I hope you enjoyed your doner yesterday Punkfolkrocker. So far as your cholesterol levels and blood pressure issues are concerned however, a King Size Doner with Chips is probably the worst thing on the menu, you should go for the flame grilled chicken instead :)

"Food standards officers who analysed nearly 500 kebabs to check meat content, labelling and nutritional value found "shocking" levels of fat and salt, inaccurate labelling of meat and, on average, enough calories to provide half a woman's recommended daily intake. ...
The results of the checks on 494 kebabs in pitta bread, collected for 76 local authorities, were revealed by Lacors, their national regulatory body. The average kebab contained almost 6g of salt – the recommended daily limit set by the Food Standards Agency – as well as huge amounts of saturated fat and nearly 1,000 calories.
   Some examples contained 1,990 calories, nearly a woman's recommended daily intake, 70g of saturated fat, which is three and half times the women's daily guideline amount, and 16.5g of salt. Five of the 10 most unhealthy kebabs in the study came from south-west England."

This morning (yes, 7 am on a Sunday morning - I'm also boiling up a batch of cannellini beans for next week) I'm watching this: The Starch Solution - John McDougall MD
