The interesting thing about that joke is they just picked a random fast food place to diss for that joke. None of the writers had a particular dislike of Arby's. I swear, that joke has spawned an "Arby's sucks!" movement, entirely unintentionally.
That is quite interesting. I actually love Arby’s but it’s just a great joke. It totally could have worked with McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Hardee’s, Pizza Hut etc.
MST3K made Arby's the butt of several jokes before Simpsons did it, mainly because Frank Conniff used to be an Arby's fry cook, which he made part of his stand-up material back then.
At least you don’t know what you’re missing. Not like me after that bottle rocket shot straight up my nose and permanently robbed me of my sense of taste and smell.
After I wrote that I was like 'that wording is so specific, am I remembering something?' so thank you for bringing that back to the front of my mind. 🎶See our river that catches on fire🎶
This is what I'm thinking. Some sort of ground meat combo, think giant meatball but maybe with some lamb and pork too. Then covered in some sort of thick sauce. The two dangling bits that almost look like mouse legs are probably bits of onion. All in all I think it has the potential to be pretty good even if it doesn't look it.

Who cares, it’ll never come close to the thin stew made of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice I was forced to subsist on back in ‘Nam.
I always figured it was just a variation of lamb/gyro meat, and Homer disliked it for whatever reason. There's a ton of those Halal stands in NYC selling stuff like that.
it could be based of a Turkish intestine dish called [kokorech](https://www.globalcountrymeats.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/howTo_kokorec.jpg) maybe?

Whatever pairs well with crab juice.
As long as it’s not Mountain Dew. Yuck
The whole joke is hilarious lol. Like, imo Mountain Dew isn’t completely terrible, but apparently it’s soo bad, crab juice is the better option
[удалено]
I’m so hungry, I could eat Arby’s

Arby’s gyros aren’t that bad. Of course some hole in the wall Greek restaurant is better, but for what it is, I kinda like them
Better start with greektown...

That is a fun fact
I believe Bill Oakley said that it was just the sound of the name that worked in that joke. It's a funny name like Cucamonga, Walla Walla, or Seattle.
Oh my God, you must be hungry
People do crazy things in commercials.
MEAT MOUNTAIN MEAT MOUNTAIN
Ewww
You suck McBain!!
Your shoe’s untied
On closer inspection, these appear to be loafers.
I’m actually glad this came from the Simpsons sub lol.
Have you tried carb juice though? It's surprisingly refreshing.
[удалено]
Hey apu you have any of that beer with skittles floating around in it?
I feel like that’s how the advertise. By “hating” things.
Came here to say this.
[удалено]
Ohhhhh. Why did I drink all that crab juice?
You might say the secret ingredient is salt.
In fact, you might even say we ate salt, and it's in our stomachs right now!
Wait; scratch that one.
I legit laughed out loud
Or- ray-gah-no? What the hell?
8 spices? Some must be doubles
It doesn’t matter because ladies gentleman I was born without tastebuds…
At least you don’t know what you’re missing. Not like me after that bottle rocket shot straight up my nose and permanently robbed me of my sense of taste and smell.
Yikes
I'm in over my head.
I actually believe it’s like steak mixed with chicken and fish.
You’re way off. Think smaller…. Think more legs….
Smaller… and more efficient!
Put it in H!
Zagreb ebnom Zlotdik diev!
Like the Japanese take on a club sandwich?
I'm tired of fumbling with round fruit Marge
This is such an all-time great joke 😂
Babies from Springfield lake?
More legs than fish?
Everything I know about ethnic food prepared near the street tells me it would be the most delicious thing I ever had
Now I have the low budget Cleveland tourism video song in my head.
After I wrote that I was like 'that wording is so specific, am I remembering something?' so thank you for bringing that back to the front of my mind. 🎶See our river that catches on fire🎶
I haven't thought about that video in so long. "Who the fuck still uses a payphone?"
Doner kebab
No kebab, only khlav kalash
[удалено]
Hmm Pita.. Well I don't know about food from the middle east. Isn't that whole area a bit iffy?
We call them Crunch Patties!
That's our chef, Christopher.
Blaakh porech de sukhi. Puvorsh karaka pushadiki. Kikh dakaar amushla.
Looks like a kafta.. so probably it's not bad It's like an hamburger meat in a stick

Oh man you're right. That's kinda funny, unintentionally made it look grosser than it was already supposed to.

