I thought a gyro, pronounced "yee-ro" was a Greek sandwich with the type of meat you described wrapped in a thick pita with cucumber sauce, tomato, feta, etc.

There is such thing as a Gyros sandwich. But you can also get Gyros with your eggs (just the meat).

Eataries in the UK are really crap in general. I went to Walkabout for lunch not too long ago, and it came with chips, so I just asked them to not give them to me. And they told me they couldn't do that. They can't omit something from my plate?

Maybe they're just trying to be awkward, maybe they're just stupid, or maybe all their meals just fall off the back of a van lol

Re: "We only do vegetables on a sunday sir".

Gyro (or, more properly, gyros) is a pita sandwich, and also a term for the rotisserie meat in the pita sandwich.

Döner kebab, literally "rotating meat" in Turkish, is a sliced lamb or chicken loaf slowly roasted on a vertical rotating spit. It is similar to gyros, shawarma and Taco al pastor. Döner kebab is popularly best known served in pita (UK pitta) bread with salad but is also served on a dish with a salad and bread or French fries on the side or used on Turkish pizzas called pide or "kebabpizza". Take-out döner kebab or shawarma restaurants are common in some parts of Europe. Döner Kebab is said to be the best-selling fast food in Germany, Poland and comes close in the popularity stake-outs in France, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Australia. Take-out gyros are quite popular in the United States where beef and lamb are typically used. Shawarma is available in ethnic neighborhoods but döner kebab is mostly unknown outside of large places like New York City.

Some kebab connoisseurs will also point out that it contains every food group for a healthy meal and lifestyle. It has bread (cereals group), cabbage and lettuce (vegetables group), tomatoes (fruit group), creamy herb sauce (dairy group), oil (fat group) not to mention the döner meat (meat group), although one might note some imbalance in the relative ratios (notably, the fat, meat and vegetable groups.)

*giggles* I think Pres is holding this thread up all by himself!!

I've always been abit sceptical of kebab meat. Is it proper meat? Or...and I dont mean to offend/gross anyone out .... is it all the crap bits of meat left over like hoofs+tongues and things?
