The Secret is in the Sauce

If you have a craving for "junk food" in France, there are two options; McDonald's or kebabs. Yes, that's right, kebabs. Kebabs were introduced to France through the immigrants from North Africa. There is a lot of tension between the French and North Africans but we should all be grateful for the culinary contribution the North Africans have made. Kebab restaurants are found all over Lyon. They usually are not the most attractive or clean restaurants but the food is so good, I am willing to overlook the less than desirable ambiance. The best part of the kebab is the Algerian sauce they cover the meat with. I don't know what they put in the sauce, I tried googling it, but it is addictive. It tastes like a spicy mayonnaise. Besides tasting really good, the kebabs are inexpensive which is a huge bonus for a non-working college student like myself.

  1. Looks Yummy. So the hunt is on to the secret sauce. Much like McDonalds secret sauce for the Big Mac.
