"When my sister came to visit me in England last spring, there were a handful of authentic Oxford experiences I wanted to ensure she had - going punting, attending a college bop, making a late-night stop at the kebab van after a long bout of drinking.

Though the last-mentioned may not be what one thinks of when evoking the traditional culture of Oxford - you mean Tolkien didn't snack on chicken kebabs from the Hot n' Tasty van during his time here? - they are as salient a part of the Oxford landscape as Tom Tower or the Rad Cam."

Most Oxonmooters now give kebab vans a wide berth, after the diastrous experience of a few years ago!
