Post #10: Kebab

One word, Kebab!  Kebab is the best food in the whole wide world!  Kebab is not a "Finnish" food but it is all over the country and Europe for that matter.  I was first introduced to kebab when I went to France with my parents when I was seventeen.  I was instantly in love and was very sad to leave because there would be no more kebab.  Well fast forward nearly 3 years to when I got my call to Finland!  Fortunately I knew enough about Finland to know that it was in northern Europe and the first thing I needed to know was whether or not they had kebab.  Gratefully they did!  The kebab in Finland is a little different than that which I had in France, but it is just as delectable.  The kebab shops in Finland are mostly run by Turks.  Kebab is usually made up of a mixture of lamb and beef.  It comes on a big skewer which is rotated next to a heat source.  The meet slowly browns and when it is ready it is shaved off of the skewer.  Here is a picture to help with the visual.  It is then served in many different ways.  I have two favorite ways to eat kebab.  The first is rullakebab which is kebab with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and sauce rolled up in flat bread.  The second is kebabranskallisilla, which is kebab on top of French fries smothered in the special kebab sauce and some salad on the side.  You can also order pizza at most kebab shops, though it is not like the pizza that you are thinking about.  The pizza there is huge, but has very thin crust.  All in all if you are looking for some amazing food you cant go wrong with kebab.  And if you don't believe me you can go try some yourself at the King Kebab which is located in the Prove Town Center mall food court. Their rullakebab goes under the alias of shwarma but is pretty close to the real thing,  And you can see for yourself how the meet is cooked.  Please go and check it out!  You will not be disappointed!
