had swarma last night, very very tasty - I stared on an empty stomach, and had maybe a tablespoon full, chewed well and immitidatly started to slime and had to vomit. so, I would say that this takes the prize - this is the absolute worst food for me.

how about you?

What is a Swarma and why would you eat something called "Swarma"??? LOL:wink2:

sort of like gyros, meat on a vertical spit carmalized by a fire on the side and then sliced into little fragments. while gyros are usually moist, good swarma is usually dry, which seems to have been the problem.

I had no idea-LOL

That is just too bad if it's something you usually enjoy...

Stay away from the Swarma! LOL :cry_smile:

Mmmmmm...swarma!

What do you mean you started to slime???? I have had my band 3 weeks tomorrow and have done very well, but I want to know what it means to slime because I don't want to do it, I'm sure of that. How can I prevent this disgusting thing from happening?:cry_smile:

I have no idea what a gyro is either? You americans and your wierd names for food :-)

I am assuming its like a Doner Kebab? That meat is pretty iffy at the best of times - I never like to think how long its been on the spit.

Sunshinesusie,

When I slime, it's like a huge slimey burp "bubble" - it's the weirdest thing! When your band says No! it means No! in the most disgusting ways sometimes lol.

Ooooohhhh, SHAWARMA.

I was confused by swarma. I have problems with it dry as well. But slathered with a little garlic paste or tahini or hummus or baba it goes down well.

Shawarma ({{lang-ar|شاورما}, also spelled Chawarma, Shwarma, Shuarma, Shawerma, Shoarma or Shaorma) is a Middle Eastern-style sandwich usually composed of shaved lamb, goat, or chicken. Less commonly, it contains turkey, beef, or a mixture of meats. Shawarma is a popular dish and fast-food staple across the Middle East, and is consumed across the rest of the world as well. Shawarma is known as guss in Iraq; it is related to the gyros of Greece. Gyros, however, is typically made of pork meat, or less commonly chicken, although beef or lamb is usually used outside Greece and Cyprus. The classic shawarma combination is pita bread, hummus, tomato & cucumber, and of course the shawarma. The additional toppings include tahini and amba.

The name shawarma (pronounced SHWAR-muh) comes from the Turkish word çevirme (IPA: [tʃevir'me]), meaning turning, and has its origins in Anatolia. It is quite similar to döner kebab in Turkey (for which it is another name - turning roast), though differing from it in the type of meat and spices used. The composition of the salad can be quite different as well.
