Yes but in Scotland, your Gyro is something completely different. Michael Send a noteboard - 09/09/2010 09:56:52 AM
That being the Greek version of the Turkish doner kebab usually shortened to just kebab in popular usage in the UK.

It isn't unusual for kebab places to get done for health violations:P


Ah'm goin' down the bru to get mah gyro.

*translation* I am going to the department of work and pensions to get my benefit money.
The Monday Cafe - open when I damn well feel like it

I blame Alric

Do you know the weirdest thing about Scotland? Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:26:18 PM 1522 Views
True, and I agree with your theory. Camilla - 08/09/2010 11:31:46 PM 996 Views
Good. I thought it made sense. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:33:25 PM 1091 Views

deep fried mars bars? *NM* Yunalesca - 08/09/2010 11:34:09 PM 457 Views
They're actually very tasty. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:34:33 PM 647 Views
shame that they look like a heart attack tho. *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 606 Views
Eat them with your eyes closed? Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:46 AM 1248 Views
*twitches* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:04:21 AM 1022 Views
Kebabs are not repulsive! You're repulsive! Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:07:33 AM 1195 Views
*cries* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:11:17 AM 1184 Views
*offers a hankie* Sorry. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:12:54 AM 1010 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:13:06 AM 1049 Views
I mostly mean meat on a stick, with the occasional veggie, roasted over fire or grilled. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:14:43 AM 1038 Views
Ah. In Britain, "kebab" means Doner Kebab. I think they call the other one Shish Kebab. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:17:56 AM 983 Views
I've heard shishkebab before, but just assumed it was shortened to kebab. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:21:22 AM 1047 Views
It is a good question - what's the difference between pita and (döner) kebab. Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:20:38 AM 1048 Views
Well, I've never seen a doner kebab, so I can't really speak to that... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:24:57 AM 1128 Views
Re: Well, I've never seen a doner kebab, so I can't really speak to that... Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:32:28 AM 1127 Views

Gyro snoopcester - 09/09/2010 12:29:42 AM 994 Views
Now, Gyros I know. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:31:55 AM 1115 Views
I'm thinking "Aladdin's Gyrocery" isn't Greek... Awesome name though. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:10 AM 607 Views
Yeah, I'm guessing their not Greek... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:34:44 AM 1128 Views

*NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 04:15:51 PM 548 Views
Uhg! I went to Scotland and ate nothing deep fried! Ben! Where is my Mars bar??? *NM* M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 12:03:22 AM 493 Views
it fell in the frier? *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:05:45 AM 641 Views
Maybe he figured you didn't want to eat American food staples while you were there. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 09/09/2010 12:26:30 AM 649 Views
But the Fried Mars Bar is for some reason, a Scotish national dish! We did have great food though mm *NM* M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 04:32:10 AM 643 Views
Similar in Mexico... Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:38:46 PM 1114 Views
Huh. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:40:27 PM 1132 Views
Yuh huh. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:08 PM 1068 Views
Well. My lecturers and tutors left that out. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:47:21 PM 1025 Views
Much shame on them. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:49:57 PM 1065 Views
Re: Much shame on them. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:53:37 PM 941 Views
True... most Chicanos prefer it a bit warmer than "freezing cold." Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:55:23 PM 1065 Views
Jugo? I'd say zumo... Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:51:10 PM 1191 Views
I'm probably strange, but that makes me think of tomatoes. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:51 PM 942 Views
Might be used for tomatoes too, sure. But zumo de naranja, zumo de manzana, etc., all works. Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:01:47 AM 1118 Views
zumo is Spanish-Spanish, I believe Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:02:14 AM 1091 Views
Yeah, but I was confused because Rebekah said jugo was Spanish-Spanish. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 09:47:21 AM 680 Views
Maybe it's a regional thing? Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:50:11 AM 992 Views
I don't know if that's weirder than manskirts, musical vacuum cleaners and eating sheep guts... *NM* ßelals Girl - 08/09/2010 11:40:03 PM 680 Views
I have no idea what you're talking about. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:42:32 PM 1107 Views
What, Spain and Scotland (okay, and Brittany) are "almost every European country" now? *NM* Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:52:18 PM 680 Views
There was some unexpected country with bagpipes the other day. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:56:07 PM 1181 Views
Actually, this is a better list. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:57:47 PM 1085 Views
Okay. We'll just have to conclude they're really, really obscure/rare in most of those countries. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:00:07 AM 636 Views
Well. They're certainly not popular anymore. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 1006 Views
I can't imagine why *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:26:29 AM 650 Views
Awww. Bagpipes played well are lovely. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:32:36 AM 1140 Views
it also helps if they arn't played right down your ear *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:44:38 AM 532 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:45:59 AM 620 Views
my ears still ring every now and then *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:51:10 AM 646 Views
What are you talking about, bagpipe music rocks! *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:43 AM 614 Views
They sound like a car alarm in a blender ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:59:58 AM 1114 Views
I can't stop laughing at your comparison. nossy - 09/09/2010 02:56:30 AM 1139 Views
*NM* Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:41 PM 642 Views
Thanks! I'll be here all week *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:27:13 AM 638 Views
I'll be sure to tip the waitress... and can I try the veal? *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:28:12 AM 673 Views
Veal makes me sad. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:39:09 AM 631 Views
As long as it's produced ethically, I don't feel bad enjoying it. *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:40:16 AM 626 Views
I dunno. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:43:01 AM 1004 Views
It's OK... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:45:41 AM 1010 Views
Rocky mountain... oysters? Buh? Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:50:05 AM 1200 Views
If they're the same as regular mountain oysters... Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:51:37 AM 974 Views
Nope! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:09:02 AM 1019 Views
They are not oysters at all! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:08:32 AM 1029 Views

How the hell do you... Michael - 09/09/2010 10:00:05 AM 990 Views
But those are the best parts about Scotland. Avendesora - 09/09/2010 03:44:18 PM 1033 Views
What a strange people. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/09/2010 11:56:36 PM 588 Views
In every way. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:00 PM 624 Views
Hey Rebekah? M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 12:05:09 AM 1134 Views

I was surprised to see nobody had beaten me to it. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/09/2010 08:47:22 PM 594 Views
As was I. *NM* Palatine - 10/09/2010 07:16:47 PM 608 Views
