Usage notes

• It is often served with some kind of small bread, but it is not served in a bread. See kebab med bröd (“doner kebab”).
• It is in many ways similar to a kebabsallad, but here with mostly french fries instead of lettuce.
• While in many ways similar to Australian halal snack pack, it is far from certain that a kebabtallrik is halal certified. You will also be hard-pressed to find one with cheese.
