The Discovery of Kebabs

So today I finally found food an ethnic food here that I like!  I loove the pasta and pizza and suppli here of course, but every once in a while I get a craving for something different.  Perhaps the thing I miss the most is my Mexican food, especially my Chipotle burrito.  In America, I would stop by Chipotle and get a burrito at least once every week or so.  So today I was walking back to our apartment and passed a place that said 'Italian Kebabs' on it.  When I hear the word kebab, I usually think of pieces of gross meat on a stick.  However, I've seen a ton of kebab restaurants in Rome and figured it was about time I try one!  To my surprise, an 'italian kebab' is not a stick with meat on it, but actually very similar to a burrito!  To make it, they shave off fresh meat (I chose chicken) and then add lettuce, tomato, and spicy sauces, wrapping it in a burrito for the final touch.  The only thing I wish that was included was rice, but some places even throw in fries- which I think is a pretty good substitute!  The kebabs I've had are soo good and definitely kick the Mexican craving!  I found a Doner Kebab place conveniently located right around the corner from my apartment!  I will definitely be visiting it again soon!
