  • The name shāwarmā in Arabic is a rendering of the term çevirme in Ottoman Turkish (چيويرمى [tʃeviɾˈme], lit. ‘turning; hence, roughly synonymous to döner in this context’), referring to rotisserie.>

    So maybe it depends whose version of shawarma you’ve had. All the ones I’ve seen so far (in different European countries) have been with rotisserie /doner kebab.

    Names seem interchangeable in many places, in my experience. When I was a kid the difference between kebab and shawarma used to be that one was in a bun and the other was a wrap, for some reason. The bun has been phased out, unfortunately, and now it’s only wraps everywhere.













  • Overrated in the sense that it’s not a top 30 movie? Yeah, I can definitely pick at least 50 films that I think are better. It was definitely a good film, tho. Been a long time so I don’t remember specifics, but I don’t remember it feeling like multiple films stitched together or anything. And even if it did, it could be argued that it’s an artistic decision? Since it shows different times in their lives. Hell, for most people Sunday 29th vs Monday 30th can make two vastly different movies.

    Then again, I’m not that picky about movies nor am I much of a critic so I don’t really know what I’m talking about xD
