From what I read the other day nossy Send a noteboard - 27/04/2017 08:35:35 PM

Chances are they are rather different. The regional changes include what type of meat is used and which herbs. I'm willing to try though! I need to find a Greek place, but one doesn't come across them in a village.


View original postPartially because I'm not sure whether the American idea of gyros is the same as the Greek idea of gyros, and ours would be found mostly in Greek restaurants...

I'm making gyros. I can't explain how much I miss American versions of, well, everything. nossy - 26/04/2017 07:49:16 PM 1321 Views

Aren't gyros incredibly popular over there under the name doner kebab? *NM* Ghavrel - 27/04/2017 06:41:23 AM 510 Views
Spicing isn't the same. At all. Otherwise, I'd be unstoppable. nossy - 27/04/2017 09:05:20 AM 939 Views
Oh. See, I get gyros for the grease, the umami, and the tzatziki. The spices are secondary. *NM* Ghavrel - 27/04/2017 09:35:36 AM 534 Views
