General Food/Eating Discussion

@DougNg:

We call it a gyro

I have it on good authority its the same thing because my greek friend and my turkish ex had a shouting match over it's name

I just say "gimme a number three"

Lemme guess- your Turkish ex said that the above is called a gyro, and your Greek friend said that it most definitely is not?

I'm with the Greeks on this one; that is not a gyro.  A gyro is lamb, tomatoes, onion and tzatziki sauce on a fluffy pita.  That's it, nothing else.

Whatever you call it, though, a pizza with lamb and fries and all that other stuff is genius.

We call it 'pita', but the Turks here call it Kebab… I have it with falafel and feta cheese and garlic sauce...

Pita is the bread
Gyro has been explained…
Döner is the meat in the turkish version of "pita" or gyro (specially made in the upright pole, usually lamb or mix of lamb and beef, sometimes made also of chicken)
Kebab is same as shaslik (russia) or souvlaki (in greece); meat skewers

this pizza came like this??

@Finn666:

This is the best pizza after a night of party and on all other days

. . . or a shawarma (another variant)

[injunjack]

Jeez, how could I forget that…a word long forgotten though I have eaten them in Lebanon some 20 years ago

[Geo]

something from the dim and distant past?

just another variation. everywhere has it's own unique stamp . . . from putting the gyros dish into a bread, to the various types of bread and meat, to adding extra ingredients

[injunjack]

something like that, distant past, which in someways is so near…served in UN forces there

whatever they are called, all is good. In Finland they are called pizzarolls. Or kebabs but on the other hand, kebabs have always pita. 

[DougNg]

Actually, it was my greek friend that called it a gyro

I should have said "Greek American"

UNIFIL? I don't think I would have have liked that posting much

[injunjack]

sorry 'bout OT.

yes, UNIFIL, was posted in OPS.

[Geo]

Nearest I got was a posting in Akrotiri - mostly sunbathing

[Seul]

I know the bread is called 'pita', but actually I was wrong in stating that the Turks here name it kebab: we àll call it pita…

Took my brother out on his birthday yesterday and had him choose any place he wanted to eat.  He heard of this place called The Garage by San Jose State College that he wanted to try so off we went.

The Place was very un-assuming (sat about 20 people in a revamped Garage but the food was incredible.

We had the Veggie Burger with Sweet Potato Fries, Mac-N-Cheese, and a Vanilla Bread Pudding….with a beer (I chose the Allagash Wheat Beer):
