Get Some Air Conditioning!!

I stayed at Hotel Turia last night just for some nice cool AC and a TV to watch. The AC sucked and barely kept the room cool. No English stations which was fine since Im here to learn the language. And at least I had a shower hwre I didn't have to hold the sprayer while trying to shower. The hotel is only about a 15 min walk but next time, I'll pay a little more and get a room with COLD air.

Since the mall is next to the hotel I went there for dinner. I had a dish I saw on the Gordon Ramsey show called "The F Word" . The meal is a Donar Kebab. It's not exactly a kebab as we would think of it. The Donar Kebab meat is assembled like the meat used in a gyro if you have ever seen those large conical shaped meats on a verticle rottissorie (sp). These are very popular all over Europe, especially in the UK. In order to be called a Dnar Kebab as opposed to just a Kebab the meat must be prepared a certain way and must have a certain ratio of ingredients. There is a special inspection process used in England to ensure quality. According to the food critic on the Ramsey show, this is a late night drunk food in the UK. Similar to our Krystal Burgers.

So the meat is shaved off of the larger portion and placed in a large flour tortilla then they add lettuce, onion, tomato and a thin white sauce and optionally you can ask for a sauce picante which is a spicy thin red sauce. All in all it was OK. Id rather have a Gyro. Plus, Im not sure if it was the sandwich, but this morning I made about 5 trips to the reading room.
