Where are the green things?
Cucumber as the dish is Tsaziki.
I know, that’s like 5g of vegetables with 100g of saturated fat on the tray. This is a very unhealthy menu.
Sorry, I’ve read ‘what’ instead of ‘where’.
OP probably decided against the green things.
I hope OP stays healthy

Does it? Not 1 single green thing in sight? For a work cafeteria I would hope for a balanced meal.
Edit: my bad, the pool of cream has some green bits in it, so it’s technically a salad. Carry on.

Yes, it is onion and yes, it is some veggie because onions are vegetables 😀

If you can’t recognize a fucking onion im sure your diet is perfect.

Purple cabbage. And it does look similar

Ah, here in the US it’s often used as a garnish to add a pop of color
I don’t think that’s what “quality” means here. It refers to the competence with which the food is executed.
Fair enough
I don’t recognize the main dish or dessert – beyond being some sort of pudding presumably with blueberries and something else on top.
What are they called?
Main dish is probably a gyros
That depends on whether you are Greece (call it gyros) or Turkish (call it kebap) or whether you want to risk a fight (calling it gyros in front of Turkish people or vice versa).
The way it’s served here matches what I’ve had at greek fast food places in Germany
Username checks out. Hmm Zwiebeln!
With a Döner plate usually mixed salad is served and the yoghurt dressing would be on top of the Kebap meat. With a Gyros plate usually Tsaziki and coleslaw are served.
The things on top of the pudding look like decorative fake coffee beans made out of coffee flavoured chocolate. I’d be willing to take bets that the pudding is also coffee flavoured to stick with the theme.
The mainndish is just kebab meat with some salad with tons of Mayo and some slices of onion
That’s not mayo, that’s tzatziki
Damn, the weird sauce that always catfishes me as Mayo catfished me again!
Germany is way too liberal in what they call a “salad”
Nobody in Germany would call this a salad, though.
This, on the other hand
or this…
Apparently not Mayo, yogurt with a sprinkle of random veggies. It’s tzatziki
yogurt with a sprinkle of random veggies
Don’t let Greeks or Turks hear that.
You need yoghurt, the heavy stuff with 10% fat, olive oil, garlic, cucumber, pepper, and salt. Nothing else. No, no dill, no mint (WTF?), no nothing.
Julienne the cucumber. Very fine is better than fine as long as you’re not producing mush. Salt it, let it stand for 10 minutes, then squeeze dry, toss the water. Add yoghurt, should be about two to three parts of yoghurt for one part cucumbers, by volume, don’t sweat it. Take about a clove for 500g of yoghurt (that’s a clove, not a bulb, yes it’s quite little, but it’s raw and it’s going to infuse), surgically remove the sprout (that’s where the nasty stuff is in garlic), chop finely. I said chop, not squeeze, yes it makes a difference. Add with pepper and salt and some olive oil, put in the fridge for at least one hour better a day, well covered (closed container is good, cling film if you have to), mix again and do final taste and consistency adjustment with pepper, salt and olive oil. Pepper should be subtle AF, supporting the garlic, not supplanting it.
…it’s absolutely fine to do other yoghurt sauces and in fact in Germany you’ll see three or four at any Döner shop, but don’t call the non-tsasiki tsatsiki, please. If you want a herb sauce, call it herb sauce. There’s no herbs in tsatsiki. (Sauces differ regionally in Germany – there’s always going to be tsatsiki, around here you also generally get curry, hot or mild, as well as cocktail sauce (no, not mayo based, it’s still yoghurt)).
Oh I couldn’t call any non tsatsiki sauce tsatsiki, since I actually hate it (sorry Greeks or Turks), that would actually be an insult to the sauce. :P
I make tzatziki, an that, it is not.
With is basically a kebab sandwich menu, minus thé bread and a few veggetables.
Choc / Caramel Mousse
Is your employer not subsidizing it? Its a common practice in austria. 8€ was the price people outside the company had to pay but we only payed like 3€. Also at a large industrial factory.
Germany used to treat its workers well, too, but that was 40 years ago. Since then it has been going down the drain, thanks to a certain former working class party selling out their core voters to big business.
That’s also how I know it from Germany (Siemens, SEW, BASF)
That’s like serving a hamburger patty beside a slice of cheese and a squirt of ketchup, with the bun on a separate plate.
Döner Kebab in bread is a much more recent invention than the same thing on a plate. Traditionally you’d get rice dunno how it’s in Turkey but in Germany there’s generally a choice of rice or fries.
Thus what you’re looking at is a Dönerteller mit Pommes, arguably a very sorry one. Technically the salad is present, in practice, no, salad generally consists of more than just onion. You can order “Nur Zwiebel” instead of “Mit Alles” but they’re going to feel sorry for you.
Depending on the meat it could be considered a Gyros especially with the Zaziki
Mit pommes frites should be on the pommes frites. The whole thing belongs in one mess of a bowl. Deconstructing a kebab like this is a travesty.
That looks good!
I’d miss some salad, e.g coleslaw.
We need a bot to tag posts pertaining to German food as nsfw. I do not thank you, OP.
You can open your eyes again

Very reasonable, that is basically what you will pay for a similar meal here in South Africa.
