| quote: | Döner kebab around the world
Döner kebab is now widely available across Europe and North America, mostly in the variant developed in Germany. The meat may be lamb, mutton, beef, goat, or chicken. Döner kebab is the origin of other similar Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes such as shawarma and gyros.
Albania
In Albania, döner kebabs are usually called sufllaqe and sold at fast food stores. In southern parts of the country, they are called "gjiro". They are made with either beef or chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise, french fries, ketchup, and/or mustard, etc. In general, a normal "gjiro" in Southern Albania is made with tomatoes, onions, french fries, ketchup, mustard and "salc kosi" (Yogurt Sauce). Another variant includes a Russian Salad dressing versus salc kosi or mayonnaise.
Australia
In Australia, döner kebab—usually called just 'kebabs'— are very popular owing to immigration from Greece, Turkey, the former Yugoslavia, and Lebanon and are perceived as a healthier alternative to McDonald's or KFC. Kebabs are usually served in flatbread.
Austria
Döner kebab shops can be found in all cities across the country. Kebabs (rarely referred to as "döner") are very popular in Austria and outsell burgers or the traditional Würstel (sausage) stands. The range of döner is similar to other German speaking countries, but one is more likely to find a chicken kebab in central Vienna than lamb or beef kebab.

Not at University level.
There are TAFE colleges, which fit in somewhere between HS and Uni, and I think quite a few of the certificates or whatever are 2 years in length. TAFE is though :stongue: |

Nah, our 2yr colleges and schools aren't Uni level. They are in the same position between HS and Uni. A Stepping stone of sorts. |