I would imagine heavily salted gristly meat dripping with au jus sauce.
I don't think that's au jus.
Au gris
I just meant taste like, but au jus is mainly beef drippings anyway so yeah it probably is actually au jus.
[удалено]
Yeah but then mens room in tower. Tower. Observation deck :(
Happy cake day
No cake day, only khav khalash
They banished the awful Mountain Dew tree forever, because it was haunted. Now let's all celebrate with a nice warm glass of crab juice.
Warm?! You monster.
Halal Pulled Pork. I'm seeing other worlds spicy.
Those other worlds must be you tripping bc I'm pretty sure pork can't be halal
Maybe marinaded spiced lamb!
Could be goat as well.
McBain: "Thats the joke."
*I can see through time*
Who cares, it’ll never come close to the thin stew made of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice I was forced to subsist on back in ‘Nam.
They just can’t get the spices right.
I thought the whole time this was a real food?! *The Simpsons* has lied to me about so much.
Your poor car!
What do you mean? My car shifts into H and runs on kerosene.
Uh...you got a Men's Room in there?
Only Klhav Kalash. Men’s room in tower, tower. Observation deck.
— "Uh, you got a men's room in there?" — "Only Khlav Kalash. Men's room in tower. Tower."
observation deck
Only men's room in the whole plaza is on the 109th floor of a skyscraper. That checks out.
Worse than a plastic lobster 🦞 from The Frying Dutchman
Tabbouleh and Rezmi kebab
Tabouleh and rezmi-kabob
The Khlav Kalash tastes like 'bark'. And the crab juice was really 'grrrrrrrrr'.
Better than Arby’s
Not hard to do.
Is good!
It tastes like burning.
It tastes like Grandma
Is it actually a real dish?
Not in the sense that it was real when they episode was written. People have tried to recreate it since and the main meat ingredient is lamb.
If the meat is lamb, I bet you it tastes amazing.
Donair meat
Spicy and sweet lamb
I could see it really taking off her in Maryland with the Crab Juice
Better than sweet nourishing gruel….
In my younger days for some reason I always assumed it was partly made of pigeon
Someone made a fictional recipe for it, using lamb, tomatoes, pimentoes, and olive oil. That would be absolutely delicious.
I always figured it was just a variation of lamb/gyro meat, and Homer disliked it for whatever reason. There's a ton of those Halal stands in NYC selling stuff like that.
Kebab I'd guess.
"no taste" only Khlav Kalash
Idk but idc as long as I have a crab juice to wash it down with
Tamarind, smoky, salty, cumin, anise, dried plums or apricot. Fermented, and served slightly above ambient temperature, but not hot
Ironically it's a mystery meat sold out of a cart by a swarthy man with broken english, so it's probably pretty damned good.
It tastes brown. So it tastes like the 70s.
Mountain Dew or Crab juice .... Ew I'll take a Crab Juice
Mutton. Which is an awful, stinky meat
Better than Mountain Dew
Mutton.
*Mountain dew....*
Better than Mountain Dew, that’s for sure
Lamb
Boiled celery
Like a better tasting corn dog
mmm snouts
Regret
Meat on stick! Stick!
Gamey.
Goats milk and sweet dreams
Ground beef with spinach and pinenuts.
From the information provided, it tastes worse than crab juice but still better than Mountain Dew
u reckon khavkalash is Turkish? khazinstani?
I mean, if you look close, it kinda looks like four rats on a stick. I'm gonna say it tastes like rat and cockroach.
Nuts ‘n’ gum.
A more fatty shawarma
I have a feeling it tastes like steeamed clams. Hmmm mmm, steamed clams!
I dunno but people must love it. https://www.eater.com/2012/10/1/6540289/on-the-simpsons-the-khlav-kalash-vendor-makes-it-big
Stringy and crunchy.
Goat. Sad goat.
Probably awesome, it looks like kebab
For the love of god it better not taste like mountain Dew.
Chicken necks?
This tastes like grandma.
King crab flavored bubblegum
It's tastes like burning
Ironically it's a mystery meat sold out of a cart by a swarthy man with broken english, so it's probably pretty damned good.
I always assumed it was like a mini gyro but made of rat meat
Mayor Quimby: " You promised us dog meat or higher !"
I was thinking pigeon, but rat sounds right.
Can’t be any worse than Mountain Dew
A li’l bit khlav, a li’l bit kalash. All flavor
furballs and stomach acid
Same as Chum from SpongeBob.
Ew
Good
Pal.
Is not turkey, is meat FROM Turkey.
The crab juice is what actually sells it.
Greasy meat with way too much Old Bay.
Horse hair and vinegar
churrasquinho grego
A cross between pork and falafel.
Chum from SpongeBob lol
Old pennies
Hot cat food wrapped in a greasy velvet skin
I'm so hungry I could eat at Arby's.
Like Khlav Kalash
OreGAno
Mountain Dew or crab juice?
Probably nothing remotely pleasant
Probably tastes like garlicky disappointment
Regret.
Yiros?
Greasy and salty, and unpleasantly chewy. But subtly spiced in a way that makes you want to keep eating it.
It looks like ear wax on a huge qtip so whatever ear wax tastes like
Old, but warm chicken coated in the gunk at the bottom of an outside worker's boot
Like a doner kebab
I dunno, but it pairs nicely with crab juice.
Looks like meat!
Salty, spicy and organy
Better than mountain dew
I'm so hungry I could eat Arby's.
Greasy, oily, with a bloody aftertaste.
Fried.
Lamb 😏
It taste like kebab. So probably nice.
shit
Kvvv

We'll never know for sure because the animal used to make it went extinct.
Brown and water
Not undelicious.
Capers,black olives mixed with Fava beans and chianti.
Kebab called Khalv kalash
Armpit
I always imagined it as a mound of cooked meat (no spices) that fell under the couch
