Hvis vi skulle have store plastikting til husholdningen, snavsetøjskurve, babybadekar, opvaskebaljer, al den slags plastik-gejl uden hvilken en husholdning ikke rigtig kan køre - kørte vi over på den anden side af Lebenstedt. Der lå Wal•Mart. Vi var overbeviste om, at det var en tysk kæde, og udtalte det på tysk, ligesom de lokale også gjorde. Det var en enorm butik, og den delte parkeringsplads med et stort havecenter, hvor vi købte en tysk top-ting til vores juletræ.
På den fælles parkeringsplads stod det en lilla eller lyserød vogn, hvorfra venlige, tyrkiske mænd solgte Döner Kebab.

If we needed large plastic household items - laundry baskets, baby bathtubs, dishwashing tubs, all that plastic stuff that a household can't really do without - we drove to the other side of Lebenstedt. There was Wal•Mart. We were convinced it was a German chain and pronounced it in German, as did the locals. It was a huge store, and it shared a car park with a large garden centre where we bought a German top-thingie for our Christmas tree.
In the shared car park was a purple or pink trolley from which friendly Turkish men sold Döner Kebab.

Vi laver aldrig Döner selv - det kræøver roterende spid og sådan en sjov "barbermaskine" til kød. Men vi steger selv pulled pork og bager ofte pitabrød. Så det må være en god erstatning, og i dag vil jeg prøve det med blommesovsen fra i fredags, vi har virkelig mange blommer i år.

We never make Döner kebeab at home, but pita bread is a staple in our household, and I often bake them myself.
Tonight I'm going to try homemade Pulled pork with the Plum sauce from Friday, as we really do have many plums this year.

Pulled Pork
1 nakkesteg på ca. 2 kg (Økologisk, eller lagt i saltlage fra dagen før)
50 g brun farin
Paprika
Friskkværnet peber
Salt
2 spsk whisky (kan udelades eller erstattes efter smag)
Syvpeber
1 laurbærblad
En buket blandede krydderurter fra haven, fintklippet (timian, løvstikke, salvie, oregano ...)
3 enebær
Bland alt undtagen kødet i en ildfast fad med låg
Skyl nakkestegen i koldt vand og tør den grundigt. Læg den i fadet og masser sukker/krydderblandingen rundt på kødet med fingrene.
Læg låg på fadet og stil det i ovnen ved 110 gradet i lang tid mindst 6 timer. Vend den efter tre timer.
Hiv kødet i trævler med to gafler - det er det, der gør det til Pulled Pork - og lad det ligge lidt i stegevandet.
Server med varme pitabrød, hvidløgsdressing eller blommesovs.

Pulled Pork
1 neck roast of approx. 2kg Organic, else it's too squishy and needs salting overnight.
50 g brown sugar
Paprika
Freshly ground pepper
Salt
A spoonful or two of smoked whisky (can be omitted or substituted after taste)
Seven pepper - Japanese Nanami togarashi (else a little chilli)
1 bay leaf
A bouquet of mixed herbs from the garden, finely chopped
3 juniper berries
Mix everything except the meat in an ovenproof dish with a lid
Rinse the neck roast in cold water and dry it thoroughly.
Place it in the dish and distribute the sugar/spice mixture on the outside of the meat with your fingers.
Cover the dish and place it in the oven at 110 degrees centigrade for at least 6 hours. Turn it over after three hours.
Shred the meat with two forks - this is the Pulled part - and leave it in the cooking water for a while.
Serve with warm pita bread, garlic dressing or plum sauce.

Så håber jeg Dönervognens farve rammer månedens farve godt nok.
Walmart is everywhere it seems. Though we tend to call it Mallwart here as it is so ubiquitous. Well done on that dusty pink.

MallWart :D It's not in Germany any more - they pulled out some years ago - and never reached Denmark. Thank you. Pink is a hard colour for me.
SletEnjoy your meal. Walmart hasn't reached us here - but we have too many ubiquitous department stores. Wisewebwoman is right about your cleverness in including pink today.
SvarSletThanks we did. It was good. I do not know why tis comment was not visibel to me before now. Blogger is acting up again. I also pulled a slew of comments from spam prison once again. It gets old very fast.
SletWalmart is also not in Denmark, and has even left Germany, but genereic department stores abound, and the goods are mainly the same with different labels.
Pink is a hard colour for me.
I always just call it MallMart, and we have them all over the place, but never on the way to where I'm going when I need one!
SvarSletHehe, of course not there when you need them :D
