HERE’S CHEEBAB

The roll of specially-made Swiss cheese is caramelised to a gooey crisp on a rotisserie, just like a meat kebab.

Shavings are then stuffed inside a flatbread packed with salad and sauces.

Master cheesemaker Roland Ruegg spent months perfecting the decadent Cheebab veggie-friendly meat alternative in Zurich Oberland, Switzerland.

Now it is coming to the UK, with a pop-up store launching at Cutty Sark Market, in Greenwich, South London, on April 6 followed by Camden two weeks later.

If Brits love , permanent stores may follow.

The taste has been described as an oozing mixture of cheddar and halloumi.

Marketing director Ekram Khan said: “Hopefully a meat kebab will no longer be the British takeaway of choice.”
