think it's a miracle elixir that will make you fit 😂
Most people, who eat lamb, won't mind a bit of beef or chicken either. Could be a lot worse, like cats or dogs. Or rat. :)

EVERYTHING!
We had a livestock market near us and it was common practice for any sheep that were I’ll or diseased and unfit for auction would be bought by donner kebab makers
I ate a lot of doner kebab in Germany.I had no idea it would be as scandalous as burgers.
Germany is different, donner in UK is a mix of everything cheap
Same here, on my stag do in Dortmund. Love the fact that you could get beef doners out there. They were delicious!
Germany is much better for kebabs, they have a massive Turkish population which probably why.
I remember the scandal when they looked into the food supply and discovered just how much past the best by meat was recycled into processed food for Europe
That and meat was never what it said. Horse meat and all sorts was found in things like beef burgers. People seem to have just forgotten that massive scandal 😂

shish is the way forward
i dunno what meat is in my local kebab place but it looks a dozen times better then the paste that was shown in this vid. they use real slices of meat and they make it themselves. i always took the quality for granted but i have never had better kebab then at my local kebab shop. i am from the netherlands tho so we might have different standards.

They should test the kebabs in Blackpool, their meat didn't seem right 😂
If you want the perfect doner, the meat must be dark and achieve caramelisation, a sticky outer glaze, this is the sign of a majority good quality lamb. If it’s pale and over salty, it’s probably cheap miscellaneous meats mixed in with too much rusk and additives. Look out for those dark glazed doners in the window, that’s what you want.
They’re tasty delicious and addictive!!
No they arn't!!! 🤔🙄😖

Introducing chicken surely creates an additional risk of salmonella, I dread to think how inappropriately these things are stored and reheated already.
