Haven't actually tried it yet, but eating a lot of offal here in Asia so would suit my taste quite well, I suppose. What else is local to the Pfalze and maybe even to be recommended?

I'm with you in respect to the kebab places. I was mentioning to my wife the other day that it is a shame that there is so much great Turkish food elsewhere, but here it is kebab place after kebab place, seemingly one on every corner
In Berlin and Cologne where I normally spend my time in Germany, Doner really is just a sidenote in the Turkish restaurants. Ah, some of those chicken and lamb dishes, especially from the provinces bordering on Syria, are just too delicious with their Arab style rich flavours.

I haven't really seen anything to indicate an overabundance of fast food here, compared to elsewhere. We have a few McDonalds around, but not much else. Nordsee is in the slightly bigger towns, but I guess you could consider them fast food of sorts.
I'd call all those discount bakeries and supermarket el cheapo Imbiss stands fast food as well. And Nordsee is at most a poor cousin of the brilliant lunch sets you can get at a good fishmonger. I do love my herring in cream sauce with onions, not just on Fridays...
