Is there a thriving underground food scene in
your town?

I'm not sure what you mean by underground. Unlicensed and
uninspected out of home kitchens? Cash only, no tax, under the
table? Or funky millennial places like the hipster coffee shop
serving fair trade organic brew, vegetarian food and curries along
with art displays and retro cool jazz and where all the furniture
was rescued from the dump?

Thinking (from deeper to shallower) home kitchens with
respected cooks and reservations lists made weeks in
advance; storefront popups; food trucks; and perhaps restaurants-within-a-restaurant.

Funky counterculture unestablishments, those are way
above ground as far as I am concerned. Not that one
doesn't want to squash most of them, like whack-a-mole,
but they're certainly present enough and accountable for.

Unregulated and untaxed but semipublic, that might be
interesting to locals but unlikely to be experienced by
me, unless you were willing to share a secret. But since
if I show up there again, it's most likely to be with
the culinarily unadventurous Lilli, that diminishes the
appeal and practicality of nonmainstream eating..

Title: Authentic Turkish Doner Kebab
1 ts plain flour
1 ts dried oregano
1/2 ts dried Italian herbs
1/2 ts garlic powder
1/2 ts onion powder
1/4 ts cayenne pepper
1/2 ts salt
1/4 ts ground black pepper
500 g minced lamb

What's wrong with fresh garlic and fresh onion?
And plenty of them. I'd use a bit more cayenne.
Also, where's the cumin?

Freezing tip: Great to make in advance, slice and freeze.

Maybe, but I'd freeze the meatloaf whole
and shave it before reheating.

Other ideas: Also great to add as a topping for pizzas.

No. Just no. You end up with shrivelled curled
mystery meat that you wish were pork sausage, so
there's disappointment in every bite.

Measures are approximate. Mix all together well.
